Your Surrey Wedding- Page number 94 - August/September 2021 (Issue 90)

CLASSIC ROMANCE Q – We’ve had to postpone our wedding until winter 2021, and I want to create an on-trend look. What looks and colours are likely to be popular? Remember that trends don’t last forever! Try not to worry about creating a ‘current’ look and go for something that you feel comfortable with. A classic look will never go out of style. Nobody wants to look back at their photographs and see some crazy trend that went out of date ages ago. With a winter wedding, go for subtle smoky eyes and be as daring as you like. Finish with a red carpet lip like Ruby Woo by MAC, or go for a softer nude such as Pillow Talk by Charlotte Tilbury.

Finding the perfect suppliers can be stressful but try to enjoy the process! Picture the morning of your wedding, where you’re sitting with a glass of fizz in your hand surrounded by your best girls and being pampered – it’s so exciting! Start your search by looking for a company that is local to you or your venue. They should have plenty of pictures of their work, so you can get a feel for their style, and have lots of reviews from happy brides. Don’t be afraid to contact companies with any questions you might have. Instagram is a great place to start or a directory site like ours, where you can enter your postcode and find professionals who are nearby along with all their social media handles, pictures, reviews and contact information. Once you’ve found one you like the look of, why not book a trial and use your gorgeous hair and make-up as an excuse for a nice evening out?

Do you have any suggestions? Your mother needs to choose a hue that suits her rather than trying to fit in with a colour scheme. She should try different styles to find what she feels most comfortable in. It’s likely to be a long day, so it’s worth considering a second pair of shoes to change into later. The S/S 2022 occasion wear collections will be arriving in stores from the end of December, so start looking straight after Christmas. Good luck!
