Your Surrey Wedding- October/November 2020 (Issue 85)

90 HERE COME THE GIRLS Q – I want my bridesmaids to wear coloured dresses that complement each other. What should we look for? Your bridesmaids also almost as important as your wedding gown, so it’s essential they look and feel amazing on your big day. Style has come a long way over the last few years and gone are the days where your friends have to wear the same dress. Get creative and try mixing it up with the same coloured gown in various styles or the same frock in different shades. This will enable you to create bespoke ensembles that fit your girls’ personalities and concerns. However, you do need to consider the challenges that this option can pose. Think about how the hue works with the overall look and feel of your day. With a bit of time, we’re absolutely certain you will be able to create a masterpiece that will capture your vision for the day. Your boutique will be able to guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have.

Do you have any suggestions? Everyone has different tastes, and some of us know what colours and styles suit our body shapes while others need a little bit of guidance and assistance to look the part. Whether your mum wants to stand out from the crowd or blend in, she will want to look her best for you. If it’s the low-key look she’s after, then you could opt for a simple gown and accessories with an amazing hat or unusual fascinator, a statement handbag or snazzy shoes. The outfit doesn’t need to be revealing to be sexy, but it should show off her body shape at its best. She will want to feel like the second best-dressed women at your wedding, so you can be as proud of her as she is of you.
