    The Wedding Diaries: The Bridesmaid Dresses | QueenBeady

    Now, call me a bitter bride I don’t care. To my dismay when our photographer, Jenny Prest (who is AMAZING by the way and all the photos you are seeing are hers!! Bar one or two shots!!) was loading some snippets to her facebook page and people were commenting MORE on the Bridesmaid dresses than mine.

    Although, secretly I was pleased as no-one could see my vision. I told everyone numerous times, red shoes & petticoat. I was greeted with looks of despair and questionable glances ensued but I was adamant. That was what it was going to be!

    And, look how pretty they all look. The Cath Kidston style fit in perfectly with the wedding. They all looked amazing in them and it is such a flattering style of dress. In fact I was jealous that I wasn’t a bridesmaid in one of them. (Although, I personally don’t think I could trade my beautiful dress in just yet!)

    I stumbled upon these dresses on, you guessed it, eBay. They were from British Retro eBay Shop and at £45 they were a steal. They even gave me a small discount for purchasing 6 dresses. If you are looking for something a little bit kitsch and cute this is the place to go!

    What Bridesmaid dresses have you chosen or have you been a Bridesmaid where you loved or loathed your dress? I want to hear so drop me a comment below.

    The Choo’s. Sorry, I mean the shoes. Yes, my beloved Jimmy Choo’s.

    It’s every little girls dream to wear a pair of knock out shoes on their big day, right? Well I was no exception to the rule. However, I had resigned myself to the fact it was never going to happen with our tight and limited budget. I could not have been more wrong.

    One day I was browsing my trusty eBay, when I decided to randomly search ‘’Jimmy Choo’s Size 5’’ and they pinged up on my screen as if someone was looking down on me and show me the most beautifulest shoes known to man.  I looked at the price tag and decided that I shouldn’t look any further, leaving it way past the ending date. But, I just could not get them off my mind. So I scrambled back to the sellers page and noticed they had not sold so I took a gamble and contacted the seller and explained that I was madly in love with the shoes and I wanted them for my wedding day.

    I could not have asked for a more lovelier lady. She had got married the previous year and knew how hard it had been to save and the reason she was selling them was because she worked for Net A Porter and had bought them in a flash staff sale. She then knocked me £50 off the asking price. I think I actually may have fallen to my knee’s that day and thanked my lucky stars and whatever magnificent being was looking down on me that very moment! I had the dream shoes.

    The story then get’s better. They fit. Like a glove. Almost like the enchanted tale of the Cinderella ‘’who shall go to the ball’’ kind of fit.

    What were your wedding shoes like? Did you feel like a Princess when you wore them, like I did?
