HOT TOPIC Top advice for the perfect wedding DRESS SENSE What styles and fabrics would you suggest for a January wedding? Weddings in January can be so romantic but ensuring you’re warm enough is essential to enjoying your special day. Winter wedding dresses are traditionally fuller-bodied gowns with elegant sleeves, lace or sparkle details – just like our Rosa Clara gown called Calea. We’ve seen wedding gown traditions become more relaxed in more recent years, allowing more freedom in style choices. Materials for wedding dresses can vary, and some are better than others depending on the season. Heavier fabrics are thicker and means you’ll be warm while still looking amazing. As well as the gown, don’t forget about shawls and shrugs that can be a warm addition that’s still stylish – fur and velvet materials are perfect for winter. Here at Iconic Bride, we’ve recently opened our new bridesmaid store with beautiful dresses in warm tones for winter with red, burnt orange and emerald shades. Each one would look great with a shawl or shrug to match the bride. Tina Wade | Iconic Bride | www.iconicbride.co.uk LOOK YOUR BEST I’m worried about the weather ruining my hair at our December wedding. Do you have ideas or styles I should go for to ensure I look great all day? Unfortunately, the weather is one thing you can’t control on your wedding day, but there are a few tips to consider when picking a hairstyle. Firstly, try not to worry too much about your hair because if there’s torrential rain on the day, which happens to be good luck, then the chances of getting outdoor photos are slim. Wearing your hair up is the obvious choice to keep everything looking its best in bad weather. Each strand will be secured and smoothed with products (even with textured looks), so you won’t have to worry about it anything blowing around or going frizzy. Consider if your hair holds a curl well if you’re looking to wear your hair down or in a half-up half-down style. If not, the curls might not withstand the wind or the damp. Ultimately, try not to worry about anything too much and chat through any concerns with your stylist – we all know plenty of tricks to keep your hair looking perfect all day, whatever the weather!
