Q&A Fashion and Beauty Find the answers to your wedding worries SUN-KISSED GLOW I’m looking for a natural spray tan that won’t make me orange or rub off on to my wedding dress. How do I avoid this? An experienced spray tan artist will use a professional spray tanning solution and have the knowledge to tailor the tan to your natural skin tone and avoid the orange looking tan that nobody wants. I recommend booking a trial tan at least two weeks before your wedding so you have time to decide whether the colour is just perfect or you would like to go darker or lighter. You should book your actual bridal spray tan for two days before your wedding. This will allow enough time for the guide bronzer from the solution to be fully washed off by showering on the day before and day of your wedding, so there is no bronzer remaining to rub off onto your dress. Pay special attention under your arms when showering by guiding any bronzer off with your hands. Having your spray tan two days before also allows time for the colour to settle for the perfect natural glow!

Colour The greens from 2022 are still proving really popular rolling into 2023 weddings, but the blue and lavender colour palettes are on track to be a key colour for bridesmaids this year. Style Bridesmaids are daring to be different this year; they want to look individual and stand out. Bridesmaids are mixing up their dress choices with different straps: halter neck, one-shoulder and off-the-shoulder styles are really starting to pick up in popularity. Plunge necklines and slits are set to make an appearance too. Fabric Satin dresses are due to make a return in 2023, with them combining comfort with femininity. Satin is the perfect fabric to emphasise the female silhouette, looking effortlessly chic. Michelle Tinsley, Lily Francis Bridal, www.lilyfrancisbridal.co.uk 86
