FASHION Pearly Queen 13042 views
Sometimes traditional is best. But as Jen at Radiance Boutique shows us, even the most classic styles can be given a modern twist.
Jen says 'My best seller this year has been the pearl charm style bracelet (£55), which I believe reflects brides wanting to add a modern twist to their style yet still wearing classic, timeless pearls."If you want some ideas on giving the classic day look a touch of modernity, go to the Radiance Boutique's online style guide. Jen says 'simplicity is key: the classic dress is all about cut and structure'. A classic sweetheart neckline is ultimately flattering, especially teamed up with a full A-line skirt. When it comes to choosing accessories
to go with your dress, you need to pick styles that complement, not overpower it. Jen says, the classic triple pearl bracelet (£35) and earrings (£25) are perfect. And for your hair? Choose a half up and half down style and accessorise with pearl and crystal hair comb (£20). 
The collection of earrings, bracelets, necklaces and hair combs at Radiance Boutique is hand crafted with Swarovski crystal and crystal pearls. Individually made to order, each piece is totally unique! -
FASHION Wedding Dress Trends 13353 views
The National Wedding Show at Earl's Court last month gave us all a sneak peek at what's in store for 2009 brides. So here are some of the top trends from the catwalk...
GLAMOROUS
'Oh-so glam' was a strong look on the catwalk at Earl's Court this season. Slinky silhouettes, halter necks and revealing backs were key trends. Luxurious silks, sheeny satins and fabrics with plenty of red-carpet appeal were strutted down the runway getting the look off to a tee. Perfect for evening weddings or even for brides tying the knot overseas, we think 'understated glamour' is a top trend for 2009. WeddingPath brides get ready to turn heads as you walk up the aisle!
PERFECT GRACE
Strapless is here to stay and definitely goes hand in hand with the new sleek glamour. At the same time, the simple strapless look is being dressed up with this season's love of frills. Layers of ruffles, tulle and net create must-have detail. Feast your eyes on pattern, texture and intricate detailing!
UNDERCOVER
Glamour is given a touch of sophistication with gorgeous shrugs, boleros and wraps to drape around bare-shouldered brides. Lacy boleros are right on trend - ideal if you want a little bit of 'cover-up' for the ceremony.Images © National Wedding Shows

FASHION Designed for You 6794 views
Jennifer Scott of ‘Bespoken For’ reveals her secrets to buying perfect wedding day jewellery at the same time as staying on budget.
Choosing your wedding day jewellery is just as special as finding your dream dress. So take time to find a jewellery designer who can give you advice - and who is prepared to design within your budget. Many designers offer no obligation advice and consultations so be sure to check them out.
Your wedding day tiara is not going to get much use after the big day, so consider alternatives such as hair combs or other hair accessories. You'll find pearls and crystals look great in your hair even with everyday jeans. And of course, there are always special occasions where a tiara may not fit the bill, but a hair comb does!
If you don’t want to keep your tiara, have it made into something else. If your tiara is made with beads and crystals, a jeweller can make it into something wearable after the day, like a necklace, earrings, or a bracelet. Some tiara and jewellery designers offer this service.
Finally, shop around. Look through magazines and websites so that you have a clear idea of what you want. A jewellery designer can probably make your dream come true - and you'll still be on budget!

FASHION Dress Mess 9717 views
Choosing your wedding dress is one of the most exciting parts of planning the wedding. So why not make the most of your dress and go for an after the big day 'mess the dress' session. If you are not too 'messy' it can always go to the cleaners afterwards!
'Trash the dress' is so out of tune with the economic flavour of the moment that US brides are turning to a less frivolous version and going for a 'mess the dress' session instead. Wedding Consultant, Candice Benson, Founder of The Finishing Touch, Wedding & Event Planning, based in New Jersey says, “Brides are increasingly looking for ways to stay traditional but add elements of youth and personality to their weddings. A Mess the Dress session is a perfect way to bring that out.” Although the very dramatic ‘trashing’ of the dress, which can sometimes end in the dress being burned, gets more widely recorded, a lot more brides are participating in Mess the Dress, posing where they are likely to get a bit dirty or perhaps wet. Some photographers can even take underwater shots of couples, which have an amazing artistic effect.
Here in the UK, photographer Chanelle Segerius says: 'the dresses generally survive the experience and are absolutely fine after a dry clean. The point of these shoots is not to go out and destroy the dress as such. Here in the UK we call our sessions "Shoot The Dress" because of the fashion style element.' The shoot can be done the day after - or even a few months after - the wedding, making the most of wearing your wedding dress!Image © Norman Gilbert Photographer, Chanelle Segerius-Bruce
