FASHION Girls' Pearls

Traditionally, the bride wears pearls on the wedding day. Representing purity and innocence, pearls are the perfect wedding day accessory. But pearls are not just for the twin-set society...

Yarwood-White has some beautiful pearl accessories, including the wow-factor headdress, Fern Hair Vine (£165) - a fab alternative to a traditional tiara. Worn on the top, back or side of your hair, it is made with ivory freshwater pearls and subtle Swarovski crystals.

Lustrous Jewellery pearl boutique has a pretty bridal collection made with naturally cultured pearls. We love the Lilac Teardrop Pearl Necklace (£78) with freshwater pearls dangling from a silver chain.

Catherine at Daisy Chain Accessories says Pearl & Crystal Cluster hairpins (£19.99 for six) are a hot trend right now. Perfect for the vintage look, they are a great addition to a hair updo or a lovely alternative to a tiara.

FASHION Your Dream Dress

We dream of owning a fairytale wedding dress and looking truly gorgeous as we float down the aisle. But often the reality of finding the perfect dress is different.

While we may want to look like Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s or Scarlett O’Hara in Gone with the Wind, our body shape, skin tone, posture and individual style all have an impact on what type of dress will really look good. So here are a few top tips from Feathers of Isca to help you find your dream dress.

• Decide on your budget and try to stick to it.

• Ask the experts what shape of dress will flatter your figure.

• Be aware that if you ask six different people for advice, you will likely get 6 different answers!

• Always keep in mind the style of your venue - your dress needs to suit the setting.

• When choosing bridesmaids’ dresses, choose a shape to flatter the individual.

• Choose a wrap to go with your dress for Winter weddings to keep you warm on a cold January morning.

• When ordering your gown, buy an acid free storage box to keep your dress in afterwards. Most bridal shops stock them or try The Empty Box Company.
