A White Wedding

Since the Royal Wedding and the Hollywood Wedding (Kim Kardashian) theres been an influx in demand for white bridesmaids dresses. And after seeing how stunning Pippa Middleton and the Kardashian sisters looked, who can blame brides to be for wanting white bridesmaids dresses?

So I did I spot of research and here is what I found on the highstreet...

And if you've got a few more pennies to spend how about these beauties...

All the above are available from the Dessy Group.

And who can resist a cute little Flower Girl...

Available from Debehams (the dress that is, not the child)

And its not just white dresses that are causing a stir.  White has been a very popular theme for local lancashire weddings.  So in keeping with the theme, this moodboard provides inspiration for simple. yet stunning venue decoration.  Think crisp diamonds, wildflowers, candlelight and fresh crisp linen...

So what do you all think of a white wedding? Or would you prefer a splash of colour in your big day?

A Sneak Peak at Kim Kardashians Wedding

So no officially photos have been released yet (due on 5th September in People Magazine), but what Lancashire Bride hears about the Hollywood Wedding of the Year is that it was a magnificent black and white charming but jaw droppingly expensive affair.  If these sneak peaks are anything to go by, we can't wait to see the official photos!

Going against the tradition that no other guest should wear white to avoid upstaging the bride, guest had to adhere to a strict dress code of black and white.  And in true William and Kate style, the Bridesmaids were yet again in white.  (I see a trend starting.)  Even the staff had to abide to the dresscode...

Eonline.com reports that Kim's Vera Wang dress "was strapless, with a fitted bodice, a full, rather traditionally cut tulle skirt, and an epic train. The shoes were Guiseppe Zanotti. Her hair was up and her veil remained off her face as she walked down the aisle, the veil topped by a jeweled headpiece with diamonds that dripped onto Kim's forehead."

And the 30 minute ceremony alone was quite eventful.  It included a touching tribute from Kim to her late father and a near miss when sister Kourtney, almost tripped carrying her son Mason (the ring bearer) down the aisle.  Little Mason, however, rescued the situation by making the nerve reckoning jaunt down the aisle himself.

If rumours are to believed Kim Kardashian (or Humphries should we say) sets to make more money out the wedding than what it actually cost. Thats one savvy bride if ever I saw one!

Keeping Up With The Kardashians

So tomorrow, in what is bound to be a paparazzi dream, Kim Kardashian is to marry NBA hunk Kris Humphries.  And if her engagement ring is anything to go by, the 'event' is lined up to be the party (sorry, wedding) of the year.

Family friend, Vera Wang is said to have designed Kim's 3 dresses (!), the bridesmaids dresses and the Mother of the Brides!

Other rumours that have surfaced include:

• Kim has had 19 fittings for her wedding dresses
• The cake has reportedly cost $20,000.
• Kim has asked all her guests to wear white.
• She is believed to have signed a $500,000 deal with People magazine for the exclusive pictures.
• Kim has had to un-invite 50 people, after fire marshals ordered her to reduce the numbers for health and safety reasons. (Thanks to www.heatworld.com)

The wedding is also to be aired on E! (already home to Keeping Up with The Kardashians) as a two part series in October but I'll be updating you as soon as I can get my mitts on the pics!
