Slippers To Get Ready In

Getting ready with your Bridesmaids is a key part of your Wedding Day, not only a chance to spend time with your best friends in the last few hours as a single lady but also time to capture these moments by a fabulous photographer.  These gorgeous Ruby & Ed ballerina slippers add a fantastic 'pop' of colour to your photos, as well as a great treat for your Bridesmaids.

Available from Ruby & Ed, priced at £39 each.

Design Your Own Star Necklace

I have always had a soft spot for anything with a star design... be it clothing, jewellery, baby items, you name it! Which is why when I saw this 'design your own star necklace' it first caught my eye.  Then 'how perfect' I thought as a present for your bridesmaids... who are your stars, there to support you on your Wedding day!

The large outline star comes as standard with the chain, then you can personalise the necklace by choosing the star letter and charm in a variety of different plates and sizes.

Available on Not On The High Street, priced from £18.

Personalised Gift Bags

When you are getting married you have an endless list of 'thank yous' to make. This is the reason that these simple and considered cotton gift bags caught my eye, and personalising each bag with a message of thanks makes a lovely keepsake from the day too.

Available from Not On The Highstreet from £7 each.

Wedding Morning Dressing Gowns - It's all in the detail!

As we are in the midst of planning the fast approaching Wedding of Fleur De Force I thought I would share with you all the most recent addition to the accessories we are stock piling for her Big Day.  There is actually a reason for this addition... in the photographs that I have getting ready for my Wedding Day we all look a little bit scruffy, all wearing mis-matching hoodies and PJs. As it is a great time to get some fantastic photographs of you and your closest friends together in your last moments of being a single lady, why not make the most of it.  So, Fleur and I decided that fluffy dressing gowns would be perfect for those hours spent doing hair, make-up, eating cupcakes and drinking Champagne we have ordered personalised gowns from Towelsoft.

We opted for fairly simple personalisation on each of the gowns, choosing 'Bride' for Fleur's and each of the bridesmaid's names on theirs... watch out for an appearance in Fleur's Wedding Photographs that we hope to share with you all.  Towelsoft can pretty much do anything you like...  be it a motif, embroidered initials or even a family crest. 

They also have a also a fantastic selection of colours to choose from, so you can even work it into your Wedding colour scheme!

Available from Towelsoft, priced from £40 each.

Bridesmaid Present Idea - Initial Charm Necklace

Looking for a personal present for each of your bridesmaids? I absolutely love these silver initial necklaces, delicate enough to wear on the day with most dresses and can be treasured forever as a memory of your Wedding day.

Available from Tiffany these are the higher budget option and are priced at £120 for both the charm and chain (watch out, the charm and chain are sold separately on line).  However, if you are looking for something a little less expensive there are some really pretty alternatives available on Not On The High Street.

These Stirling silver initial necklaces are priced from £39 for one charm and the chain. There is an option to add additional charms too. Charms available include a diamante stone, a star (for all your wishes to come true), wings (to protect you and those you love), a butterfly (for freedom and belief in yourself), a heart (for love to be with you always) and a horseshoe (for luck to be with you always).  So you can tailor your message/wish for each bridesmaid or even perhaps choose something in line with your Wedding theme.
