So it’s wedding season again and you’re looking for a sassy and sophisticated gown to impress your fellow wedding guests without upstaging the bride! Maybe you have an upcoming debs or you’re a bride trying to find the perfect bridesmaids dresses and you don’t know where to start? Well I’ve done all the hard work for you here, so read on to find out where to buy the most glamorous gowns at an affordable price:
Folkster Gowns
One of my favourite independent brands at the moment is Folkster (Eustace St, Dublin 2), http://www.folkster.com. They stock a wide range of beautiful, vintage style clothing so you are certain to find something unique to make you stand out from the crowd. Their beautifully tailored evening gowns are absolutely stunning and come in a variety of vibrant colours including teal, red, black and navy. I tried on the gorgeous floor length red Petra gown with a plunging neckline, intricate open back detail and pleated fishtail for only €149. I felt like a goddess wearing this and it’s the perfect little number to wear to a debs or any red carpet event!
Formal Wear at Coast
When a wedding invitation arrives in the post, the first thing most women think is, “What will I wear?” I have always been a big fan of Coast http://www.coast-stores.com as they are the ‘go to’ retail outlet when it comes to formal wear. They have a huge variety of wedding guest ‘day outfits’ and more formal evening gowns as well as the perfect accessories to accompany them. The stunning bia sequin jersey prom maxi dress in black is only €140. When you find the perfect gown, you have to wear the perfect shoes and I chose these gorgeous rose gold strappy open toe heels with diamante stud detail for €79.
Wedding Guest Outfits
Finding a wedding guest outfit that can take you from the church ceremony right through to the last dance at the afters can be a challenge. I tried on this Waldorf printed maxi dress in blush with a giant floral print for €195 – good price for a gown you’ll wear more than once! It just goes to show there’s something for every woman and every occasion at Coast.
