Lady In Silver
| Q | What is your advice on creating a winter wonderland wedding? |
| A | Sue Marshall says: The mother-of-the-bride or -groom should always be sure to take account of the climate when choosing an outfit and opt either for one with sleeves, a jacket or a bolero. A little fur shrug can look very glamorous too in the winter and will keep the all-important ladies warm if photos are being taken outside. Navy blue, burgundy or dark greens are popular choices for autumn or winter weddings, however I love a vibrant colour such as Ispirato's dress in jade green, which would look fabulous with an oyster-coloured fur shrug. If your wedding is around Christmastime, then this John Charles silver dress with feathered sleeves, diamanté and a full skirt is both glamorous and warm while giving off a real Christmassy vibe. You can match it with a silver feathered hat; or if you want to go one step further, a silver outfit like this one could also be teamed with a hat or fascinator in festive green or red. Psst... Both dresses discussed, plus fur jackets and shrugs are available at Lady M Occasion Wear in Newick, Lewes. |

Mum's the word
| Q | How do you inject your wedding day with the spirit of spring? |
| A | Helen Downes says: The huge trends for the 2023 mothers-of-the-bride and groom see a return to soft, flowing fabrics, and maxi-style dresses in bold floral prints. After the last few sombre years, pastels are on the wane with bright colours and geometric patterns now proving more popular. Our leading designers Linea Raffaelli and Couture Club by Rosa Clara are leading the way with this trend. Always popular for a classic English wedding too is the more traditional dress and jacket combo, ever stylish, this look never dates. Condici, the famed English company is renowned for these timeless designs. We have a huge selection of innovative styles and classic pieces to suit every taste. |
