Weddings are a mile stone in people’s lives. It is that special moment in time when the union of two people, very much in love I might add, formally and officially takes place and thereby initiates the birth of new bonds and ties between families once separate known as two.
Weddings are wonderful. They play hosts to a colourful spectrum of emotions as you’ll find some people cry at them, some others toast (endless glasses at that) to the merriment, while others such as me become inspired, bewildered and left in awe by the fashions on parade.
Yes, weddings, they aren’t just about the union, they are also about the dresses! People will really invest in the clothes they wear to a wedding but the pinnacle of the event and the largest investment of the event is most certainly ‘what the bride wore’.
Now if you’re a blushing bride to be, or simply an admirer of beautiful gowns (of haute couture), then you will want to look at the following
Vert pieces by Jessica Iverson because they aren’t just ravishing and stunningly beautiful, they are also stunningly green! No, don’t worry, I didn’t mean green in a literal sense but instead merely in an environmentally friendly sense.
