Local experts offer stellar advice on wedding dilemmas HOT TOPIC ARRIVING IN STYLE We’re having a vintage-themed celebration and want to incorporate this into our transport. Do you have any ideas on how we can do this? There are many ways to incorporate transport into your vintage-themed wedding. Whatever your dream vehicle, there are many options to help make a stunning entrance to your vintage wedding that will create a fantastic statement – just dare to be different. At Radiant Retro Rides, we have a truly remarkable example of the iconic VW campervan. But you could also check out our latest addition. For a real head turner, how about a classic 1968 Vespa Piaggio moped in white, with Union Jack painted decor? Both are unique additions to any vintage-themed celebration. We love all vintage cars, and there are so many to choose from. A 1950s Jeep is a classic option for this style as well as an Austin, which is possibly a vehicle we’ll look at one day, as it matches our family name and is an excellent option for weddings. Jo Austin | Radiant Retro Rides www.facebook.com/radiantretrorides BEST DRESSED My mum wears trousers daily but feels like she must wear a dress on my wedding day. What would you suggest? A wedding is an extraordinary occasion for the wedding party, especially when getting the outfit right for mother-of-the-brides. Here at Charisma, we pride ourselves on giving a one-to-one personal service to assist our ladies through trying different styles and outfits. We suggest coming out of their comfort zone, away from their usual style, to try something different to get that wow factor. Some customers wish to have their legs covered and feel more comfortable in a trouser suit, which is great, but try a tea-length style dress such as the Condici Balmoral with its three-quarter length soft and feminine look, which can be dressed up with a fantastic hatinator for a church wedding or down with a simple flower for more relaxed weddings. We’ve had so many customer reviews telling us how they came into our boutique with style in mind but went out with something different and always had terrific comments on the day.
