10 Ways to get show-stopping bridal glamour
-
Choose a dress with a plunging neckline and pearl, crystal and diamanté detailing.
-
Add a vintage-style diamanté brooch to a simple dress for understated glamour, or attach it to ribbon and wear it in your hair.
-
A full A-line skirt will create a romantic silhouette, perfect for a feminine bridal look. For a more contemporary style, look to designers like Ian Stuart who have perfected the voluminous skirt.
-
For a glamorous evening style, choose a fitted slinky dress with fishtail train. Complete the look with a sparkly choker.
-
A statement headpiece or tiara will ensure you wow guests with your dramatic style. Choose one with plenty of diamanté and crystal detail for ultimate show-stopping sparkle. AB rainbow crystals are perfect for catching the light.
-
A cathedral-length veil is the perfect accessory for true bridal style. Edge with a rich satin trim for chic elegance or a sprinkle of diamantés for romantic sparkle.
-
Choose a dress with heavily jewelled detailing, and keep the look chic with a metallic clutch bag and co-ordinating shoes.
-
Customise your dress by adding an over-sized bow or sash - this will have more impact if you choose one in a contrasting and vibrant colour.
-
Get inspiration from the catwalk trends for 2008/9. Ruffles and layers have been big news for this season, so introduce them into your dress for a romantic, on-trend style.
-
Asymmetric details across the shoulders look contemporary and stylish - add a clip or corsage for extra impact.
