DRESSING THE BRIDAL PARTY 39 TO IMPRESS Dress Top looks for your bridal party GIFT KENRICK, LOVE LANE LONDON www.lovelanelondon.com Statement sleeves have become a more prominent part of the bridal scene in recent years, along with cathedral veils and natural hair and make-up. It’s a modern and understated take on the princess look. Many brides have shunned the traditional princess ball gowns and opted for modern dresses with thighhigh slits paired with aisle-sweeping cathedral veils. It’s a great way to make a statement and show off your wedding shoes!

Take your look from day to night with Eloise from the latest Josephine Scott London collection.
