The red dress

We are doing a group post about red dresses. Red is the colour of passion, love and luck. Chinese brides are said to wear red.

I was not one of those girls that dreamed of a white wedding.

But I was up for wearing a red dress. The Doc wore a Paul Smith shirt & jeans. We were married by the sea.

I have 3 amazing vintage red summer dresses, one winter one and an extraordinary red dress coat from my gran.

But my wedding dress will always be my absolute red dress favourite. thank-you Paul Van Zyl.

Favourite Necklaces with a touch of Red

This piece my husband had made for me for our first wedding. It is a garnet made to match the garnets in his wedding ring. It was made by Amulet in Kloofnek Road and I love it.

This is made by Marietjie Beeslaar from Skermunkil (bought from Beatnik Bazaar in Kalk Bay inside the Mythology store).

My red feather bird brooch is from from Heartworks and is made by a Durban designer. (My silver birdy is also a Skermunkil) and these 3 make up my bird collection, but excluding my amazing Dannali Wilson bird earings (another post).
