An Essex Wedding - Mar/Apr 2020 (Issue 91)

“Accessories in general are huge for Spring/ Summer 2020, so we can expect lots of statement hats. Halo headpieces have been popular since Kate Middleton wore one; my clients love that they don’t affect your hairstyle and can be worn throughout the wedding breakfast. Colour-wise, pastel yellow and mint green is expected to follow through from the catwalk.” – Victoria Carson, Victoria Charles Headpieces Mum ’ s the word She’s been waiting for this day just as long as you; she deserves to feel fabulous! cocofashion.com cocofashion.com cocofashion.com christinesoccasionwear.co.uk victoriacharlesheadpieces.com “The modern mum is looking for timeless, classic styles with contemporary elements to take their designer outfit to a whole new plane. Today’s discerning women are seeking figure-flattering shapes, exquisite tailoring, breath-taking fabrics and beautiful detailing.” – Alice Cox, Coco Fashion “All of our shoes have a platform, so the heel appears high but it doesn’t feel it and remains comfortable all day. Many women are going for big hatinators or fascinators rather than a classic hat.” – Alice Cox, Coco Fashion “Lots of mothers are opting for full-length or high-low styles, so you get the best of both worlds. We’re also seeing more metallic for a little sparkle.” – Carla Lynch, Dress Code Nine GET IN TOUCH WITH OUR EXPERTS Rachel Robinson | Dapper Chaps Formal Wear | dapperchapsformalwear.co.uk Marc Moore | Jack Bunneys | jackbunneys.co.uk Carla Lynch | Dress Code Nine | dresscodenine.co.uk Hollie Bowater | Grace & Lace Bridal | graceandlace.co.uk Karen Lambert | Martels Bridal Boutique | martelsbridal.co.uk Rachel Robinson | Christine’s Occasion Wear | christinesoccasionwear.co.uk Alice Cox | Coco Fashion | cocofashion.com Victoria Carson | Victoria Charles Headpieces | victoriacharlesheadpieces.com “There’s a new desire for softer jackets and coats in floaty chiffon. We’ve seen lots of strong jewel colours coming through, but pastels still remain popular.” – Rachel Robinson, Christine’s Occasion Wear “This season we’re offering more in the way of dresses rather than suits. Calf-length cuts as well as flowing, feminine styles have been very well- received. Customers are looking for outfits that can be worn again.” – Alice Cox, Coco Fashion DRESSING THE BRIDAL PARTY 77
