Well I thought I’d do yet another blog as I am becoming a little obsessed with doing them this week, so much so that I have created a big long list of things and features I feel the need to tell you about
I recently had the excitement of shooting all of our bridesmaids dresses and being involved in the whole process, stepping into a photographers world was quite daunting, we used Andy Cahill at Photoworks and I have never seen anything like it, this man knows his photography inside out what with being a commercial photographer for so many years. The shoot was done in a lovely old theatre using a couple of stunning models from London provided by Source Models, and a fabulous make up and hair stylist Frances Burns.
We used stunning hair flowers and hair pieces by Amanda Wyatt and Charlotte Balbier however we wanted something a little bit different for the vintage style, I managed to find a lovely girl through facebook who clearly knew her vintage hair pieces called Extra Special Touch and I fell in love with one of them.
One thing we wanted to do this year was increase our vast collection of bridesmaids dresses by introducing some new fabulous styles and what with vintage being so big at the moment we knew we had to be part of that success in some way. I am very lucky to know an outstanding designer in this field not to mention other fields, Leigh (as she likes to be called) never fails to impress us or her vast customer base, stunning ranges, she listens to the customers and implements exactly what they want and we feel very lucky to have ascertained exclusivity to the beautiful Grace design in a small polka dot fabric. So thanks Call Me Betty Vintage

We wanted to shoot all of our bridesmaids dresses in the very best way we could, we have always gone for just a frontal image but they were looking dated and tired so we knew we had to do something this year to recreate our bridesmaids dresses and showcase them beautifully so we listened to our customers and went ahead with producing 4 or 5 images of every dress, showing the front, back, a casual view and of course close ups of any detailing that they may have. The shoot took two days but my god was it worth it.
Lets show you the vintage style bridesmaids dresses first of all, a new avenue of stunning colours and I am sure you will agree they are just fabulous.
The dresses are a beautiful polka dot vintage style swing dress, the dress has little cap sleeves, it has a full circle skirt, a curved bust seam with contrast piping and fullness into the seam. The dress has a detachable bow brooch at the front, it has a zip fastening at the back, It is boned for an extra flattering nipped in waist and lined to the waist. Now for the colours.
