Q&A Fashion and beauty Look the best version of you with our expert advice FINISHING TOUCHES I’m trying to find the perfect pieces to complete my wedding look. What jewellery style is currently on trend? Remember that it doesn’t have to be complicated when finishing your wedding look. Earrings are the go-to staple for your wedding day. Get the earrings right, and the rest of your look will follow suit. We recommend elegant yellow gold, freshwater pearl drop earrings here at Avanti for a timeless classic that will always enhance your wedding look. The way the light catches a cream-coloured pearl is perfect for accentuating warm skin tones and complementing fairer ones. When choosing the style of earrings, consider your wedding outfit and, most importantly, your neckline. This consideration helps maintain the perfect aesthetic. Generally, longer pearl drop earrings are more suited to lower necklines, off-the-shoulder gowns and backless styles. On the other hand, pearl studs and delicate pearl drop earrings offer a daintier look and can be combined with lace, detailed dresses or higher necklines. Our 9ct yellow gold huggie drop earring with an interchangeable teardrop-shaped freshwater pearl charm provides a more contemporary take on the ‘pearl drop’. The charm can be replaced, dressed up or dressed down with additional and alternative charms, so you can continue to wear them for various occasions. Keep the memories of your special day alive and invest in earrings that won’t let you or your outfit down. Sarah White | Avanti Fine Jewellery | www.avantijewellers.co.uk LOVE IS IN THE HAIR I want my hair to look thicker and more voluminous for our special day. How can I achieve this? Achieving a thicker and more voluminous look for your special day is not only possible, but there are many options available! Many brides opt for clip-in extensions for the day; this will add some length and extra thickness around the bottom half of their heads. If the thinning is towards the top of the head, a textured updo adds volume at the top to make locks appear thicker due to the different shape. Avoid any tight and sleek looks. These styles are designed to be very close to the head, and scraping them back will make the hair look even thinner than you’d like. Lastly, don’t hesitate to ask your stylist what magic they can work! There are numerous products and styling techniques out there that will surprise you. But remember, a hair trial is a must. It’s your chance to experiment with different styles and find the one that makes you feel comfortable and ready for your special day.

What advice can you share? It’s important to choose products suitable for your skin type. I can suggest some specific items that are great for controlling oiliness without breaking the bank. There are also specific treatments that can massively help reduce the oils in your skin and tighten your pores. Depending on how long it is until your big day, I definitely recommend this, and I can discuss these with you on a more personal level. On your wedding day, it’s important to strike a balance in your skin preparation routine. Ensure your skin is cleansed and not overly prepped. With oily skin, we should avoid using too many skin products, as this can lead to more oil production. Instead, focus on using a gripping primer to hold the foundation in place without it separating. I recommend using a matte foundation, and I always set my oily brides with Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder, as it effectively blurs away the pores.
