FASHION Girls' Pearls 9908 views
Traditionally, the bride wears pearls on the wedding day. Representing purity and innocence, pearls are the perfect wedding day accessory. But pearls are not just for the twin-set society...
Yarwood-White has some 
beautiful pearl accessories, including the wow-factor headdress, Fern Hair Vine (£165) - a fab alternative to a traditional tiara. Worn on the top, back or side of your hair, it is made with ivory freshwater pearls and subtle Swarovski crystals. 
Lustrous Jewellery pearl boutique has a pretty bridal collection made with naturally cultured pearls. We love the Lilac Teardrop Pearl Necklace (£78) with freshwater pearls dangling from a silver chain. 
Catherine at Daisy Chain Accessories says Pearl & Crystal Cluster hairpins (£19.99 for six) are a hot trend right now. Perfect for the vintage look, they are a great addition to a hair updo or a lovely alternative to a tiara.

FASHION Your Dream Dress 11723 views
We dream of owning a fairytale wedding dress and looking truly gorgeous as we float down the aisle. But often the reality of finding the perfect dress is different.
While we may want to look like Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s or Scarlett O’Hara in Gone with the Wind, our body shape, skin tone, posture and individual style all have an impact on what type of dress will really look good. So here are a few top tips from Feathers of Isca to help you find your dream dress.
• Decide on your budget and try to stick to it.
• Ask the experts what shape of dress will flatter your figure.
• Be aware that if you ask six different people for advice, you will likely get 6 different answers!
• Always keep in mind the style of your venue - your dress needs to suit the setting.
• When choosing bridesmaids’ dresses, choose a shape to flatter the individual.• Choose a wrap to go with your dress for Winter weddings to keep you warm on a cold January morning.
• When ordering your gown, buy an acid free storage box to keep your dress in afterwards. Most bridal shops stock them or try The Empty Box Company.

FASHION Veiled Beauty 13196 views
WeddingPath's Forum is often buzzing with the 'veil' word... To veil or not to veil - that is the question.
Funnily, even b2bs not keen on the idea, changed their minds after trying one on! 'When do you ever get the chance again?'(rhpm), 'I was absolutely sure that I didn't want to wear a veil until I tried one on' (SoloLeigh) and from Already Married alanakelk 'I loved my veil, it made me feel like a true bride'.
As usual, the WeddingPath Forum was packed with advice!
Top tip for windy weather: 'I'm having small diamante droplets on the edge so that my veil won't blow away' (leilaandbarry).
Trying on a veil? 'Try Bhs - they have them out to try on - you'll get a good idea if you like it or not' (mrstrott).
Styling ideas from an Already Married... 'Your veil needn't cover your tiara. If you don't put the veil over your face it should sit just behind your tiara anyway. You can also attach them to the back of your head if you're having your hair up, so again your tiara is on show. You can also take your veil off if you don't want to wear it all day' (seona).Have you thought about the length of veil? Ultimately, you need to have chosen your dress to know what kind of veil will work. Strapless gowns are great with veils, but if you have a lot of beautiful detail on the back of your dress, it is a shame to cover it up.
Before getting onto the veil trail, here are some typical styles and lengths.
Blusher or shoulder length veil is what most brides opt for. It is worn on top of the head and can be easily pushed back. Just make sure it is not too voluminous or your face will get lost!
Fingertip is another popular length. As its name suggests, it just reaches to the tips of your fingers. Capturing 50s chic, it looks great edged with lace or satin and is figure-flattering as it draws attention to your waist.
Chapel or long veil reaches to the ground. It has a dreamy effect worn over a full-length gown and is perfect for a formal church wedding. It can also be worn at the back of the head so that tall brides don't get too much added height.
Cathedral length veils fall like a train behind the dress and are usually only seen at Royal weddings or very grand occasions!
