When thinking about the perfect silhouette to flatter everyone you can rarely go wrong with a wrap dress. By no means a new trend, it's a classic style and being so versatile it looks great whatever the body shape. Victoria Moore of Victoria Lou Bridal (www.victorialou.co.uk) adds, “Are your bridesmaids different shapes, sizes and height? Do they like a particular neckline or want to cover up a certain area? It can be hard to find one dress to suit an entire bridal party and find a dress that will complement each of your maids. Our Victoria Lou Multiway Dresses could be the ideal dress!"

This pretty picture is from our Dressing the Bridal Party feature in issue 63 of Your West Midlands Wedding, where you can also be inspired for the mother-of-the-bride outfit and also the groom's outfit.

As a gin lover myself, I was excited to learn of Pinkster Gin's latest launch. Their new Hedgepig Gin Liqueurs are not only a great addition to the big-day bar, they're helping to preserve our prickly friends too.
Made by Cambridgeshire-based Pinkster using fruit from local orchards or foraged from the region's hedgerows, 50 pence is being donated to the British Hedgehog Preservation Society for every bottle sold.
Available in four deliciously fruity flavours they can be served with cheese, desserts or topped up with prosecco as a wedding cocktail.
