HOT TOPIC Local experts offer stellar advice on wedding dilemmas #TRENDING My hubby-to-be wants to wear something that’s ontrend. What styles, colours and materials are popular right now? Tweeds in all colours are proving extremely popular, either as a full three-piece suit or a waistcoat. Paired with the Peter Posh Stretton or the Westbury Royal Blue Mohair Lounge Suit, the waistcoat allows you to have that tweed look without being too warm to wear – especially in the summer months. Another trending look is the patterned three-piece suits, like this gorgeous Alveley one. I’ve booked several weddings with tuxedos lately for couples seeking a more formal and elegant look on their wedding day. Helen Kirk Sanders Hirewear www.sandershirewear.co.uk SAY CHEESE! Many photographers offer an engagement shoot, but we’re camera shy and don’t know if it’s for us. What are the benefits? Not everyone loves being in front of the camera, but it’s not every day you get married! Engagement shoots help you get acquainted with your photographer and the camera in their hand in a more relaxed environment that’s not time-restricted. The shoot gives you the chance to see the supplier’s people skills, and provides the photographer with an opportunity to see how you react in front of a camera. Here they can learn how to best put you to ease, what type of pictures you like and more. For anyone who is camera-shy, we recommend a pre-wedding shoot more than ever. There’s nothing worse than turning up at the ceremony, at this point you’re probably most nervous, and suddenly having a photographer point a camera at you for the first time without knowing what to expect. Your photographer is one of your few suppliers who are with you for the entire day. So a good relationship is vital, and you’ll soon enjoy having your photos taken more than you imagined.
