Stunning Vintage Hats & Fascinators Under £40: Marks & Spencer

Looking for a fabulous vintage hat or fascinator that doesn't break the bank? If so, you NEED to head to Marks & Spencer right here, right now to check out their unbelievably jaw dropping collection.

If you're going to a wedding either as the bride, bridesmaid, mother of the bride or guest and want (like me) to embrace the vintage vibe with a hat or fascinator with vava voom,  then you're going to love what I have to share with you.

I love them for their underwear and their scrummy food. I'm not, though, a regular to their accessories section and so was literally overwhelmed to spot some stunning collections in store yesterday - so much so that I couldn't wait to scream back to the office to tell you all about them.

So, less talk more visual girls. Here are just some of my favourites....






























All of these come under the £40 mark and so you can look utterly fabulous and still have some pennies left to go check out their equally gorgeous handbags and accessories. Brides, look out for their jewellery - I've bought some beautiful vintage style earrings for my big day this saturday!

Sponsored Video: Net-A-Porter Wedding Shop

Today's post has been sponsored by Net-A-Porter but all thoughts, comments and views are my own.

Girls, you'll know the moment you find THE wedding dress of your childhood dreams; THE designer wedding dress, you've disappeared into your day dreams with only to be bought back to earth by the sound of the hoover; THE spectacular wedding dress you've stepped into after stepping out of 100 miserable ones. And chances are that THE wedding dress isn't actually the one you had in mind at all. Your body loving, thigh hugging fishtail dress is suddenly a distant memory as you stand, looking at yourself in a  floor sweeping, chiffon dress of fairy tale proportions. And in those first few precious moments, everyone and everything else disappears into the ether as you stare at the vision in the mirror not quite believing that the stunning princess smiling in her exquisite gown is you! It's that same feeling of sipping your first glass of fabulous champagne - you can't put into words but you know you'll never forget it!

This very intimate and personal sentiment is expressed perfectly in Net-A-Porter's new advertising campaign video and is my featured Friday video today.



Breathtaking Bridal Wear at Net-A-Porter

If you're ready to disappear into your daydreams with a wedding dress you wish you didn't ever have to take off, then take Net-A-Porter with you. This is for the discerning, luxury brand needy bride who wants only the best of the best - it's a place where designer style, fabulous fit and materials comes together.

Fabulous 1950's Wedding Video Shoot

Its Film Friday and that means a dose of fabulous bridal video inspiration. Today's video shoot of this incredible 1950's theme wedding is just out of this world. With a nod to the timeless JFK wedding with a modern twist, I love how vintage meets 21st century with its bold use of lime green and black.

As pictures speak greater volumes than words, I shall let you sit back and enjoy this amazing wedding, shot by Patrick Pierce

Enjoy and have a fabulous weekend!
