Your West Midlands Wedding- August/September 2020 (Issue 69)

84 Local experts offer advice on how to look your big-day best SPARKLE THE NIGHT AWAY Q – I’ve chosen quite a plain dress and would love to add a bit of sparkle through my accessories. Do you have any ideas? How you accessorise your look depends on your personal style. With a plain dress, you could make a statement through your jewellery, or you might prefer to stick to something simple and elegant such as a small gemstone pendant. If you decide to wear a necklace, make sure you try it on with your dress first to ensure it works with the neckline. I’m planning my wedding at the moment and will be wearing my hair up to show off my statement earrings. They have beautiful coloured gemstones for that extra twinkle. Diamonds are always a popular choice, but with coloured gemstones, you can incorporate them into the style of your wedding. You could even choose a hue that matches your bridesmaids’ dresses.
