Sophia is a 20-year-old Business Management student from Bedfordshire who counts blogging as a big part of her life. It’s her little place on the Internet where she can ramble on about all the things she loves. She also works part time at a hairdressers, does accounts and administration for a print wear company and runs two other of her own businesses. We were able to grab a minute of Sophia’s time for her to talk about her favourite celebrity dresses to rent.
1. Forever Unique Stardust Dress – £59
Every time I see this dress I seem to fall in love with it even more. I adore the bejewelled bust detailing and think it is a complete show stopped. I think it is the type of celebrity dress rental that would make you feel fabulous and fairy-tale esk!
2. Alice and Olivia Olympia Embellished Dress – £49
Alice and Olivia have some beautiful celebrity dresses and this is one of my favourites by them. It is quite a simple design but the gorgeous twinkling fabric is absolutely stunning. Paired with the right heels and accessories it would be the perfect evening outfit.
3. Diva Sophia Sophia Sequin Dress – £29
Not only is this a stunning celebrity dress but also check out it’s amazing name…Sophia! I am a sucker for sparkle and this instantly took my eye on the website as it is something really unique. The asymmetric design is very in on the runway, it is a very high fashion statement dress.
4. Ariella Sequin Fishtail Gown – £109
This is absolutely stunning…I adore the style, the fabric and all of the sparkling detailing. You can tell I have a love affair with sparkle! It is a fabulous red carpet dress…if only I had a red carpet event to go to! It’s something different compared to the other celebrity dresses as it is a classic long evening dress and I adore the complimenting high neck detailing.
5. Gorgeous Couture The Lacey Dress – £49
I had to include a LRD (Little Red Dress) as these are staples in any girl’s wardrobe! I adore the shoulder detailing on this gorgeous celebrity dress as it adds something really unique and different to a simple midi dress design. It’s a very versatile dress, which could be worn for a wide range of occasions!

Fashion Follows Her is Katie Gavaghan’s little domain. She features everything fashionable and fabulous online. Although slightly obsessed with stationery she enjoys afternoon tea and Jaeger handbags. Katie talks us through her top 5 cocktail dresses to hire online.
1. Carven Voluminous Skirt Dress – £59
Carven fluttered on to my radar a couple of years ago and this is a perfect example of why I love their cocktail dresses. The full skirt has a flattering 50’s flare without being too dressy- perfect for lunch with the girls.
2. Erdem Garzoni Dress – £109
Dark and deadly florals feature heavily for A/W13 and I plan on adding a bouquet or two to my wardrobe. No one holds a candle to Erdem when it comes to floral cocktail dresses – utterly beautiful.
3. Helmut Lang Shale Draped Dress – £49
Any girl with curves knows draping is her friend. Helmut Lang weaved his magic and creates form flattering cocktail dresses in cool palettes of smoky grey and subtle greens. Love!
4. See by Chloe Shirt Blouse Dress – £69
Most days I have to be prised out of my pyjamas, so this ‘off to bed’ trend is a firm fave of mine. The See by Chloe silk cocktail dress has the same relaxed vibe.
5.  Issa Zebra Knit Dress – £49
Animal print is a tricky beast to tame, you can go from classy to brassy quicker than I can say ‘Liz McDonald’ (can’t beat a spot of Corrie). Personally I stick with zebra print as it’s easier to wear and mix with other pieces in my wardrobe.

Sue launched the now multi award-winning IceTheCake.co.uk just over 2 years ago. Initially it was set up to just say ‘Thank You’ to the suppliers who had helped at her Wedding. However, since then this wedding website has grown at a sensational rate, encompassing an extensive wedding directory, stylish blog full of wedding ideas and inspiration, an online shop with quirky handmade products and on Saturday 3rd August, Sue launched her very first boutique in Buckinghamshire. Sue takes us through her top
dresses for weddings this summer.
1. Alice + Olivia – Olympia Embellished Dress £49
Who doesn’t love a bit of sparkle at a wedding? This exquisitely embellished silk wedding guest dress is perfect for a summer celebration. The overall design, with its v-neck, elbow length sleeves and ruched waistline, is flattering and stylish. Team with metallic silver sandals or blush courts for a polished look.
2. ETRO – Paisley Print Dress £69
I really love the graphic print on this wedding guest dress. Summery in design, but also perfect for an autumn wedding. With its pull on style it is easy to wear, but the overall look is chic and requires minimal accessories. Pick your favourite colour from the design and emphasize it with oversized clutch and shoes of your choice.
3. Gorgeous Couture – The Bailey Print Dress £49
My selection wouldn’t be complete without at least one, one shouldered design. The Bailey dress for wedding guests has to be one of my favourite’s, as it creates a beautifully curvaceous silhouette. Even better, although I have personally chosen the print version of this dress, Girl Meets Dress actually stock it in other colours too! You can choose from knee length, Black or Blush and full length Blush or Turquoise. Gorgeous!
4. Project D – Phoebe Pelum Dress £39
Elegant and classy, this wedding guest dress oozes sophistication. I adore the chiffon overlay element of the dress with delicate polka dot detailing. The peplum ruffle design, is great for creating curves and the overall look and colour is perfect for any time of year. Team with silver, gold or white accessories for a classic ensemble or with fushia or orange for a more contemporary look.
5. Diane Von Furstenberg – Belted Lupe Summer Dress £39
My final choice is just too pretty! A delightful mix of ruffles and florals makes this wedding guest dress ultra girlie, but the length and style means it is perfect for all ages. Whether you like heels or prefer flats this wedding guest dress lends itself to all styles of shoes, which makes it versatile for beach weddings with flip flops or kittens to a London Mayfair Hotel and killer heels.
