Your Yorkshire Wedding - November/December 2020 (Issue 45)

Q&A Our local pros answer your questions Fashion and Beauty Richard Designs BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL I’m worried my simple dress is too plain for my colourful wedding – how do I add some fun to it with accessories? Firstly, your dress is what you’ve chosen, and the style obviously suits you so don’t panic it’s too plain. Gone are the days when bridal looks have to be white and boring; adding colour to your outfit is so simple and will help you make a statement to set your look apart and tie in with your theme. You can add as much or as little colour as you like, depending on how brave you’re feeling! The trend for colourful accessories has really taken off this year, and you can add a flash of colour in many ways from hair accessories and jewellery to shoes or even a striking veil. The trick is not to over-accessorise. For example, you can add some drama with statement earrings and keep your headpiece simple or vice versa. We hand-craft a beautiful range of hair accessories, which are beaded in a bright array of hues. The main thing is to have fun with colour and don’t be shy – rock that statement necklace or rainbow-infused hairpiece for a real wow factor on our special day.

How do I accessorise it to give a festive feel and keep the chill off? My heart goes out to all the couples who were ready to celebrate their wedding and have had to postpone because of the pandemic. If you’re now planning to tie the knot during the festive season, there are ways to keep your gorgeous spring gown while keeping the goosebumps at bay! Adding some stylish faux fur can give you a luxurious winter-themed look. Who doesn’t love the feel of faux fur to keep you warm on the chilliest of days? The boutique proudly stocks a lovely collection of jackets and wraps from Richard Designs. Available in ivory, honey and charcoal hues, you can find the perfect option to transform your gown from spring to winter without compromising on style. Just add cosy log fires, twinkling fairylights and mulled wine! Kerensa Dyson | Bijou Bridal Boutique | www.bijoubridalboutique.co.uk ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS What’s your top winter beauty tip? I love to use a stronger lip shade for autumn and winter weddings. Depending on the theme of the day and the style of dress, a strong lip can look sensational. What product or treatment can’t you live without? A good skincare regime and SPF is an absolute must! I’m not a make-up wipe fan and definitely not a baby wipe for the face. A good step-by-step skincare routine and a double cleanse is best – and it doesn’t have to cost the earth. What question do you get asked most by clients? I often get asked if make-up will stay on all day. The answer is yes, if you have it professionally applied by an experienced artist with good products and knowledge. All this will keep touch-ups to a minimum. Kate Pymm | Kate Pymm Make-Up | https://katepymm.com https://lissa alexandra.com 70
