dress so don’t be afraid to ask. This will come in handy when it comes to picking ‘the one’. Before you make the decision consider additional costs. Will there be alterations charges? How much will your veil, shoes and accessories be?
Menswear
Pick a suit that is complimentary to your bride. It’s important for the groom to look his best on the day but remember it’s not a competition. Set a budget and decide whether you want to hire or buy your suit. Bespoke tailoring can be very costly but the end results are priceless. Before hiring your outfi t make sure that there will be enough suits available for your groomsmen. If the shop offers accident cover on all wedding attire, take it! Don’t leave it until the last minute.
There are so many different fabrics, colours and styles to choose from and it’s vital that you co-ordinate with the rest of your wedding theme. Start looking at wedding suits around six to nine months before the wedding date to ensure that there is
enough time to get properly fi tted and make sure you are completely comfortable.
Beauty
For many brides getting into shape is their biggest goal. However it doesn’t mean that you need to crash diet or throw yourself into a grueling fi tness regime. Consider joining a local fi tness class? Cut out bad food and replace it with fruit. Drink plenty of water and you’ll notice the difference in your skin. If budgets allow, experts recommend that brides have a facial every four weeks and the last one a week before the wedding. A professional make-up artist will have
the best quality brands and make-up to hand, and they will know how to make you look your absolute best on your big day. Book a couple of practice runs, too. If budgets are tight, take advantage of the free beauty service at your local department store.
