Mary needed a dress for her bridesmaid. She was on a tight budget as it was a spontaneous wedding, planned over 10 years with no set date till last week.
Her wedding colours are coral and cream. Her preference was a coral full- length dress on a £50 budget.
Her bridesmaid was a size 10 and had a fantastic figure. Mary was the decision maker so the bridesmaid didn’t have much say. She needed to feel comfortable in the dress but that was as far as her opinion went. The girl was happy to wear whatever Mary chose so long as "she didn’t look like a bin liner".
Typical to most shoppers, the dresses that caught her eye were way above budget. We always encourage people to try on dresses that they’ve fallen in love with even if they are over budget. There’s always something that you can cut in the wedding budget to make room for a beautiful dress.
After trying on different styles, which all looked lovely, she settled on one. In a soft fluid jersey fabric, this dress drapes beautifully. This dress is like a blank canvas. You can customise it for the desired look using accessories.

The empire waistline gives the illusion of a tiny waist and also accentuates the bust. She liked the idea of sleeves as it’s a winter wedding and saved her shopping for a bolero.
We agreed that to give the dress the bridal finish, we needed to glam it up and the accessories search started.
She wanted a choker but this wasn’t suitable as the dress is a plunging v-neckline. We needed something that will drop to match the shape of the neckline. We agreed on this silver statement necklace.
For the shoes, we settled on a midi heel. It was a practical and comfortable choice. A killer heel would have looked better on photos but killed her in the process. She was going to be wearing them all day and she was planning to dance all evening. The diamante’ detail on the heels matches the necklace so that was perfect.
For the clutch bag, we kept it simple with this style. Big enough to hold her phone, some lippy and pocket tissue.
