Bride on a "Budget"

{pc: fifilapin}

No need for this *sigh* but it's comforting to know that one can wear Temperley London on The Big Day for under 800quid.  That may not sound cheap, but retail is over GBP1800 (which in shoptoomuch-speak means no more cash for the shoes... or anything really...)  

I've actually noticed a good number of wedding gowns popping up over Facebook albums with the same dramatic one-shoulder detail.  Whilst whimsical and very Academy Awards Red Carpet 2010, I'm quite sure they cost a pretty penny more than this original.  Plus, if you're into reselling the gown, you're likely to get more for a Temperley, no? 

For the aspiring designer brides, Net-A-Porter's end of season sales are also good hunting grounds for a discount gown. D&G's naughty, My Fair Lady ascot gown is now marked down to just under GBP600. Not that there's anything remotely bizarre about looking to a bunny for fashion inspiration, but Fifi Lapin's got this one on for Christmas Day - how fab!  Now, we'll just pretend Miley hasn't already worn it... just think of it as the reason for the dress' depreciation :)
