A Wedding Dress at Harrods

I was awestruck when I saw this wedding dress (below) displayed at Harrods. It is beautiful, really beautiful. And I was not the only one who was enamoured of it because almost every girl who passed by did a double take and then gushed that it’s gorgeous.



This was the wedding dress of my dreams – lace and mermaid silhouette. Sigh. Emphasis on the word “was” because uhh hellooo reality check – Georgia you are not slim, not at all tall and you don’t have a shockingly flat tummy as if it is being molded with an invisible corset. Dream on. Ha! My bestfriend pointed out when I had told her I dream of wearing a mermaid cut wedding dress that I will definitely look like a budbud (suman in Tagalog). Huhu. Some bestfriend eh?

The dress is by Pronovias. I visited their site and wow, I absolutely adore their dresses! But I had to stop browsing for after few minutes I started sighing and wishing for the impossible again. Oh you know, if only I am tall and skinny and all that nonsense. I don’t want to be an insecure bride. No no!

Well the plan is just to choose a dress that perfectly fits me. I promise never to drive my body into exhaustion or starve myself in an attempt to fit myself into a dream dress. A dream dress on a model might turn out to be a nightmare on me. A nightmare that will be forever immortalize in pictures and videos. Well that is scary.

Pronovias also sell wedding couture by Manuel Mota, Valentino and Ellie Saab. Yeah... expensive.

Mohammed Al Fayed (owner of Harrods and the father of the late Dodi Al Fayed, the late Princess Diana's boyfriend who died with her) gave a £3500 Manuel Mota wedding dress (equivalent to 245k in Philippine pesos) to the late Jade Goody, a British personality who emerged from the Big Brother fame who died from cervical cancer last month. Jade married Jack Tweed while terminally ill, exactly a month before she passed away. Hmmm, I wonder what will make Mr. Al Fayed to give me a designer wedding dress for free?
