Bridal Express

Bridal Express is taking a break...

Due to work overload, we are taking a break. Whilst we're gone, do browse the archives for wedding fun and take a look at our favourite blogs in the blog roll.

Ta-ta chums!

ps We'll still be deleting any spammy comments.

We're celebrating two hundred posts!

We're delighted with the reception Bridal Express has had since our launch earlier this year and we're even happier to hit two hundred posts. Of course, there will be many more! Do take the time to have a look through our archives if you haven't already. There's dozens of gorgeous wedding dresses to drool over, not to mention some fabulously innovative ones and let's not forget the frocktastrophes! And you'll find lots more wedding related fun via the buttons at the top of this page and in the categories sidebar.

Please do feel free to leave comments too - we love getting your feedback and are more than happy to natter away with you plus we've made the comments section as simple as possible to use.

We've also recently had a brand spanking new design so we hope you're enjoying the new look Bridal Express!

Our Flickr Frocktastrophe group

Don't we all love a good frocktastrophe? I know I do. Back when I edited Bridalwave, I scoured the net for dozens of would you really want to wear that? dresses and boy, were they popular! So I started thinking about how I could collate all those finds and also have our stylish readers contribute the scary frocks they've found whilst on the hunt for their perfect outfit.

So, without further ado and a little drum rolling, check out our Flick Frocktastrophe group! Feel free to join the group and add pictures or comments. The only rule is that we don't want any 'real people' as we don't want to be mean and remember... everyone's idea of what makes a frocktastrophe is entirely subjective so we only aim to have a little fun! Enjoy!

Camilla joins Wishpot.com as a wedding expert

I'm a bit excited about this. There's only one thing better than window shopping for yourself... and that's window shopping for other people! Wishpot very kindly asked me if I'd like to be one of their wedding experts and naturally I jumped at the chance!

I'm in great company too - some of my favourite wedding bloggers are already there including Junebug Weddings, Polka Dot Bride, Always a Bridesmaid and... well, there are lots and well worth checking out for their recommendations.

You can find my Wishpot page here - I've just started adding some gorgeous things so keep checking back.

Oops!

Please excuse the fact that I have entirely broken this blog. It's all down to technical issues as I give it some much needed maintenance and a new name.

In about two hours it should be all fixed *fingers crossed*.

Update: All seems to be fixed! Hurrah!
