Off the shoulder? On the shoulder? Off the shoulder? On the shoulder?

Our Made With Love Lottie Flowy is bombshell either way 🔥🔥🔥

How ever you decide to wear the neckline, this dress has so much potential for personalisation and she is ready for you to make her your own. Size 14/16. Slim fit. BNWT. 🤎

Some lovely client feedback warming my heart today. It genuinely is such a joy to watch someone find the dress for them 🤎

Channelling Solange vibes today and thinking about saying *no* to the dress in the most stylish way possible.

Suits ~ whether that be a trouser suit; a skirt suit; or a jumpsuit ~ are an incredible choice. Not only for making your own stylish mark on your wedding day, but they have got to be one of the best options if you want to wear your investment again. They offer flexibility and creativity for your wedding day; giving you greater opportunity to create a genuinely individual look that is true to you and also making it easier to find a silhouette that flatters your figure. Plus, there is much more scope to rewear your outfit after your day is over. Yes, please & thank you!

I'm wholeheartedly on the suits bandwagon & am currently on the hunt for some fabulous suits to add to the collection. Did you ~ or would you ~ wear a suit on your day? 🤎

Did you hear? Apparently, the Royals have been visiting. I have to admit that I've missed most of the fuss, but it's only been 48 hours. Surely the shortest 'tour' in history?!

I'm not much of a Royal watcher ordinarily, but the fashion stakes are seriously high. When it comes to a royal wedding or formal event, the fashion choices not only set global trends for years to come, but they also weave together powerful narratives about tradition, culture, and identity. High profile designers at the pinnacle of their careers are chosen to underpin the symbolism and the carefully crafted messages each bride wishes to convey. So much pressure!

So with all this in mind, I have been thinking about my favourite of the royal wedding gowns, and there is simply no contest here. The gown Princess Beatrice wore when she married Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in 2020 is hands down my favourite of the high-profile wedding gowns we have seen so far. And I promise you that it's simply because of aesthetics 🤔 I absolutely adored the gorgeously sentimental vintage gown in all its taffeta encrusted with diamante glory; it's square neckline; it's fashion forward puff sleeve; and the fact there was no train(and only her shoes) in sight!

Yes, OK, there are other reasons to love her outfit;
👗 Her gown and tiara were borrowed from her grandmother, the Queen;
👠 She wore shoes she already owned and had worn to someone else's wedding;
👄 She did her own hair and makeup; and
🎊 Due to Covid restrictions at the time, they were content with an incredibly low-key wedding with only 20 guests.

So yes, it's probably the most on-brand royal wedding dress I could find, but I'm sticking to my story that it's my most favourite simply because it's gorgeous 😍

Have you got a favourite famous dress?

Marvelling at the detail on the Madi Lane Bronte today ✨️. This incredibly romantic A-line dress with sweetheart neckline is embellished with delicate lace embroidery and small sequins adding a subtle shimmer. The full skirt is comprised of three layers of tulle, with a soft latte lining. An off-the-shoulder sleeve adds to the elegance of this beautiful dress. See our stories for more detail 🤩

Our Madi Lane Bronte is a size 18, worn once in excellent condition. 🤎

We all have a pretty good idea about what looks good on us; what we like; what we don't like; what our style is, and so on. I dont doubt that, and I dont doubt that some girls have had one style of *dream* dress on their mind for, well, decades. But you know that lovely feeling of surprise and delight when you put on something you really didn't expect to like, and it looks amazing on you? You feel so good; you smile and laugh at your surprise; you get a little confidence boost, you walk out of the change room that little bit taller and brighter. ✨️

I can tell you that that little bit of magic happens 10-fold when someone puts on a wedding dress that they didn't expect to love. The astonishment and delight ~ in equal measures ~ suddenly changes everything. Faces are shining brightly; there might be a few (joyful) tears and excited laughter, and its almost like they cant believe the image in the mirror is actually them. It's pure gold to watch. I can't promise you that kind of magic; but having seen it happen many times, I would absolutely encourage you to approach your dress fitting appointments with an open mind and an open heart. Kind of like when you fell in love with the complete opposite of the person you thought you would end up with 🤎

Oh, and you may wish to bring supportive underwear and/or supportive loved ones, but they are by no means essential. 😆

Recognise this dress? It's on our profile pic and was the first ever dress in our collection. The Alex Perry Joia Plunge Dress. When we acquired it, it had been worn for an hour or so for a first dance. A stunning dress in pristine condition 👗

We said goodbye to this dress recently ~ and as much as we loved it ~ what an absolute delight it was. It went to the most lovely person who adored it as much as we did; has plans to make it part of her double wedding celebrations; as well as wearing it again for events in the future. That 👆 is exactly the reason we are doing this. Beautiful dresses, beautiful girls, saving $$$ and being kind to the planet 🌏 Makes my heart happy 🤎

✨️ LOVESHACKFANCY ✨️

Even just the name makes you smile. New York City based designer Loveshackfancy has created this ethereal dress that completely epitomises summer ☀️. Broderie anglaise and organza combine in this lightweight, delicate dress with a gorgeous tiered skirt and bow detail. An entirely unique gown that would be as suitable in a vineyard as it would on a beach.

Our gown is a US10/AU14. Perfect condition and oh so pretty 🤎

Do you remember this new arrival that I teased you with last week? The dress that got so many lovely comments? The dress that I hadn't even had the opportunity to photograph properly before we packed for Canberra?

Well, it didn't come home with us on Sunday. It was snapped up on the spot at the Wedding Expo by someone with excellent taste and who will look amazing in it. Less than a week on the racks here at Sunday Soiree and this glorious Marchesa Notte gown found its rightful home. I don't even have a proper full-length photo for you. Perhaps that is for the best?! 🤎

A b***d, elegantly defined bodice; the faintest hint of blush sparkle; a flouncy tulle skirt; a waistline cinched by a slim leather belt ~ Jessica Coutures Natalia has captured the elegant mix of fun and modern femininity in this dress. For grown-up girls who still love dressing up.

A gorgeous wedding dress or even an after-party dress ~ this gown, which could either sit at your ankles or just skim the floor, is such a fabulous option for anyone looking to free themselves of a train.

We love its modern femininity; we love its sparkle: we love that it is an easier colour to wear than a stark white. We will always love layers of tulle.

Jessica Couture Natalia (size 6/8) ready and waiting in perfect condition for her next beautiful bride. 🤎

''Fundamentally, we need to change the way we think about fashion. Something that was made four weeks ago does not hold more value than something that was made four years ago – they are both clothes. The difference with second-hand fashion is it has that edge that makes it cooler.”🤎

Shows presented by eBay and Oxfam are first on-schedule at fashion week to exclusively feature preloved pieces

Less than 2 weeks now until our biggest wedding event of the year. 💥

On 22 September, we will be at the Canberra Wedding Expo at the National Convention Centre, & we will be talking to hundreds of nearlyweds & their friends & family. If you have an outfit that you are thinking of selling but have been putting it off, now is an excellent time to get in touch. It could be a wedding gown; a reception dress; a bridesmaids gown, a mother of the bride/groom outfit, or even something fabulous you wore to another event that may be of interest. I can't tell you how much of a difference it makes to their reaction when potential buyers are able to see the gowns in person.

Send us a DM or give us a call ~ we would be very happy to discuss selling your outfit for you. 🤎
