HOT TOPIC Those in-the-know solve your wedding dilemmas SHE’S GOT THE LOOK I want a classic wedding dress that won’t date. We’re getting married in a manor house – do you have any suggestions? Creating a timeless look for a manor house wedding is a wonderful idea and will really add to the look of your wedding images when you look back in the future. I would recommend going with something that has some good construction in the bodice and has some real flounce-appeal in the skirt. That way you get the most drama and it will also ensure you stand out against the regal and dramatic backdrop of your venue. You could really go to town with the fabric and sleeves, too, as long as you stay with a shorter or off-the-shoulder sleeve design. I would suggest Peony by DAMA Couture, which also has the added benefit of having printed peonies in the fabric of the dress, so will also make your look really memorable to your guests.
