REGIONAL FASHION 59 MOST SUITABLE Where? Newcastle Why us? “Most Suitable is a specialist, appointment based wedding shop in Newcastle, offering a stylish range of wedding suits, all exclusive to the store,” says Most Suitable’s Nicola Lumley. “We solely style wedding parties, as we believe in providing a unique, stylish, and extra-special look for the groom and his groomsmen, rather than broadening it to the general public or your wedding guests. We don’t need to see your whole party in the first instance – you can bring whoever you wish for your initial appointment, be it your fiancé, best man or family members. We stock designers including Shelby Menswear and Gatsby, and can cater for adults, children and babies. With our men’s sizes ranging from 34-60, you’re very much in the best possible hands.” Top tip: “Bring your wedding ideas along to your appointment, as this way we can provide you with expert styling advice. We can also help you with any additional tailoring, should it be needed, to get our signature, super-cool, super-sharp look.” https://mostsuitable.net EVIE BLACK OCCASION WEAR Where? Durham Why us? “We specialise in occasion wear perfect for mother of the bride or groom,” explains Evie Black’s Charlotte Graham. “We are a complete one-stop shop with bespoke private appointments, where ladies can try on as many styles, designs and colours as they wish. To complete each outfit, we also have many hats to choose from, and of course, not forgetting the shoes and handbag to match! We stock designers including Lizabella, Ispirato and Gabriela Sanchez, and cater for a wide range of sizes from 8 to 30. Trend-wise, millinery is still very strong, as well as outfits that can be worn again for other occasions, which in the current climate is very popular. What’s important to note is that lots of ladies visit us and think they know exactly what suits them – however, on many occasions they are totally surprised when we make suggestions, instead purchasing something completely different that makes them feel fabulous!” Top tip: “Make sure your wedding party is totally comfortable with what they are wearing, so they don’t worry about how they look for the wedding photos. If a lady feels comfortable then her confidence will follow!” https://evieblack.co.uk THE LITTLE SEAMSTRESS Where? North Shields Why us? “I make bespoke garments that are unique to the customer, and are made to their exact measurements,” says The Little Seamstress’ Raffaella Orazi. “My clients are involved in the creation of their outfit and can see their garment develop through the fitting process. Because of this I don’t tend to work around trends – instead each customer has their own vision of exactly what it is they want; and I am that person to turn their dreams in to a reality! For me, it’s all about your wedding party wearing something that’s suited to their own individual style. I’d advise against making your bridesmaids wear something they’d never normally choose, just because you think this is what they should wear to your wedding – you want them to be as happy on the day as you are.” Top tip: “When you go to your fitting it’s important that you have the correct undergarments and shoes with you that you will be wearing on the day.” www.thelittleseamstress.co.uk www.kaylawrenphotographer.com www.kaylawrenphotographer.com www.zoeemilie.co.uk www.zoeemilie.co.uk www.zoeemilie.co.uk
