New dress time!

Because when isn't it new dress time round here? :) I wanted a dress with a low 'v' at the back embellished with something pretty. (too much time on pinterest is no good for me!) So when I found this champagne tulle I knew it would be perfect. I layered it with ivory tulle which adds a softness to the skirt that I like.

 

 

 

The front is plain, almost too plain for my liking, hence I added the brooch for these photos. But that's not the point because this dress is all about the back. Satin covered buttons, just for show of course, I love the look of buttons but they are annooooying to do up! And beaded lace panels, cut from an old wedding dress frame the neckline perfectly. Can't wait to wear it, but it is quite formal. I always plan to go for something more casual and it always ends up dressy. Never mind, I'm a firm believer that you can never be too overdressed! :)

This week...Veils and cushions :)

This week has been mostly about making veils, I've been surrounded by tulle in ivory and white, tiny pearl beads, satin ribbon and beautiful trims, I've been in my element, think I might have found my calling in life! :)

 

 

 But not just that, I've also been on a ring-cushion making kick. Using up beautiful scraps of satin and lace to create lovely wedding ring cushions, it's been a bit of a wedding accessories workshop around here, my favourite kind of week! :)
