An Essex Wedding - January/February 2024 (Issue 114)

Q&A Fashion and beauty Our local experts offer their sound advice RAZZLE DAZZLE I’ve bought a dress with no embellishments, and now I’m worried it’s too plain. How can I add the wow-factor to it? There are many ways to add the wow factor to a plain wedding dress. You can try accessorising with a bold statement necklace, dramatic earrings, or a statement hairpiece. Adding a belt or sash adorned with jewels or crystals can also elevate your dress. Another option is to pair the dress with a stunning veil that could be heavily embellished with pearls or sparkles to match the chosen belt. Alternatively, you could add a cape for a dramatic and bold effect. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different options and find what works best for your personal style and theme. Linda Thompson, Jadore Bridalwear https://jadorebridalwear.co.uk IN LOVE WITH THE SHAPE OF YOU I love multiway dresses, however some of my bridesmaids have a larger bust. Can they be worn with a bra? Absolutely! Probably the most commonly asked question. Our multiways all come with a complimentary and custom sized bust bandeau for each bridesmaid. This not only covers the bra but gives added support. This is great for bridesmaids wanting to wear a bra but is also ideal for breastfeeding mums. Our bust bandeaus give added coverage to the back, sides and chest for any bridesmaids who prefer to not go backless and braless. Our multiways have endless ways to style to suit all shapes, sizes and ages ensuring each bridesmaid feels comfortable and confident on the day! Happy bridesmaids = a very happy bride. Our madeto-order multiway dresses and jumpsuits are the perfect option for any bridal party.
