RED-CARPET READY I’m not used to wearing much make-up but I want to look flawless on our big day, whilst still feeling like me. Help! For an effortless look it’s important to choose a make-up artist who specialises in red carpet or event make-up rather than someone who specialises in bridal. A make-up artist with knowledge, experience and expertise in red carpet looks will know how to enhance your skin and features, without giving you a traditional bridal look. I’d always advise that you book a trial ahead of the big day to set your mind at ease. Ask for a look that’ll give you enough coverage while enhancing radiance and creating definition of your face structure. A great professional will work like an alchemist, combining products to make formulas to achieve the best result. Mathew Alexander | Mathew Alexander Hair and Make-up | www.mathewalexander.co.uk LUXURY BRIDAL I have an idea of the type of dress I’d like. What advice can you give me for my first bridal appointment that’ll help me find the one – even if it’s different to what I’d imagined? The first step is to have that shape, style and feel in mind of what suits you. If you don’t have an idea yet, that’s ok too, as we can help you find the special one! We have a beautiful edit of versatile glamorous gowns, simple white dresses, jumpsuits and separates and would work with you to explore, try on and find that perfect piece. We would then discuss how we adapt to make this personal to you, be it different colourways or fabrics, alterations to sleeves, neckline, or length. Suzannah London’s bridal pieces are charming, playful and incredibly skilful in construction. I work tirelessly with my technical team to create the most ultimate fit and feeling of a garment. The look and feel are equally important when investing in luxury. Suzannah Crabb | Suzannah London | www.suzannah.com BESPOKE TAILORING My hubby-to-be is searching for his outfit but he wants something more special than an off-the-rack suit. Can you talk me through the process of going bespoke? Entirely cut and made by hand in our London atelier, our men’s bespoke suit process provides limitless possibilities. We cut each garment to your exact specifications. Even details such as lapel style, shoulder construction and stitch count can all be determined. An in-depth set of measurements are taken, and body figurations and posture considered as we work to accentuate your best features and reflect your individual style. Every suit’s then drafted from a paper pattern allowing us to create and innovate in making you a tailor-made garment that’s free from limitations of a pre-determined block, cut or style. We pride ourselves on providing expert guidance in terms of styling, fit and cloth, with a focus on a warm and insightful service. Our 3000 cloths are exclusively hand selected from the finest UK, Italian and Japanese mills. Charlie Casely-Hayford | Casely-Hayford https://casely-hayford.com 84
