What is Katie Doing With That Cushion?

One of my friends' (known on here as Luxy_) is getting married this month and I have the honour of being one of her bridesmaids. As the other bridesmaid, Katie, is pregnant it was pretty awkward choosing dresses so we had to find somewhere that either did maternity bridesmaids wear or altered dresses to fit.

A few weeks before Christmas after going to two other shops in Kingston we had an appointment with Love Me Do Brides.

Unlike in the other shops we had the entire basement floor to ourselves so we had a rummage through the dress rail to find dresses to try on with the help of Lisa.

Not knowing how the dresses would look with a bump Lisa came up with a plan of shoving a cushion up the front of the dresses Katie tried on to see how they would look. And more importantly to check for corsets that dug into the stomach.

After an hour of trying on dresses we finally found a dress style that suited both of us and would allow room for a bump with comfort.

Then we noticed that the shop sold wedding shoes so we had a look at them to find a pair that would suit the bride-to-be and where the right colour. After finding 2 suitable pairs in white and ivory, and not knowing what colour the dress was, the mother of the bride was telephoned and consulted. The ivory pair were then purchased.

Before we left the shop Luxy_ asked for advice on a veil she was borrowing from Katie. She was told to bring it in to see how it was suppose to be put on. She also asked if Lisa was ever tempted to try the wedding dresses on..........

Katie and I went back yesterday to have our dresses altered. Luckily for us March is not prime wedding season so we could have our dresses altered really late by Tatiyana. The shop has a list of dress alterers and any other service you would need for the day.

So if you want a bit of space and fun while choosing either your bridesmaids outfit, want a bridal dress, want clothes for the groom, hen night accessories or  wedding accessories then have a look at Love Me Do Brides.

And if you want to know if Lisa has tried on the dresses then you are just going to have to ask her yourself.
