The Wedding Secret

Guest post by The Wedding Secret:

Planning weddings is often a stressful and confusing task which is why I’m passionate about ensuring that choosing, designing and fitting your wedding dress is a relaxed and enjoyable process. Recently I’ve been in touch with another company that aim to make planning a wedding that little bit easier.

I’m delighted to announce that I am now listed on The Wedding Secret. You can find my listing here:http://www.theweddingsecret.co.uk/felicity-westmacott-bespoke-dressmaker-wedding-dresses-suits-surrey.html

www.theweddingsecret.com

This really is a great website to take a look at if you’re organising a wedding, as you can find information for cake makers, hair stylists, photographers and so much more. Follow this link if you’re currently looking for a wedding photographer:http://www.theweddingsecret.co.uk/wedding-photographer-surrey.htm

Finding the perfect wedding dress is such a personal decision and so, I always spend time with my brides talking about their likes, dislikes and desires in order that I can create their dream dress. Likewise, where you choose to hold your wedding is an equally personal and important decision. The Wedding Secret also understands this and so, will give you a list of venues based on the area of the UK in which you’d like to marry. Take a look at the venues near me:http://www.theweddingsecret.co.uk/wedding-venues-in-surrey

So, when planning your wedding, take advantage of websites such as “The Wedding Secret” it really could save you a lot of time and hassle.

This Bridgerton-inspired wedding dress is so versatile!

Of course, underneath everything there first needs to be the proper shapewear to give that Regency pillar silhouette, in the form of stays and a petticoat.
Then along comes this beautiful white and gold duchess satin dress.
And this is where the fun begins...

I created some many different accessories and options for this outfit:

You can add something deeply dramatic, with a period-accurate presentation train. This one is super long and gilded in gold lace.
Or you could go for some detachable puff sleeves, finished with an ornate pearl trim.
Then there's the bow, which can be added on top of the train, or just straight onto the dress, with the long sash-tends working as a sort of mini train.

And of course, the final, and most essential accessory for a look like this: fun, whimsy and a love for the dramatic. It also helps if you're obsessed with this current season of Bridgerton, of course...

Which Bridgerton character can you imagine wearing this bridal look?

If you think this might be the dress for you, it's currently for sale on my Etsy page (🔗 in bio) - it's heavily discounted compared to my usual bespoke orders, so claim her whilst you can!
If you're living in the UK, even a lower income means you're one of the wealthiest people on the planet. Even if you work full time on (the UK) minimum wage, you're in roughly the top 4% of global earners. I know, it definitely doesn't feel like it.

When we spend money on sites like Temu or Shein, that money doesn't go to the workers making the clothes. It goes to a handful of billionaire owners and they don't need more unearned money. 

But there are simple things you can do, if that feels like something that doesn't sit right with you. 

Choosing a local maker, a small business, or even a second-hand piece keeps money circulating in real communities, going directly to the person who made it. It means sometimes being more selective about what you buy. Like buy fewer clothes, for example, but choosing things that are better quality and more likely to last anyway.

When life feels so hectic and stressful, it's hard to give any thought to things like this, but every little thought that leads to action is a change that makes a difference.

What are some changes you've been making to try and combat this capitalist hellscape?
