Your Yorkshire Wedding - March/April 2021 (Issue 47)

Q&A Our local pros answer your questions Fashion and Beauty TREND REPORT As I’ve not been able to visit any boutiques yet, can you tell me what new trends and looks I should be looking out for? It’s been a tough year thanks to the pandemic, and in many cases it’s been hard for some bridal retailers to choose their new collections in time for the post-festive influx of newly engaged brides. However, with magazines like Your Yorkshire Wedding going digital, as well as various other online platforms, we’ve had the opportunity to view the latest styles that would have been hitting the catwalks at the biggest trade shows. Our thirst for all things wedding has been quenched! Sleeves are making a huge comeback. From floaty chiffon detachable styles to fitted lace on illusion tulle, we have the sleeve- lovers covered. The new 2021 Whimsical Beauty collection from Nicola Anne features gorgeous detachable sleeves on some of its gowns – perfect for those brides who want to have a different look from day to night in the cooler months. We’re arranging to have this British-made collection in the boutique as soon as possible after reopening – get in touch to find out more.

It may sound obvious, but in the lead-up to your day, drink as much water as possible. Use a hydrating face mask two to three times a week, and look for ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, which is super- hydrating, and vitamin C for brightening the complexion. If possible, I would go lightweight for the base; it’s not always necessary to have full-on foundation. Some CC creams and tinted moisturisers give enough coverage as well as looking less heavy on the skin. Team this with radiance fluid, a little translucent powder and concealer. Finish your base with a subtle highlighter on the high points of the face to create that dewy feel. For a spring wedding, I would opt for a soft, bright lip; something that provides a pop of colour, perhaps to match your bouquet. For your eyes, opt for neutral shades with long lashes. Complete the look with blush in soft coral or pink on the cheeks.
