On the street....Summer Lane @ The Hamilton Wedding Show

Ahhh I love this dress! This weekend is all about wedding dresses. Today I was invited to the Hamilton Wedding Show at The Hamilton Convention Centre. It was fun to see all the brides-to-be walking around with their moms looking for the perfect dress or the perfect flower arrangement. I am a fan of this black sash on this dress. Some people say no black on your wedding day but I say it's your day do what you like! There are more photos from the wedding show to come!

The colours on this top (On the Right) are beautiful. They look like they have been painted on. I just realized that all my posts this week have been about colours. Maybe I am colour deprived?

I love the colours of this tie made in Uganda. I feel like men don't get a chance to wear clothing that pops all that often. Ties are one way men can add a little more vibrancy to their outfits.
