Your North East Wedding - May/June 2020 (Issue 38)

 Have the perfect spring wedding with our expert advice HOT TOPIC DRESSED TO IMPRESS All the men will be wearing suits on our wedding day; how can I try to stand out from the crowd? When any potential groom visits us, the first thing is to make them feel comfortable not only in their surroundings but in what they are wearing as they need to feel relaxed in the outfit we create for them. Every wedding’s different, from a barn to hot air balloon weddings – everyone has their idea of a perfect day and we just try to put together the perfect outfit to complement the setting and vision they have. Some guys go for a very classic three-piece suit, and then some want just trousers, braces, bow ties and shirt sleeves rolled up. The key is the accessories – two people can wear the very same suit, but it will look totally different. For example, a shirt tie and hanky with a classic pair of brogues have a very elegant timeless feel, but the same suit could be worn with cropped trousers, sneakers and a neck scarf – same suit two different looks.

From the moment your guests arrive until the last dance of the evening, each experience will be accompanied by a song; the processional, during the signing of the register, the recessional, the drinks reception, the wedding breakfast, and of course the evening celebrations and the first dance. Undoubtedly, the most important piece of music on your wedding day has to the processional song. The entrance of the bride is a monumental moment in the wedding ceremony, having a beautiful piece of music will enhance the emotion and create a truly magical moment. As the guests are arriving, a selection of romantic and relaxing pieces will set the tone for the day and builds anticipation for the arrival of the bride. The recessional song will be more celebratory in mood, something upbeat and fun.
