Q&A Fashion Local experts offer advice on how to look your big-day best FALL IN LOVE My hubby-to-be is having six groomsmen, and we’d like them to wear something suitable for our autumn wedding without costing a fortune. How can we dress them to fit the theme without breaking the bank? Embrace the warm and earthy tones of autumn with suits in hues like burgundy, navy, forest green, or charcoal. These colours not only match the season but also radiate elegance. If you’re looking for something off-the-rack, look for ready-to-wear suits and tuxedos available in various sizes. These options ensure a comfortable fit while being budget-friendly. Affordable fabrics include wool blends and microfibers. These materials offer a high-end appearance without the premium cost. Enquire about bulk discounts for group purchases so you can dress your groomsmen stylishly while enjoying a reduced rate.

Most brides with off-the-shoulder wedding dresses prefer a hair style that leaves their shoulders bare and is softer in appearance. Shoulders are quite often given a soft glow by make-up artists to highlight them, so it would be a shame to cover them. Consider a soft chignon, a classic low bun, or, for a look that is more boho, a low-textured soft bun with front framing pieces and hair at the nape left out. Something to consider with an off-the-shoulder dress is veil placement. A single long, cathedral-length veil will naturally fall behind the shoulders, whereas a two-tier or fingertip veil will sometimes hide your shoulders. To help eliminate this, you can place the veil in a lower position to help it stay behind your shoulders. Claire Hateley www.hairstylistworcester.co.uk 76
