Musings

You want to look your very best on your big day and choosing the right wedding dress for your body shape can help ensure your look picture perfect.

I love the idea of switching your look between the ceremony and reception but can’t afford two dresses? We think we have the perfect solution, which our brides love. One of the great things about some of our dresses is that they can be easily transformed to create a completely different look.
