Fashion Friday: That's a Wrap!

We've got all wrapped up with today's Fashion Friday - and we don't just mean figuratively!

Today we were inspired by this gorgeous wrap dress from House of Fraser. But instead of accessorising it the way we normally would - we thought we'd show two ways to wear this look: dressed down (left) and dressed up (right). This shows just how versatile this look could be, whether you're headed for a daytime wedding with afternoon tea, or an evening candlelit soiree.

For all our Fashion Friday posts visit our Pinterest page or follow us on Polyvore.

Dress: House of Fraser, £29
Sandals: 2B, £15
Pumps: Whistles, £115
Clutch (left): Aldo, £21
Clutch (right): Jimmy Choo, £880

This spring or summer ensemble will be perfect for your next wedding.

Fashion Friday: Feeling festive!

Here at West Weddings Towers we can't resist the urge to start getting a little Christmas-y (even if it's not quite December!). So, with a not-so-subtle nod to the season, we put together the following ensemble featuring a bright statement red accentuated with black and gold - perfect for going from an afternoon wedding to an evening reception. It's a look that holds its own even without the heels, too, so feel free to dress down or up!

(Want to make these yourself? Check out Polyvore and make sure you follow West Weddings. We'd love to feature some sets from our readers in the upcoming weeks!)
Feeling festive!

Fashion Friday: Plum & Nude

If you're headed to a wedding this weekend, we've put together this wintry, but festive, ensemble to inspire your wardrobe searching. We began with this short dress in a floral and striped pattern, and then picked understated nudes and golds to accentuate it (with the exception of the splash of colour in the nail varnish). It may be more difficult to find just the right colours to wear to a wedding at this time of year, but dusky pinks and jewel tones make for great, seasonal pops of brightness.

Let us know what you think via the comments or on Twitter (@WestWeddings). If you'd like to share sets of your own, connect with us via our Polyvore account, and we may feature your ensembles on future Fridays.

Something Blue

Confession: I am slowly becoming a nail polish addict. Throughout my life I've always gone through phases of being obsessed with one category of accessories: first it was rings, then it was earrings, then it was necklaces. I think my new obsession with nail polish is simply my latest accessory phase, and I am not complaining!

In my ongoing hunt for new colours to try, I have noticed the growing trend of pastel nail polishes. Of the pastels, my recent favourite colour has been pale blue. Not only is this colour bang on-trend at the moment, but it would perfectly suit many bridal looks.


The brand/colour I bought was BarryM's Blue Moon (£3.85 on Amazon). It's beautiful and pale, cooler than 'periwinkle blue' but warmer than 'ice blue'. I bought BarryM because it happened to be the brand I stumbled across and I loved the colour. But I've been inspired by a few other brands who do a gorgeous pale blue, such as Essie's Borrowed Blue and Oscar De La Renta's Larimar.

Please excuse the less-than-professional manicure.
When you wear nail polish as often I do, DIY is the only way to go!
