Your North West Wedding- June/July 2020 (Issue 62)

FLOWERS 53 LOOKING YOUR B ST How to look your big-day best I ncorporating colours into your big day is becoming increasingly more popular, so to help give you heaps of inspiration, we’ve chosen three on-trend hues and asked local suppliers how you can include it into your look. THE WOW -FACTOR PINK PINK LADIES Dress designer and seamstress, Roxanne Halenko tells us how you can incorporate pink into your wedding gown. Roxanne says: Think of the time of year you’re getting married. If you’re having a winter wedding, try incorporating the hue into your shawl or wrap. Add a petticoat, so when you lift the fabric, you see the tint underneath. You could also opt for a coloured sash. Tie it around your waist and into a bow at the back. If you’re feeling adventurous, have the dress lined with a different fabric that shows through. Alternatively, mix up the embroidery, so that it incorporates your favourite shade. Having the soles of your shoes painted is also becoming very popular. It looks adorable and is a lovely keepsake. Blushing beauty Your make-up is one of the most important aspects of your nuptials, so we asked specialist Daniella Ingle how you can incorporate this wonderful hue into your look. Daniella says: Pink and blush tones have been taking the wedding world by storm, and that won’t be changing anytime soon. It’s elegant, soft, feminine and most importantly, versatile. No matter your eye colour, hair shade or skin tone, there is a version out there that will take you from classic neutrals to modern chic. When I think of products, I automatically lean towards Charlotte Tilbury. Her legendary Pillow Talk Collection introduced the everyday girl to a fresh new style worthy of a supermodel that’s achievable by everyone. She has introduced variations in depth too, which makes it universally flattering. When choosing a shade, always think about your complexion and undertone. Fair features will suit a mauve or dusky rose, and warmer tones look best with peaches or rose golds. A bold lip is a fun way to add a pop of colour into your look. If your bouquet consists of bright or rich pinks, matching a lip to them can be a real showstopper. Book your trial and take inspirational pictures with you. I normally advise you do this two to four months before the big day. This allows for seasonal change, and by this point, you will hopefully have your dress chosen and know what style you want. Don’t be afraid to try different depths and styles. Work closely with your artist to ensure you both find the perfect look for you.
