Your East Midlands Wedding - Feb/Mar 2020 (Issue 36)

Enjoy a romantic big day with our expert advice HOT TOPIC LOOK YOUR BEST Q: I’m a curvy girl and want to accentuate my natural curves in a soft, romantic dress. What would you suggest? Jess says: A big tulle or satin skirt can feel amazing to swish around in but a more fitted or slimmer shape will often elongate and show off more of your curves. I’d recommend either a bias cut dress by Charlie Brear for a natural figure-hugging look or a fitted Jesus Peiro crepe dress with a soft fit-and-flare shaping.  For a softer, more romantic look, you can combine a slim-cut dress with a chiffon or lace overlay to achieve that flowing, boho skirt effect while still making the most of those amazing curves. Rembo Styling’s 2020 collection includes its Embrace line, which adapts some of its low-back dresses so they can easily be worn with a bra without compromising the signature Rembo look.  One more thing, never underestimate the power of your bridal underwear to help you feel both comfortable and confident on your big day! Jess Seaman | Alexandra Anne Bridal | alexandra-anne.co.uk THE LOOK OF LOVE Q: I want to get some romantic shots of me and my wife at our wedding but I’m awkward when having photos taken. What would you suggest?  Kyra says: No one wants to pose all day at their wedding, you don’t need to have formal staged photographs for beautiful romantic images. Personally, I’d encourage a relaxed walk around the venue and ask couples to have a chat about their day so far – natural intimate moments can be captured without awkward posing.
