BALLGOWNS “Ballgowns are making a comeback, although they never truly went away. The simplicity of this year’s weddings will make way for bigger and bolder affairs in the coming year. We’re also expecting the trend for bridal jumpsuits to continue. “My favourite dress from the boutique at the moment is Morilee’s Brooke . It’s a soft, lightweight lace gown that looks simply stunning on.” – Jane Park, Country Brides of Faversham FLATS “Brides are thinking much more practically about footwear, so many are asking for flat or lower heels. We recommend bridal sneakers or a low, block heel if you want a bit of extra height, brilliant too if your wedding is outdoors. The dainty Chloe shoe is our go-to – comfortable but cute.” – Victoria THE BRIDAL GLOW “Natural, glowing skin is still very much in favour and can be created with radiance enhanced primers and shimmering powders. Dial it up with a combination of both or highlight certain areas such as the top of cheekbones swept up to the temples down the centre of the nose with a touch on the Cupid’s bow.” – Laetitia Rix, Makeup Angel https://joh nknightphotography.co.uk NECKLINES “We’re seeing lots of square necklines coming through in new collections and we haven’t found a body shape or bust size yet that it hasn’t suited! It’s modern, flattering and doesn’t show too much while remaining feminine. Luna , from our new range of Abella Bride gowns, is a wonderful example of this trending neckline – a stunning dress for the modern bride. “The off-the-shoulder with a sweetheart neckline is still popular and will be sticking around for 2022. Gowns like Monet by Hayley Paige will be arriving at the boutique in the new year.” – Victoria Walton, Victoria Elaine Bridal LOOKING YOUR BEST 83
