I am off to a fabulous wedding in the Natal Midlands this weekend, which I am very excited about as I know both the bride and groom. They are both such fabulous people, I really can’t think of anything more exciting than seeing them walk down the aisle together.
The bride has been totally calm and cool during the whole planning process and is hardly anything close to bridezilla. But I happen to know that she does not like wearing all black to weddings so I decided that out of respect to her sentiments I would not wear black to her wedding. Now, this is easier said than done. All of my faithful cocktail dresses are black. So this meant hitting the stores and finding the oh-so-perfect dress for the function.
I was on a budget and would’ve loved to invest in a beautiful flowing maxi dress, but I knew my budget would just not permit it. I tried to go retail but didn’t find anything alluring (and non-black) at any of the retail outlets.
And then one of my favourite South African brands delivered the perfect dress. Leigh Schubert is a wonder with cut, embellishment and fabrication. This silver-grey T-shirt-style dress fits fabulously. I love the neckline pleats that extend into the slightly puffed sleeves. It is understated but stylish and the shorter hemline gives just the right amount of cheeky attitude.
Her collection at The Space is beautiful and I hope to buy some more of her items.
