Your Kent Wedding - Page number 87 - November/December 2021 (Issue 99)

SELECT YOUR JEWELLERY Natalie Towell of Navette Jewellery says, “Consider investing in a high quality item of wedding jewellery, ensuring it’s worn throughout the years and becomes a keepsake and an heirloom of the future. In time, it might even become something old or borrowed.” HOW TO... SHOP FOR THE DREAM DRESS Victoria from Victoria Elaine Bridal says, “There are so many wonderful boutiques in our county so be sure to research them all. Find out their individual style and specialism before booking appointments at your top two to three shops. One of them is bound to have your dream dress but if not, don’t worry, you can always book more.” Jane from Country Brides of Faversham tells us what to do once you’ve arrived for your appointment: “Relax. The more chilled you are, the more you’ll enjoy your experience. And trust your instinct. If your nan falls in love with the sparkly ballgown and your maid-of-honour thinks the mermaid dress is the one, while you can’t stop thinking about the chiffon boho number, ask to try them all again and see how you feel the second time around. Ultimately, you’re the one getting married and you have to feel confident in your choice of dress.” If there’s one thing we’ve learnt from our brides, it’s the importance of keeping an open mind. Hayley Freeman-Revell from Victoria Grace Bridal agrees: “So many ladies walk in wanting one thing and walk out with something completely different! If you go to your appointment with an open mind and allow the advisor to guide you, you may be surprised what you fall in love with.” DEFINE THE EYES FOR A MODERN LOOK Laetitia from Makeup Angel says, “The defined brow that was trending has softened greatly and has been replaced by a more natural, swept up look. This can be achieved using eyebrow gel to hold it in place. Lashes are great for weddings as they add a touch of glamour and extra definition for photos. The lash technician industry is booming and with so many styles, the semi-permanent option can be a good choice. Finally, natural eyes are now getting smokier, so get the 2022 look by beautifully blending out smoky lids for soft bridal finish.” – Laetitia www.pen nyyoungphotography.com LOOKING YOUR BEST 87
