Donna Moon www.dmbridalaccessories.co.uk BOHO CHIC I’m planning to have two different dresses for my boho-themed wedding – how can I make them both fit the theme without being too similar? Start by looking for two different silhouettes. One could be a flowy A-line and the other a fitted mermaid, this will give you two different looks whilst still fitting the boho theme. Go for dresses in different fabrics, such as lace or crochet for one and flowy chiffon or silk for the other; this will help create a distinct look for each dress. Mix up the details and incorporate different elements, such as fringing or beading on one dress and embroidery on the other. Accessorising each dress will help set them apart. Consider adding a flower crown or a statement necklace to one and a vintage belt or a dainty hair accessory to the other. Remember, whatever you go for, have fun with the process and choose dresses that make you feel beautiful and confident. The team at BRIDHA www.bridha.co.uk 70
