Last Saturday I got to revisit the magical place I was married in, as my cousin had her wedding in the exact same beautiful spot.
My cousin was the most beautiful bride ever, in a stunning drapey grecian goddess gown by Australian designer Collette Dinnigan. My pictures don't do justice to the incredibly stunning crystal detailing on her ivory silk satin one-shoulder drape gown...

Collette Dinnigan SS08
My gorgeous mom, visiting from Brazil, wearing a silk Perri Cutten coat dress over my Empire Rose silk dress, and Fendi Forever Mini Boston bag (a gift from my mother-in-law). Also, not pictured, she wore the shoes I wore as a bridesmaid to my sister's wedding (one size too big for her, remedied with 'Party Feet'). I wore my YSL wedding shoes...
Willow draped silk dress
Yves Saint Laurent Dada semi-wedges in Platino Dries Van Noten clutch
Tom Binns Faux Real cuff
Swarovski 'tennis bracelet' (30th b'day present from my sister)
Sportsgirl acrylic ring (bought this years ago for $1.50!)
YSL Dada semi-wedges - my wedding shoes
Bridesmaid shoes
wow, wow, WOW. First of all, I adore her wedding dress--it's so unique but very classic and elegant. Your mother is gorgeous--blue looks fab on her (can I borrow her jacket?) and YOU missy, look beautiful. I'm loving that bright yellow on you with the electric blue clutch. Just divine.
ReplyDeleteWOW! The bride looks spectacular! Gorgeous shoes! Beautiful pictures I love the gold shoes one.

Hello! Georgeous much? Both you and your mother look divine and I love the way your outfits compliment each other. The bride's dress needless to say is simply beautiful. Rest assured she won't be cringing at her wedding photos at any point in the future.

ReplyDeleteJust one word -> FABULOUS! The wedding dress is really unique, not 'your typical' wedding dress, but I think it's a classic. I love it! :-)) And oh! Your mom looks so young and pretty! What's her secret?? ;-)) :D
ReplyDeleteWow! Your cousin look gorgeous. There are soooooo many ugly, generic wedding dresses around but you can never go wrong with Collette Dinnigan.

Very pretty! I love her dress! And the clutch you have! AH!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much everyone for your lovely lovely comments!
ReplyDeleteevie - Ah, you're so sweet! Mom always gets asked if she's my sister, haha, we are quite close. Her secret? Hm...she now avoids sun on her face, hardly drinks alcohol, doesn't smoke, takes care of her skin...must start doing the same! :)
anonymous - Do I get my lips done? As in...dunno, collagen?!? *rofl* I couldn't think of anything else you may mean, so if that's it, haha, NO WAY! My lips actually disappeared in that photo due to lighting and my lipgloss fading, haven't bought a lipstick in years...Btw, you should see my sisters' lips, they have really full lips! I got the boring normal size in that dept. If that's not what you meant, I apologise for the rambling, haha! :)

Wow, what a beautiful wedding dress, I love the crystal detailing...
