Your West Midlands Wedding- August/September 2020 (Issue 69)

FLOWERS 77 LOOKING YOUR B ST How to look your big-day best I ncorporating colours into your big day is becoming increasingly more popular, so to help give you heaps of inspiration, we’ve chosen three on- trend hues and asked local suppliers how you can include it into your look. THE WOW -FACTOR PINK PINK LADIES Rebecca from The Dressing Rooms Bridal tells us how you can include this on-trend colour into your wedding dress. Rebecca says: Here at The Dressing Rooms Bridal, we love all things pink. If any of you have visited us, you’ll know this from our gorgeous interior. As bridal trends change every year, we’re noticing that each bride wants something bespoke and show-stopping. Pink, otherwise known as blush in the world of bridal, is becoming a favourite for our brides. There are some pretty floral shades and almost opaque versions available, each one is different and what is right for one, may not be right for another, but that’s fine as we’re all different. Many of our customers believe they will opt for an ivory or white gown, but once they start their fitting, their opinions soon change. We have an array of coloured gowns in-store, from nude to champagne and dusky rose. Some people believe pink gowns are meant to be bold, but that isn’t always true. These dresses can be very subtle, only visible in certain lights and can complement your skin tone perfectly. A wedding gown is always about personality and expressing it. Colour is a great way to show off your quirky style. We’ve found with many of our gowns, adding a contrasting colour to the underlayer of the skirt often makes the lace detailing stand out even more or change the look and feel of the dress completely. Even more exciting is that some of our blush dresses come with mini-versions for your flowergirls. How cute is that?! The Dressing Rooms Bridal www.thedressingroomsbridal.co.uk Lush in blush Jason Oneil from The Black Tie Coventry Ltd tells us how men can wear this hue with confidence. Jason explains: When it comes to incorporating pink into the groom’s look, remember less is more. By far the most popular way to introduce the colour is through neckwear or a handkerchief. We do hire some pretty jazzy waistcoats if you’d prefer something brighter. Pink goes well with most suit colours, but I find you can’t go wrong with matching it with midnight blue. Although we hire and sell lots of different suit and waistcoat combinations, we’ve found that tweed suits are the most popular option. The Black Tie Coventry Ltd www.black-tie-coventry.co.uk
