Your South Wales Wedding - November/December 2022 (Issue 88)

Q&A Fashion Our local expert offer advice on how to look your big-day best SEARCHING FOR THE ONE I’m nervous about my first bridal appointment. What should I expect and take with me? It’s easier said than done, we know, but try not to worry about your first dress appointment. This time is meant to be magical and stressfree, so let yourself be taken care of and leave your worries and doubts at the door. When considering what to bring with you, it’s vital that you have an open mindset. Without which, you may struggle to see beyond a concrete look that you have in mind, and, more often than not, brides leave having bought a completely different dress than the one they initially had in mind. Despite this, it may be useful to your stylist if you were to bring images of your favourite styles, necklines and silhouettes that you have seen online or in magazines. Finally, it’s important that you bring with you a carefully-picked entourage. We would ideally recommend that you bring no more than four guests, to avoid an overwhelming influx of opinions. Whilst it’s always nice to get the advice of your nearest and dearest, keep in mind that this dress is for you, and it should ultimately be your decision. Remember to bring yourself, a smile, and high energy!

What looks are popular at the moment? Burnt orange is a beautiful choice for autumn weddings. Here at Baroque Boutique, we believe simplicity is key when it comes to accessorising. Metallic gold, silver or bronze would work perfectly without taking anything away from the dress. Always lift up with colour, for example match your hat colour to your dress colour, as this will help elongate your figure. Coryn Emma www.baroqueboutique.co.uk 76
