Vintage style is huge right now and looks great under the sun. Just think of all those cute pin up girl images you see: They lounge on the beach with a cocktail in their hand and a flower pinned up in their flowing curls. Gorgeous! It’s not difficult to channel this look for your own style.

For looking cute on the beach, you need a perfect pin up swimsuit. This blue gingham bikini is £29.00 from Dolly Dagger and is just adorable. With a frilly skirted detail to the bottoms that matches the frill on the cups, you will look cute as a button. The cherry motif on the bikini bottoms add a lovely little touch whilst the string ties give a modern cheekiness. Ideal to make a splash on the beach!

To all you girls with more than a handful in the chest department, it can be tricky to find clothes that fit perfectly. Ordinary, everyday clothes are bad enough- but what about when it comes to your honeymoon? Fear not, my voluptuous friends, there are dozens of fantastic websites out there just made for us lot with beach balls, rather than melons. Bravissimo is one of my favourites (Fig Leaves is also fantastic but is currently under maintenance). Here are just a few of my favourite finds.

This fantastic fashion filled festival is not just great for getting inspiration for your wedding day. Look past those short few hours to the honeymoon: What are you packing in your case? If your holiday wardrobe is more shabby than chic, take a look at these Spring Summer collections for great choices to pack no matter where the destination.
Danielle Scutt has a range of adorable suits and swimwear in pretty pastel shades that are perfect for a balmy Meditteranean destination. Wear a two piece skirt suit for trips around the cities, then strip down to a matching swimsuit for the beach. How cute! This lovely swimsuit is a gorgeous pink and white patterned piece. The print is very sixties inspired- something that is slowly creeping in on fashion shows both sides of the Atlantic. The skirted style is also vintage inspired and very pretty. If that wasn’t good enough, the skirt is hugely flattering as it covers the thighs- perfect for hiding imperfections. Plus the interesting strap detail is supportive for busts of all sizes. I’m not sure about the hairdo though- not least because the water would destroy it.

Here at Wedding Fashion Police we understand that much consideration, planning, and sometimes even dieting goes into choosing the perfect wedding dress. And rightfully so, the wedding dress is more than just a garment, it is an institution! How many young girls (…and not so young girls) spend countless hours daydreaming of their stroll down the aisle? Practically all of them. An episode of the hit sitcom Friends even went so far as to portray Monica as having built a binder with several different “scenarios” to accommodate her budget possibilities. This obsession is not too far from reality.
However, how much planning goes into what you wear the morning after your wedding? Sure some of you may be planning to spend most of your honeymoon in nothing more than a bikini or some lingerie but eventually you will need to cover up.
Picture this: You are rushed onto a plane mere moments after your wedding, only after you are forced to go through the rigorous security checks at the airport (like you could or even would hide a bomb in Manolo Blahnik! Don´t they know how much they cost?). You sit on a plane and await your arrival to your Honeymoon destination, you catch a cab to your hotel, you check in; by now most of your day has been spent en route to your destination and you are absolutely exhausted from traveling. What is the one thing you most likely cannot wait to do that doesn’t involve your new hubby? Wouldn’t you just love to draw a bath and pamper yourself with a Relaxation Spa kit, and after that cuddle up next to your husband in your new luxury fleece monogrammed his/hers bathrobes?
It’s these little creature comforts that help us to take the edge off after years of preparation and anticipation.
