Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - May/June 2024 (Issue 49)

Q&A Fashion COVER STARS Get the look of our glamorous cover couple this issue Claire Ridley is the editor of Your Devon & Cornwall Wedding and the fashion editor across the County Wedding Magazine titles. With more than 25 years’ experience in the wonderful world of bridal fashion, she tells us how to achieve the look of real wedding couple Becky and Josh, our fabulous cover stars in this issue. Claire says, “I Do Film and Photos created our romantic cover this issue of real-life couple Becky and Josh on their wedding day. Turn to page 33 to read all about it and to see the full list of local suppliers. To book I Do Film and Photos for your wedding, visit www.idofilmandphotos.co.uk.” Claire adds, “Becky chose the sassy dress called Lola from Made with Love which I adore! It has been handmade using beaded sparkly lace over a French jersey stretch cape with a structured boned corset bodice which is very current. This beautiful style also features hand-beaded spaghetti straps and a low back - a real showstopper!” GET THE LOOK: www.madewithlovebridal.com/mwl-lola Claire explains how pink has never gone out of fashion, especially since the release of the Barbie movie last summer, and how a pale pink and blush-coloured palette combined is the perfect pick for your best girls. She says, “These stunning bridesmaids’ dresses chosen by the couple were from Vinted. Becky allowed her bridesmaids to select a different style each in which they would feel confident and fabulous which shines through in the photographs. The shades chosen complement each other beautifully and by keeping the length the same, in this case full length, it makes everything look coordinated.” GET THE LOOK: www.vinted.co.uk When it comes to menswear, Claire explains how there are many great choices for grooms which don’t have to be the traditional three-piece suit. “I adore how Josh chose light-coloured attire for himself and his groomsmen but jazzed up his look with a tartan bow tie to stand out from the crowd,” Claire says. “Another clever idea was when we removed his jacket for the evening, he sported a pair of braces which suited their laidback, farm setting.” GET THE LOOK: www.moss.co.uk All images courtesy of www.idofilmandphotos.co.uk EXPERT ADVICE 71
