Getting married over 40

I'm still here, awaiting the move. In the meantime, I've written a piece for the Guardian on the modern, fuss-free bride - and getting married over-40. Here's the LINK. And here are some inspirational brides:

  1. Thank you Alyson! Since I am 100% certain that I will never again be included in a roundup that includes The Moss, Bianca, or Sofia, I'm just going to sit here on my sofa and enjoy the moment:).

  2. Our Lisa from Amid Privilege does get something right every now and then and her San Fabulous wedding was a home run!

  3. Love these but am baffled at Kate Moss having a rehearsal dinner. I've been assuring my daughter this is a North American phenomenon and here it is cropping up brit-style. Am I behind the times?

  5. Of course, Lisa's the standout here. . . ;-) what fun to have met both of you. Both such class acts.
    (wishing you all kinds of good luck with your move)

  6. Nancy - I think it is more of an American phenomenon, but Brits do sometimes have a get-together the night before. Much better to have an early night #thatismyage

    Thanks, materfamilias. You're a class act, too.

  7. I have to agree. Lisa looks utterly stunning. I adore a stylish bride. Well, any bride really. They're all memorable in their own way....Mimi xxx

  8. Always love looking at brides and won't tell you what absolutely terrible but addictive TV program I watch just to look at wedding dresses. Oh yes, how sad! However, there is always something lovely in looking at pictures of a dreamy wedding. It is normal to have a rehearsal dinner in the States - we just had a huge dinner the night before with family as a catch before the big day - loved it.

  9. Bianca Jagger's white YSL suit always knocks me out.
