Your Yorkshire Wedding - November/December 2019 (Issue 39)

Q&A Our local pros solve your problems Fashion and Beauty WINTER WARMERS What dress styles and accessories should I consider for my winter wedding? Winter is a wonderful season in which to tie the knot. For me, it conjures up images of log fires and long walks in the countryside, which you can take inspiration from with a palette of rich, warm colours. With Christmas falling in the middle, a little sparkle doesn’t go amiss either! Try styling your day with a palette of burgundy, hunter green and midnight blue with metallic accents and plenty of glitz. Brides can opt for a gorgeous gown with a long sleeve or a dress that’s designed to have a jacket over the top. I love the Dorothea gown by Alan Hannah (pictured). It’s a gorgeous strapless Mikado style with a Swarovski belt and matching lace bolero – perfect for keeping out the chill. To give warmth to the bridal party, why not choose beautiful faux fur accessories to bring out their inner snow queen? Kerensa Dyson | Bijou Bridal Boutique | bijoubridalboutique.co.uk LET IT GLOW We’re having a cosy December wedding. How do I create a radiant look on the day and how should I prep my winter skin? I have put together my suggested skincare routine and daily essentials to keep your skin glowing all year long - even when the sun isn’t shining! ❤ Hydrate . You can detox and cleanse simply by drinking lots of water! Upping your fluid intake improves the skin’s elasticity and helps to keep fine lines away. ❤ Cleanse . If your skin is left feeling tight after you’ve cleansed, you’re probably using the wrong cleanser! It’s likely the product is too strong for your skin type and is making your moisture levels too low. Try my favourite product: Charlotte Tilbury’s Multi Miracle Glow. ❤ Moisturise . Moisturising gives your skin the help it needs to stay hydrated all day. It also protects it from daily pollution and sunlight, which helps to reduce wrinkles and keeps the skin supple. I love Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream – it really does work wonders! Following these three steps will ensure your skin is flawless and prepped for your big-day make-up.

I love this theme because it gives you the licence to sparkle and shine! It makes me think of red carpet hairstyles and there’s nothing more glamorous than Hollywood waves. If you have long hair, I’d recommend this timeless look. Jewellery plays a big part too. You can maximise the impact with statement earrings and I love the trend for star-shaped hair accessories. With a winter wedding it’s worth thinking about the weather. If you’ll be spending time outside and the weather is unpredictable, then an up do is a great option. A black tie theme also lends itself well to a dramatic veil, so perhaps go for a look that would complement this. I love a sophisticated chignon, which you can wear in a natural, textured way or a smoother, smarter look. If you want something more fashion- led, then a low voluminous ponytail would look incredible.
