We attended the very happy and lovely wedding of Helen and Tim this weekend. Two people who make me so happy to know them, and make me even happier to know them as a warm, caring, fun couple.
One of the guests at the wedding had an extraordinary she shwe dress on with applique design on the front. There is also loads of delicate stitching around the square neckline and the skirt hem that must have taken quite some time to get right.
Saliwe ( I think her name was) said that she had bought her dress ' in Town' ( i.e Johannesburg down town) as a dress for special events. We had a quick chat about all the lovely new shops opening in town that sell shwe shwe dresses - and how fun it was to see all the dresses available in these shops.
I realise in retrospect that I should have gotten her to straighten the front of her skirt for a clear picture of the skirt applique of a women with a head scarf.


Hi,
I just wanted to say that I love your blog.
As a bride-to-be on a tight budget, I recently discovered an online bridal jewelry store called GlamForLess.com.
Though their website is plain and simple, I found some great deals on jewelry sets for me and my bridesmaids.
I think other readers on a tight budget may also find GlamForLess.com to be helpful.
You may want to check them out at http://www.glamforless.com/ and inform other readers about it.
Keep up the good work.
Best regards,
Lisa Bloom
