Muslim Wedding Guest Attire

 Last weekend I was lucky enough to be invited to a Pakistani Muslim wedding and thought I would share the outfit that I wore. I don't actually know either of the families but my boyfriend Graeme is friends with the groom. Traditionally this type of wedding lasts for three days & this was the outfit I wore for day two which was the wedding day. I had no idea what to wear or what to expect either but luckily the grooms family helped pick out both our outfits. The wedding was held in Birmingham in a huge marquee at the grounds of a beautiful hotel. The venue was simplistic in cream and decorated with sparkly jewels and roses. Everyone wore traditional dress which was a sea of deep vibrant colours, the bride was stunning and beautifully draped in crimson red and gold. The contrast of the venue and attire was truly breathtaking. The day itself was so much fun and was lovely to see a traditional Muslim wedding as it's so different from weddings I've attended before.

New Shoes? Primark of course!

Primark- £14
Through the gloom of the typical Glasgow weather I decided to cheer myself up by heading to Primark for a little bargain hunt. I didn't go there for any particular item(s) but as usual I scurried out of there clutching the infamous brown paper bag that nicely turned to mush by the time I got to the end of the street. There may be a little haul soon so look out for that! When I first spotted these I ran straight over & was met with two different styles these closed toe pair pictured above & another similar pair with gold hardware & open toes. It wasn't a hard decision to pick between them both as the gold buckles was a little to blingy & they showed far to many toes (if they makes any sense). I'm sure they would look gorgeous on someone else just not me. These sandals are great quality its the softest faux leather & extremely comfortable. The ankle straps have stretch & there's a zip in the back so no need for faffing about with the buckles. They are also very similar to others I've seen on the high street for at least double the price!! £14 well spent & I can't wait to wear them, if you haven't been to Primark in a while & are looking for some cute chunky sandals grab them quick before the sun come out! Bravo Primark!!
