I know it's dull to keep jabbering about your own wedding (I know because every time I hang out with my girlfriends it's the only thing they want to talk about) -- BUT a wedding is inherently self-indulgent and I need to vent a little anxiety over the distinct lack of a dress!

There’s about 4 months to the wedding which to me seems far too long to wait- but in wedding world is as scandalous as having a nuns and vicars theme at your wedding and asking all your wedding guests to bring their own food and drink.

The theory behind that being that I'd rather not look like some 9 year old girl threw up her duvet on me. Case in point:

Despite this crucial revelation I don't seem closer to finding the ‘dream’ dress - apparently I am supposed to have seen the whole wedding play out beautifully in my dreams and have the entire thing sorted out by now.

Never fear- recent inspiration was found in the form of live accessories for the modern bride such as:

For the moment my wedding muse is the dangerously addictive style.com which will have you clicking through catwalk shows like a coked up fashionista well into the wee small hours. Check out a small lookbook I just made here
bearing in mind few of these dresses are either white or affordable. It appears I rather like ruffles though and I think it’s very important to avoid taking yourself too seriously on your wedding day, which brings me to wondering if I could pull this off:
