Where is your wedding dress now?

Where is your wedding dress now? Assuming that is, i) that you have been married and ii) are female? (I am thinking my male readership is one; my husband). Maybe your wedding dress is still safe and sound in your mind's eye? Mine is hanging in a wardrobe upstairs...unceremoniously there amongst many other dresses. How can something so special have no real place in life now?

Some of my friends said they would sell their wedding dresses...in a way to justify the astronomic cost of one item of clothing. But when it came to it, just not possible. My dress; it was the first I tried and the one I went back to after trying many others. It was a two-piece, a full, full skirt and a beaded bodice. I will always remember that 'swish, swish' of the duchess satin as I walked. The weight of it. Its the only time in my life I have ever worn such a gown...

So, as there has been a touch too much reality for me this week, here are some wonderful, dreamy, fantasy gowns to gaze at...they make me recall my wedding day when I was a fantasy gown wearer for one just day.


What a fantastic image, a shot of yellow - this is Blake Lively for Vanity Fair...


Ruffle heaven and swan-like posture...


I think Emily Blunt is just beautiful and these two images are so decadent...



Vintage pink tulle...Kate Moss languishing...in Vogue...


Lara Stone also in Vogue...the contrasts on this dress are lovely.


This I adore; an oriental twist on the gown...


SJP...on an Annie Leibovitz photo shoot...


A puff of dreamy pink...

And for the future brides...a little girl's version...
