The Designer Wedding Show in London and The Dress

February 17, 2009

Linda Fripp Cake DesignsI spent this past week-end in London, and visited The Designer Wedding Show at Battersea Park. I had heard that this show was the epitome of London wedding chic- turns out that was a complete understatement! Besides getting to see some of the hottest wedding vendors in the UK, like the edible masterpieces from Linda Fripp Cake Designs, and the fit-for-a-queen bouquets from Mary Jane Vaughan Floristry, I also almost got to see The Dress: Carrie’s stunningly over-the-top Vivienne Westwood wedding dress from Sex and The City. I say “almost” because the actual dress worn in the film is apparently on tour somewhere in Asia- the one shown this weekend was a smaller (but just as fabulous) version of the one sported by Ms. Bradshaw. Needless to say, it was one of the highlights of my week-end!

Oh, man- this post is going to come back to haunt me :) Precious at precious nuptials & destinations tagged me for this new “embarrassing song” game. I’m to share 5 songs that I’m embarrassed to admit to others that I like and tell why. Then I have to bring 7 more sucka’s down with me. Sounds like fun- here goes:

  1. Jenny from the Block by J.Lo: I heard this song over the weekend in a store and couldn’t stop singing it! It’s contagious.
  2. The Rose by Bette Midler: I swear, the louder you sing it, the better you sound. Go ahead and try it.
  3. La Boulette by Diam’s: Diam’s is sort of a French Missy Elliott. I have no idea what she’s singing about, but it sure is catchy.
  4. Brick House by the Commodores: This song reminds me of tearing up “kiddie night” at the roller rink in my Sergio Valente’s and leg warmers.
  5. Independent Woman (Charlie’s Angels) by Destiny’s Child: Who doesn’t like this song???? “Question?

OK, I don’t know 7 people who haven’t been tagged yet, so I’m tagging 5. Spill it, ladies! Glamour This Polka Dot Bride Erin Gilmore Photography LVWedding Concierge and Perfect Settings
