BOHO BRIDE I’d love some ideas for a whimsical, ethereal wedding dress for my boho-inspired spring wedding – can you help? Meet the expert: Holly Lewis is part of the talented team at Debbie Rees Bridal, a luxury bridal boutique located in Wokingham. Holly says: For a spring wedding, we can focus on the floral textures of lace which embodies the bohemian style. My first dress recommendation would be Darcy by Madison James, pictured. It’s an ethereal dress with a semi-sheer structured bodice and a soft A-line skirt and the nod to the theme is in the delicate tulle off-the-shoulder straps. For a slightly different shape, I would suggest Deidra which is part of the new Signature collection by Justin Alexander. It’s a stunning silhouette featuring a leafy textured lace. With this dress, you can create two looks because it comes with a detachable train that adds drama. The colourway of a dress can make all the difference and with Deidra, the warm peachy tones of the tulle highlight the beauty of the ivory lace on top. For something a little different, why not try Alivia by Justin Alexander, a real showstopper! With a striking cut-out lace train and bodice, this crepe fabric is lightweight, easy to dance in and shows off your figure - perfect for a spring wedding.

Meet the expert: Rosalyn’s Emporium is a bespoke jewellery business based in Chesham, Buckinghamshire, offering commissions, Make Your Own Wedding Ring workshops and remodelled pieces. Rosalyn says: I’ve been running Make Your Own Wedding Ring experience days from my private workshop for five years now and each one is personalised to the couple making it one of the highlights of their wedding preparation (so I’ve been told!) The workshops are aimed at beginners and I’m experienced at teaching and have more than 21 years of experience in making bespoke wedding rings so you’re in safe hands. I work with precious metals including gold, platinum, palladium and silver and I can use your gold and precious stones in some situations. Once the rings are made, they can be set with these stones and engraved or plated. Experience days cost £450 per couple plus materials per ring in addition. This ensures fair pricing because you only pay for what you need based on the current prices. It also reduces waste on resources used to extract metals and stones meaning your rings are sustainable as well as unique. I also offer a full design and make service if you don’t want to make the rings yourself and I can also recycle and remodel items.
