Occasion Dresses UK - Flower Prints

I've never been a huge fan of flower prints and floral dresses but I've spotted a couple in the new range that are very wearable and such lovely colours.

I'm a trend follower so even if I wasn't completely keen on floral prints I would've still found one to wear because it's a popular style right now.

These following two dresses are great if your looking for special occasion dresses suitable for a summer wedding.


Sorry it's a small picture here you can view the LA Flower Print Bandeau dress in more detail. Such bold bright summery colours. It looks gorgeous and you can wear it strapless or add the straps that come without it.




Here's the other one, it's called the Saskia dress. I adore turquoise so I was bound to like this dress. It seems safer than the bright one above but that's just because I'm a wimp when it comes to bold colours!

Occasion Dresses UK - Emerald Coast Sweetlife Dress

Ok, I have no other special occasions coming up to have an excuse to buy another Coast dress - nor do I have the money at the moment - so I'll just have to settle with looking at the "new in" dresses, some of which I'll own one day :0)!

One of the first dresses that caught my eye was the Emerald Sweetlife Dress at Coast that comes in sizes 6-18.

It comes with a lovely patent belt that defines the waist. And the black stands out against the green. I've got a thicker belt with diamantees at the frot that I could wear with it too - oh I can already see this dress hanging in my wardrobe lol.

I like the strapless style in the picture but it also comes with detachable straps.

Occasion Dresses UK - My Dress For The Next Wedding!

Another one of my friends is getting married this year too - June time. Definitely avoiding black for that wedding because we'll be well into the summer sunshine, hopefully - you never know with the UK weather!

I could've got away with wearing the same Daria Coast dress I bought for the upcoming wedding but it's the same group of friends so that's a no no and a new occasion dresses to buy! Boys have it so easy, they can wear the same suit or kilt outfit and no one would know!

I'm being quite organised for once and I bought my dress for the June wedding at the same time as the one in a few days. It was quite expensive but I justified it because I got the Daria dress on sale.

It's the Showtime Maxi Duchess satin dress in pink, here it is on the right. I wanted a floor length style because the wedding is in a really fancy location and this dress looks perfect for a formal occasion.

Occasion Dresses UK - My Dress For The Wedding!

As I mentioned in the last post my friend bought Coast dresses for her bridesmaids and that wedding is this weekend!

I'm so excited!

I did try and search around for occasion dresses in the UK other than my usual Coast buys but I wasn't very impressed. People don't even ask where I get my dresses from anymore ... they just know!

I got the black and white Daria dress, it was on sale with a third of the price off!

I'm going to add some colour with jewellery and shoes (teal) though because I don't usually wear black to a wedding, but I really liked the style -not too long and not too short.

Occasion Dresses Uk - Occasion Dresses For Weddings

Keeping with my favourite occasion dresses UK store, Coast have a lovely selection of dresses for women attending weddings as well as those who will be part of the wedding. A lot of the dresses can be used for bridesmaids and they also group the latest dresses that they suggest would be great for bridesmaids.

My friend recently bought the Adelaide duchess satin dress for her bridesmaids. Here it is on the right. Such a lovely colour and style.

Occasion Dresses UK

There are a few stores that focus on occasion dresses in the UK. One of my favourites has to be Coast.

No matter what colour or style I'm looking for they always seem to have the perfect dress.

There are gorgeous new styles for 2009 - perfect for weddings and other formal occasions. The dresses are great quality so they are more expensive than other high street shops but they do offer sales at the end of seasons.
