116 Q&A Fashion & Beauty Local experts offer advice on how to look your best AUTUMN LEAVES We’re having an autumn wedding and would like my mum’s outfits to reflect this. Do you have any ideas? ❤ Look for an exquisite dress. Her go-to colours should be aubergine or cobalt blue, which go flawlessly with pewter or silver accessories. ❤ The gown may have lots of embellishments and beading, so avoid wearing lots of jewellery because this may look overpowering. ❤ We’re loving the dropped hemlines and faux fur wraps that will keep your mum warm while still complementing her outfit. Jodie Tanner thequeenb.co.uk MUM’S THE WORD My mum wants to wear a lace gown, but we’re struggling to find a design that we both like. Do you have any suggestions? Lace is a beautiful but tricky fabric to wear. The wrong type can be ageing, so it’s important she opts for a soft version such as Chantilly. Alternatively, she could look for an embroidered lace, which offers a more modern edge. It’s a great material for special occasions and offers coverage while still looking elegant. Coryn Emma baroqueboutique.co.uk FALL IN LOVE I’m getting married this autumn, and I’m not sure how to wear my make-up. Do you have any suggestions? Autumn is full of strong, rich colours, so why not let your make-up reflect that? If you opt for a bold hue on your lips, then complement it with a soft brown on your eyes. Alternatively, you could go for a stronger shade on your eyes and wear a softer palette on your lips. Nicola Gordon-Jones ngj-makeup.com 116
