Clearly at her July 11, 2011 nuptials, Kate Moss has taken the ‘more-the-merrier’ approach with fifteen bridesmaids and a maid of honour. Amongst the fifteen was her eight year old daughter Lila Grace, her thirteen year old sister Lottie Moss and children of her close friends.

I really adore the bandos because they are so much more flexible than the Alice bands. Here are some …
