The Wedding Show season is back!

Hello!

February is definitely the beginning of the wedding calendar here in the UK, and especially in London. Last week, the UK Wedding Show took place at the ExCel Centre and we were there to see and tell you everything about it. But we’ll come back to that a little later.

This week, the most luxurious wedding fair, the Designer Wedding Show is happening right up town, in Sloane Square, Battersea Park to be more precise, and Hudson’s has a stand there, promoting the new edition of the Dream Weddings book.

We were there first hand yesterday and it’s absolutely bride-paradise! New trends, gorgeous dresses, lovely satin shoes, the most beautiful tiaras and jewllery sets. Not to mention tons of choices for oh-so-delicious cakes (we tried some!), honeymoon destinations, stationery, flowers and decorations. All at the utmost elegance you deserve!

The Designer Wedding Show is also taking place today and tomorrow, from 10am to 5pm, so you still have a chance to check it out. You can book tickets here or buy them at the venue. And there’s also a complimentary bus taking visitors from the the Sloane Square Hotel (right next to the tube station) to the show venue, every ten minutes.

You won’t miss this right?

The perfect wedding dress calls for the perfect bridal shoes

Although beauty and elegance count, the golden rule for bridal shoes really is comfort. Especially if you’re having the ceremony + reception + party combo, you DON’T want to be stuck with killer heels (and I mean it literally, not in a good way).

So, more than ever you should respect you style and instincts.  Some tips: stilettos are a definite no, for the reasons we just covered; wedges, on the other hand, are very comfortable but unlikely to look good with a wedding gown, no matter the style. Keep it simple: medium-sized heels, thick and square shaped should do the trick. And do wear them inside your house for some weeks before your big day, as you’ll get accustomed to them, making it harder for unpleasant surprises to happen.

Bellissima, Elegant Steps, Gina,and The Accessory Boutique offer bridal shoes for all different styles from ballet pumps to crystal sandals. Girls of Elegance has a great selection of budget shoes, so it’s worth a visit.
