Your North East Wedding - Page number 68 - May/June 2021 (Issue 44)

LOOKING YOUR BEST I want to look my best for our whimsical-themed wedding, what style suits would you suggest? At Suitperior, we love the whimsical wedding theme as it allows our grooms to step away from the traditional navy three-piece suits and capture the essence of spring and summer with stunning pastel shades. Our three-piece sky- blue and cream suits are perfect examples of this and are brilliantly versatile, allowing you to add finishing touches such as bow ties or neckties to suit your style. A rising trend and a perfect fit for this theme is the comeback of the black two-piece tuxedo and we absolutely love it. Complete with black shoes and a bow tie, you’re guaranteed to look and feel your sophisticated best! Chris Curtis | Suitperior | www.suitperior.co.uk READY, SET, BAKE We’re having an intimate wedding but still want a showstopping cake. How can we achieve this? When we create our cakes, people want a much taller and grander design to achieve that wow factor. However, in this case the cake would go to waste if it’s only a small intimate wedding. In these circumstances, we use dummy tiers that are made from polystyrene. This means couples don’t have the extra cost or waste because they only have the amount needed. We cover the dummy tiers the same way we do with the whole cake and use chocolate and sugar for the decorations – every couple can have the cake of their dreams this way!

What pieces are currently on-trend? Wearing something comfortable is so important as she’ll want to wear the piece all day. The item shouldn’t be too big; opt for something subtle instead which matches her outfit and take into consideration the size and style of your wedding and your mum’s personality. Pillbox and disc-based headpieces are very popular and can be made to complement your mother’s outfit while matching any colour scheme. This can be upcycled and worn again – don’t let it sit in the hatbox for years to come. Lynne Young | Lynne Young Millinery www.lynneyoungmilliner.co.uk 68
