Affordable Vera

Thursday, February 23rd, 2012

Well I’m just back from my trip home to Los Angeles. It was a real family visit and although I did have some bride meetings, I really didn’t do much wedding related things, unfortunately.

What I did do was pick up some American wedding magazines. I always love flipping through wedding magazines from other countries and pick them up whenever I travel abroad. Because of that I should have some fun new posts for you with hopefully a few different fun and creative things.

This first post on my return isn’t exactly on anything new as it stars Vera Wang. But what I do want to do with this post is show you, Irish brides, the very affordable Vera Wang gowns you can get from David’s bridal in America because yes, they do ship to Ireland.

I’ll tell you the cost in dollars and convert it into Euro at the current rate but keep in mind that there will be tax, postage and probably customs {unless you are sneaky – but keep in mind that I don’t condone evading customs — ahem} but they are all under the Irish national average on wedding gown spends.

Ready?

There are other colors in this lovely and it’s only $1,248.00 = about €950

Super gorgeous and reduced to $1148.00 = about €890.00

Romantic and only $1498.00 = €1,130.00

So pretty in Pink and discounted to $848.00 which = about €640.00!

See the full Vera Wang White collection at David’s Bridal here

And how about your maids?? More pretty pretty Vera for them too and all are under $200.00 = €150.00!

Love.

White By Vera Wang

Vera Wang White collection with David’s Bridal is out!

The announcement was last April and I have to say I was skeptical. It’s Vera Wang! – and David’s Bridal? But of course the gowns are beautiful. They aren’t cheap. Don’t think that just because David’s bridal is your basic wedding gown chain store that these are going to be cheap. They have the same luxe fabrics and and hand cut detail and priced from $600 to the $1400 mark. We now don’t have to be afraid to even walk into the store.  You know the ole ‘if you have to ask you can’t afford it’ is over.

This puts Vera in the range of a normal bride. Beautiful but affordable.

Here they are available from 11th February. Tell me what you think!!

There are definitely one or two in there I would choose. What about you??

Have a look in more detail here.

Wedding Dress Finder

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

Yesterday I told you that I have met some great likeminded wedding suppliers and today I am going to tell you about Lynn Crean. She is fabulous, has a really wonderful happy energy and I love her business!

Lynn is a Wedding Dress finder. She is Irish but based in London and knows the London Bridal Boutiques – very well! Girls, if you are heading over to London to shop for dresses, contact Lynn. She will save you time, money and make sure that dress fits you, your budget and your style. The mantra of her business is Fit, Budget, and Time (FBT). She helps brides search for beautifully fitted dresses within budget, in a timely manner.

And what I love about her is her business philosophy. Lynn said to me “It is all about cherishing the bride, making her special wedding time just that – special, indulgent, beautiful and luxurious.”

With her Gorgeous  Bride Consultation, Lynn will listen to you take on-board all the details of your wedding and for an hour and a half you will relax in sumptuous surroundings, focusing on styles, shapes and all things beautiful. She will then provide you with constructive style suggestions as well as boutique details to make finding your dress as stress free as possible.

The Fantastic Bride gets even more personal attention from Lynn as you will have your consultation, then she will personally arrange your appointments for you. Prior to your appointments she will meet the relevant boutique consultant to discuss your requirements in more detail and then accompany you and your support team to those appointments and work with you and the consultant to find your perfect dress!

Sounds like pure luxury to me and I know Lynn is passionate about what she does. Here is what one of her brides said “She explained all the different styles of wedding dress and which ones would suit me more than others. She even showed me different fabrics, advised me about shoes, accessories, my Mum’s outfit, what dress styles my bridesmaids should wear and even my fiancé’s suit! Now I know exactly what to look for!”

Fabulousness in London! Go to her website here.

PS Gowns shown are by Christos!
