 BRIDE TRIBE The Get your best girls and boys looking on point with top tips from those in the know O nce you’ve got your dream dress in the bag, getting your girl squad sorted is one of the next big things on the to-do list. The wed-shop can be a logistical nightmare if you’ve got a big bride tribe and everyone’s spread far and wide, but never fear, there’s a whole host of local suppliers on the doorstep ready and willing to help. Most importantly, try to make sure everyone feels comfortable, relaxed and happy on the big day, as this will shine out in the photos. If geography or other restrictions prevent you getting together with your besties to choose and try on dresses beforehand, there are a number of great one-style-fits-all multiway ranges available that can be worn to suit different sizes and shapes. A mismatched look can be stunning too and all you need to do to pull it off is choose the key colour or send out a fabric swatch and let your girls pick their own outfits to blend and coordinate with your theme. Alternatively, for something truly original to stand out from the crowd, you can always go bespoke. DRESSING THE BRIDAL PARTY 73
