The Great British Wedding September 2014 | Page 22

've seen rather a lot of bridesmaids dresses over the years - as the eldest daughter of a Vicar, when you are very small an exciting Saturday afternoon excursion is to go and watch the arrival at church of the bride and her bridesmaids/flower girls! The wide ranging choices for dressing the littlest members of your bridal party (and the big members for that matter) can seem hugely overwhelming, but choosing a Tutu needn't be. Whether your wedding is going to be an incredibly traditional religious ceremony or something a little more outlandish and out of the ordinary, chances are there is a Tutu out there (or somewhere within the depths of your imagination) that will fit perfectly with your chosen theme.

If traditional or classic is your style, then choosing to put your little maids in either of my Taffeta Princess or British Belle styles offers a wonderful balance of pretty fluffy tulle coupled with the elegance of a taffeta overdress, all the finer details of which can be chosen and customised by you. If quirky or over the top is more your cup of

tea however, opting for the Pomander Fairy or a full length Tutu teamed with a Princess Streamers Bustle may be the way to go – both of these styles offer incredible amounts of wondrously fluffy tulle and most definitely appeal to the inner princess of any bridesmaid or flower girl! Absolutely everything from Mrs W Tutus is handmade by myself and as well as existing designs, I am always excited to create something totally unique based on your own idea.

Tutus are a great choice if you are choosing a rustic theme for your wedding – a knee length Tutu skirt teamed with a simple leotard are an excellent alternative to a potentially more traditional dress.......add a matching tulle crown and wand and you have a great way of expressing the individuality of both the bride and the young lady wearing it! Once the wedding day is over, all these things make lovely additions to any little princesses dressing up box and can continue to be worn for many years to come!
