So I am completely rubbish at hair, always have been and I suspect always will be.
Which is really annoying because I have these great ideas, spend hours in rollers followed by curling tongs and then followed by enough hairspray that I now have my own hole in the ozone layer. And I end up with a nest of sticky frizzy hair that I brush out and tie back. Really annoying.

If there's one thing we like here at Bride and Chic it's the personal touch. If there's another thing we like here at Bride and Chic it's Christmas, lucky for us we've found a way to combine the two!
Personalised signage has become the staple of the couple who want to give their wedding an individual touch, and for those of you who are in the first flush of "I've got a brand new name!" fever, here's a way to get into the Xmas spirit and showcase your brand new moniker....

There are not many occasions when I am quite literally stopped in my tracks by a photo but they are normally when I spot a gown so beautiful that I could eat it....

One of the biggest changes to wedding traditions over the years (apart from the demise of the bouquet throw..RIP) is the wedding fruit cake. Over the past few years couples have been steadily moving away from the traditional tiered cake and looking for other options to take its important place, the main reason I think is because people were starting to see it as a bit of a waste of money which could be better used elsewhere.

We like random here at Bride&Chic and occasionally will just post about something that catches our eye for no other reason than that. Of course it will normally be wedding related and this particular piece is very much wedding related, that is the new fragrance by Lanvin appropriately named “Marry Me!”

Hooray, our first real wedding and it’s an extra special one for me as it features one of my all-time favourite dresses Charlotte Balbier’s Tabitha (or more commonly known as my “if-I-was-getting-married-in-a-marquee-or-country-house-dress”). Apologies in advance for the gratuitous dress shots!

To gift or not to gift, that is the question…
Now, up until about 2 months before my wedding I was adamant that we were not going to have a gift list, we didn’t need anything and it seemed like a really self-indulgent thing to do. But then when people started asking me where the list was and I replied that we weren’t having one, you’d think instead that I’d just said “Gift list? No, I’d rather drown kittens”. Shock, horror, gasp!
“You can’t not have a list, what the hell will we buy you??”,
“You don’t have to buy us anything”,
“No way, we can’t come to a wedding without a gift”.

Now there are some things that we will feature here on brideandchic that are what we would describe as chicworthy in that they offer something that everyone loves but with a bit of a twist....

If Money Were No Object..
…I’d be sat here as a Vera Wang bride.
I honestly don’t think I’ve seen a dress of hers that I don’t like and I would quite happily divorce and remarry for the chance to wear one, I’m actually tempted to pop into Selfridges sans wedding ring to have a little try on.
My favourite is Eliza.. No, actually its Erin.. No, it’s Eva... Here is Fall 2010…one, two, three… le sigh…

The old bridesmaid dress debate, high street vs bridal is always a tricky one.
Go high street and save a good few pennies but risk one of your guests turning up in the same dress or go down the traditional bridesmaid dress route and risk buying something your girls will probably never wear again. Hmmm…
I can see both sides of the argument and so seeing as were good like that we’ll work on regular updates on what is new on the high street but also blog on anything B&C worthy on the bridal fashion network. The bridemaid dress industry has come on leaps and bounds even in the past couple of years offering new more fashion focussed designs that even the most fashionista of bridesmaids would be happy to rock.
So here goes, I’ve started with some nude/ blush/ naturals from the High Street simply because I am a fan of the neutral bridesmaid and so it seemed like a good place to start! Throw in a few metallic accessories and you’re on to a winner, lucky bridesmaids….
