Your Hampshire & Dorset Wedding - Jan/Feb 2018 (Issue 72)

Don’t forget the extra finishing touches to complete the look. Creatiques Bridal Boutique in Southsea not only specialises in bridal gowns but offers a range of hand-selected accessories including veils, tiaras and shoes from designers and brands such as Ivory & Co and Daisy Day. Visit creatiques.co.uk “We’ve seen a huge influx of Bride’s opting to wear a veil on their big day,” says Kayleigh Middleton from the Creatiques team. “Of course, the whole world was talking about Megan Markle’s gorgeous, hand-embroidered veil and since then they seem to have come round full circle. Teaming dresses with the right veil is a beautiful moment, and currently we’re really lucky in the industry to have the variety of materials now available. An elegant mikado gown looks wonderful with a simple edged three-quarter length veil to frame the body and offer extended clean lines to the bridal silhouette. Our favourite edged veil of the moment is the Daisy Day N25 in ivory, with gorgeous satin edging and dotted sparkle and pearl detail. However, my best-loved veil of all time has to be the three-quarter length Daisy Day L11 in ivory. It has the perfect tulle consistency to add a little drama, and the lace appliqués are a perfect match for almost all lace dresses.” All in the detail Something new Extra glam Add a little sparkle to your big-day footwear with these glitzy clips from Hampshire-based Freya Rose renowned for her award-winning bridal shoe designs.

Her newly launched Lylla collection reflects this with rose gold mixed and accented with silver. “The glow of the muted pink tones of rose quartz, morganite and soft pink diamonds against the violet and lilac hues of tiny pink and purple sapphires, pavé-set along one edge, works beautifully,” she explains. Visit charlottecornelius.co.uk In the world of bespoke wedding and engagement rings the desire for warm rose gold hues looks set to stay. “It enhances vintage themes with dainty halo styles or alternatively, pairs perfectly with the more earthy trend for raw or rose-cut black, grey and the speckled ‘salt and pepper’ diamonds,” says Charlotte. “18ct rose gold adds depth and impact when paired with ever-enduring platinum which is still the pinnacle of precious metals.” – Charlotte Artemis headpiece ivoryandcotiaras.co.uk 64
