Simple Dresses - Great gowns for Brides, Bridesmaids and Proms

Simple Silhouettes is a US based company specializing in simple dress shapes with a fabulous array of colours and trims to choose from to make up your perfect ensemble. I came across them several years ago when planning my own wedding, but see that they now ship Internationally which is great news for those 'this' side of the pond.

If you or your Bridesmaids cringe at the run-of-the-mill "Cookie Cutter" Bridesmaid look (that is, several adults all kitted out in the same 'uniform' of a great dress they'll never wear again), then these funky dresses will certainly let your individual styles and personalities shine through so that you all feel special on the Big Day and they'll honestly *want* to wear their dress over and over again - not just say they will out of politeness!

All of the dress styles can be made in all colours and fabrics, so the possibilities are endless for simple, but stunning wedding, prom, party or Bridesmaid dresses without the 'princess-y' pomp if that just isn't your thing. Only chic shapes available here and check out their website for great model shots of how they can be accessorised for maximum effect. We love.

Designer Wedding Show (9-11th October 2009)

You may have yet to find The Dress and still merely dreaming about the other finishing touches to your day, or perhaps having a last minute panic about finding the right tiara! Either way, get yourself to London's renowned Designer Wedding Show at Battersea this October for a day of inspirational window shopping, although the best bit is that you can buy or order while you're there if anything catches your eye and may meet the actual designers themselves. Glamour and shopping, it's the perfect day out!

The Designer Wedding Show runs from the 9th-11th October 2009 at the amazing venue of Battersea Park, London and tickets can be purchased in advance either online or by phone. Divine shopping and a good excuse for a day out with your mum or Bridesmaids, stopping off at the in-house Champagne Bar of course...
