Your Surrey Wedding - October/November 2023 (Issue 103)

THE FINISHING TOUCH CHARLOTE WILDEN, WILDEN LONDON www.wildenlondon.com Pearls are really popular at the moment, in particular Baroque pearls which means they’re irregular, asymmetric and not perfectly round. Pearls are known to absorb moisture, so when worn by the bride, body moisture is absorbed and some believe a memory from the day is encapsulated, so when they’re passed down, your ancestors will be with you. I love headbands, as they add some laid-back luxe which is what Wilden London is all about. Whether you’ve chosen the princess ball gown, or the silk trouser suit, a head band both elevates and grounds your look. Ashley Wild makes a pretty, two-strand headband with celestial star-shaped pearls which is very sweet and laid back, I would wear this with either a simpler silk dress, or a ball gown. The Lucky Sixpence has a range of celestial crowns and halos, that act as an elevated statement piece when worn with a sleek silk dress, or as the crowning glory with an already dazzling gown. I also love the crystal star hair pins, which when worn in scattered clusters look magical. Florals worn in the hair are gorgeous, from flower crowns to arrangements, they’ll always be beautiful. Gwenda at Bohotanical is a floral genius and can create and invent anything you ask of her. She specialises in dried, preserved and faux flowers, meaning that you treasure your pieces forever. https://rebeccareesphotography.com; https://kfines.com https://zachandgrace.co.uk; www.ashleywildbridal.co.uk https://devlinphotos.co.uk; www.theluckysixpence.co.uk https://devlinphotos.co.uk; www.theluckysixpence.co.uk https://devlinphotos.co.uk www.bohotanical.co.uk EMILIE CREASE, MAY & GRACE BRIDAL BOUTIQUE www.mayandgracebridal.com We love nothing more than layering your look with a show stopping veil or cape. This adds a sense of fun, drama and luxury. It’s a chance to add some fashion or bold texture without compromising your style, creating photos that you can treasure forever. The fact that your veil is removable you can essentially have two looks. Another fab way of adding flare and panache to your bridal look is with interchangeable accessories. Try a bold beaded headband for the ceremony then perhaps soften your look for the reception by swapping for a floral comb or drapey hair vine. FLOWERS 59 DRESSING THE BRIDAL PARTY
