A Late Summer Wedding

Late summer is the perfect time for a wedding – you can *usually* count on the British weather to be on your side and at least be sunny! We got married at the end of August thirteen years ago, it was a lovely sunny weekend. Good frineds of ours just got married the other week, the day after our anniversary in fact. After a week of rain we were all a little worried, but in the end the sun shone.

At home all day with four kiddos, I don’t have much reason to get dressed up very often. A wedding is a good excuse to buy a new dress and pop on a pair of heels. I’m terribly indecisive when it comes to picking new clothes, but after a very long browse through the gorgeous dresses at Fat Face I finally pick this maxi dress. I did take some lovely outfit photos, then my memory card had an incident with the baby and some drool and are no more! I’d planned on reshooting them this weekend, then managed to burn my hand on Sunday and spent the day feeling sorry for myself! So here {for now} is a little style board of what I wore – I’m hoping to grab a sunny afternoon soon and get dressed up again!

Shoes – Clarks
Shawl – Carolina K
Flower Crown – Modcloth
Bag – Modcloth

I love a maxi dress for summer, light and flowy it’s perfect for the weather here, looks fab dressed up and also great with flip flops for casual. A good pair of sandals, a flower crown and a shawl complete the outfit – and you can’t forget a bag for your essentials!
