We have used Paypal as our checkout for a few years and it has been o.k but as the site gets busier some people have been experiencing problems with checkout and I don’t want unhappy customers!

So very soon you will be able to pay using your credit or debit card direct…although you will still have the Paypal option for those that find it easier. Please bear with us whilst we make these changes it may mean the site is down occasionally but it will be all worth it!

However, it has diffused into two different versions of itself: firstly, the boho vintage look as worn by Kate Moss at her wedding – all soft focus lace, pastel colours and relaxed styling, and secondly, the glamorous vintage Hollywood look, channelling such stars as Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor, but adding a modern edge to bring it right up to date.

It’s this grown up glam look that is the star of our feature today. It is easy to achieve, timelessly beautiful and classic; you can add just a touch, or go for full-on star quality.

Audrey Hepburn famously wore a multi-row pearl necklace in her best known film ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’. Get the look with a beautiful pearl choker. Wear it high on the neckline with your hair up, or as a longer length necklace to fill a bare décolletage on a lower cut gown.

Audrey accessorised with a small tiara at front centre of her updo; you could add a more contemporary look with a side tiara or even a sparkling hair clip just above the base of your neck to add interest for guests watching the back of your head during the ceremony.

Elizabeth Taylor was probably better known for her jewellery than anything else (apart from her acting or her many husbands, of course). She favoured diamonds which is great if you can afford them…or have lots of men to buy them for you, but for those of us with just one husband-to-be, crystal or diamante are great alternatives.

Choose a statement necklace and wear it with matching earrings for a classic silver screen goddess look. This is probably best teamed with a slinky fitted gown – a huge dress teamed with big jewellery can look a bit 1980’s, which isn’t the vintage era we are aiming for here!

For a more subtle and modern version of this style, forget the necklace and invest in a fabulous pair of chandelier or drop earrings. This is a great way to add sparkle for brides that don’t feel comfortable with a complete set of jewellery, and prefer to concentrate on one piece.

If you don’t feel you’d be happy wearing large earrings on your big day, then drop subtle hints for a gift of a pair of diamond studs and team these with a beautiful eye catching bracelet. This adds interest to the centre area of your gown, especially whilst walking up the aisle carrying your bouquet, and can be more comfortable to wear than a heavy necklace.

Just remember, as the bride, you are the leading lady of the day, and you will look more beautiful than any starlet in whatever style of jewellery you choose to wear.

Sorry couldn’t resist

Picking the perfect shoes for any occasion can be hard work but when it comes to choosing your  wedding shoes it can be an overwhelming task, there are so many styles available that knowing where to start can be impossible.

Of course you want the ultimate pair of glam shoes but comfort (yes, boring I know) should also be a consideration. Styles such as this traditional open toe design (above) are popular as they not only look good but the heel is low enough to still be comfortable to wear. If you just read that and thought ‘pah…I live in stilletoes’ then perhaps a strappy pair like this would be more your cup of tea?

Keeping on the skyscraper theme then why not add a touch of bling? Perhaps you have a simple sheath wedding dress but want that touch of sparkle just peeping out? Shoes are the ideal way to indulge your diamante loving side without coming over all ‘big fat gypsy wedding’  These beautiful heels are embellished with crystal…and are not for the faint hearted or those afraid of heights…

If just the thought of sliding your poor tootsies into a pair of those torture devices brings you out in a sweat then perhaps these flatties will be more your style? Comfy yet still glam they would look lovely with a tea dress length gown or hidden under a long length gown for the taller bride who doesn’t want to tower over her groom.

You could also follow the new trend of having two different wedding dresses (and therefore pairs of shoes) on your big day. Perhaps you want the comfort of flatties during the day and then change into your high heels for the evening party? Or the other way round…stilletoes for the service and photographs (especially if you have a tall groom!) and then dance the night away in a pair of satin ballet pumps.

Take your time choosing and make sure whichever pair (or pairs) of wedding shoes you choose that you give them a good trial before the wedding day, you don’t want to ruin your day by being in pain from too tight shoes. And finally for peace of mind and comfort of foot make sure your bridesmaids are carrying a supply of plasters and gel inserts just in case!
