Q&A Fashion & Beauty Experts offer advice on how to look your big-day best JEWEL OF THE AISLE I’m worried my dress is too plain for my colourful wedding; how can I add some fun through my accessories? You can inject some colour into your wedding style in a fun and modern way with a fabulous pair of bright heels; there are some amazing styles and shades available that will give your look that extra pop. You could pair them with a belt or sash in the same colour or add a wrap or shawl. Hair accessories are another simple way of introducing colour into your day. These can be paired with stunning jewellery to add fun in a classy way. Veils are now also available in a multitude of hues, so if you’re brave enough, go for it! Those of you looking for something a little more subtle can introduce colour through your jewellery. Not all bridal jewellery has to be plain diamantes or pearls; opt for a striking sapphire blue or maybe some pink and green contrasting statement earrings to create that wow factor. Donna Moon www.dmbridalaccessories.co.uk A PASSION FOR FASHION I’m looking for an elegant dress that’s easy to dance the night away in. Do you have any suggestions? A lightweight A-line or fit-and-flare dress would be the perfect way to achieve an elegant look whilst allowing you to feel unrestricted during the evening. Minimalist trains are also key, and avoid long, restrictive sleeves unless they are detachable. A slit is a timeless classic and will make your dress more breathable. Remember, being elegant doesn’t mean you can’t also be a fun bride. Whatever you choose, you will look beautiful. The team at Te Amo Bridal www.teamobridalworkington.co.uk Dale by Madi Lane Bridal PURE ELEGANCE What’s a classic bridal look that I’ll love in my photos for years to come? The best piece of advice I can give is to stay true to yourself when it comes to choosing a dress, your hair and make-up. If you’re a minimal type of girl, you may regret going for a full on glam look and vice versa. Your artist will create a style using shades to suit your eye colour and skintone to make your features pop. The same goes with your hair, do what feels right for you. If you usually wear your hair down or up, go for a more enhanced version so when you look back at your images you won’t feel like you’re staring at a stranger. It’s easy to jump on fashion trends, but a classic bridal look is blended and seamless without harsh lines; you want to see your beautiful face before you see the make-up, complemented with a hairstyle that suits your face shape.
