And doesn't this gorgeous photo from LA based photog's Sweet Monday Photography reinforce all the reasons why you shouldn't have to just wear white shoes with a white wedding frock? The punchy orange ties in to the vibrant bouquet and the pretty jewel detail ensures they are glam enough for a big event.
Do tell, what colour you are inspired to wear now?
'It's a bird,' insisted Carrie in the movie. And that finally confirmed quite what everyone else wondered what the blue thing was on her head during the wedding scene. Did you love the look? We prefer this blue spotted feather clip and at £19 it is no doubt a whole lot more wallet friendly than Carrie's designer (faux?) taxidermy.

Dressing for a wedding is no easy task. And we're talking guest, not bride. Black tie is relatively easy but everything else from smart/casual, day to evening is a minefield. Not to mention that no dress code at all equals no idea. In the first of an occasional series of wedding guest fashion, we're putting together a look for fashionistas who want to bring a touch of 'the bombshell' without stealing the bride's thunder.
We've started off with fabulous little dress, the black and white print will take you from day to night at a summer wedding. It's boned for shape and it's easy to accessorise. Add some playful Rock and Roll earrings and add a stylish headband that takes inspiration from the white bloom on the shoulder straps. Don't forget to add in a flash of colour with a red bag.
Dress: Vivienne of Holloway, £49.
Earrings: Accessorize, £5.
Corsage headband: Pip Hackett at Debenhams, £24.50 (sale price)
Bag: Karen Millen, £99 at ASOS.
We love a show stopping piece of jewellery and we'd love to see this piece on a bride who's opted for a monochrome look. Wouldn't the glass pearls and black ribbon look amazing against a pure white dress?
Of course if you happened to add this £805 gorgeous necklace into your basket and enter our delivery address at checkout, we would not hold it against you.

We *love* this dress. Louise Fairburn, who owns a flock of sheep, made and designed the wooly number with wool from her favourite sheep, Olivia. Featuring a fitted bodice, halterneck and a layered skirt, this is one dress guests will certainly remember! [source]
'Seasons change but these gowns are here to stay!' says the website and we are more than happy with that. The continuing collection feature some of the most exquisite of Claire Pettibone's couture designs including the cotton crochet lace 'Yolanda' (left) and silk charmeuse gown Forget Me Not (right).

Shoe designer Rachel Simpson has introduced a new ballet style to her divine collection of bridal styles. The Mia flats are crafted from ivory satin with a sprinkle of crystals. We think they would make a great alternative to heels or for a pretty shoe for dancing during the reception particularly if you've just quaffed to much vino. Who? Us? Never.
Here's one for the romantics amongst us - a sweeheart neckline with a ruched waistband trimmed with floral lace and a pretty little ribbon topping off a classic full tulle skirt. All you need now is a country church and a bouquet of wild flowers with pimms on the lawn at the reception.
