…..for a start we had gloriously sunny weather! I can't help thinking that William and Kate must be thinking how glad they are that they chose 2011 for their wedding!
What were you doing this time last year? Were you celebrating with a street party or did you brave the crowds to see the happy couple in the flesh?
To celebrate the anniversary of the Royal Wedding and their own 70th Anniversary, Oxfam are launching a very special online wedding auction, in conjunction with the new Oxfam Weddings Ambassador Annabel Beeforth of Love My Dress and are offering future brides and grooms the chance to bid on some incredible items for a fraction of the normal retail price. The cream of the UK wedding industry have donated some amazing items including some very exclusive items that money normally cannot buy!
For example, how would you like to choose your own Charlotte Balbier dress after an in-depth one-to-one consultation with Charlotte Balbier herself where you'll get to work with Charlotte to decide which of her dresses is "the one"! You'll also be treated to cupcakes and tea all day, a make-up lesson from a celebrity make-up artist, accessories to match your gown, a luxury goody bag and a vintage-style afternoon tea to finish the day off in style!
or
What about a private consultation with leading designer, Ian Stuart, in his London showroom. He will help you choose the perfect style for your big day and you will then be able to pick from ANY dress from his Killer Queen collection!
There are also dresses from Jenny Packham, Claire Pettibone (via Blackburn Bridal), Sassi Holford & Sabina Motasem to name but a few.
Bridesmaids dresses from Maids to Measure, Two Birds and Royal flower girl dress designer herself Nicki MacFarlane. Shoes from Emmy, Aruna Seth, Rachel Simpson and Harriet Wilde….and the list goes on…and on….and on!In fact you could get pretty much everything you need for your big day from groom wear to honeymoon with everything in-between!There is even an engagement shoot with styling from KS favourite photographer the amazing Kat Hill who shot our Bright Young Things Collection photoshoot.
We were also delighted to be able to donate two pieces from the BYT collection to this amazing cause. You could be the lucky winner of our Darcy freshwater and Swarovski crystal comb or our Fifi silk face veil.
Head on over to the Oxfam Wedding Auction page or Love My Dress to see all of the amazing items on offer.
Happy bidding!..and don't forget all proceeds go to charity so please bid generously!
