Morning and Spring/Summer weddings:

  • No veil – a fresh flower, tiara or hat will be more suitable.
  • Remember to leave your previous wedding ring at home!
  • Makeup must not be too heavy – keep it fresh, and certainly not overdone!

Afternoon and Winter/Autumn weddings:

  • Darker colours with heavier fabric e.g. brocade, georgette, velvet and richer colours: royal, burgundy, navy, olive green, grey.
  • A-symmetric lines are always very flattering in a dress or pant suit.
  • You can consider beige, winter white or pearl colours – only if it suits you!
  • You don’t have to wear a veil – a fresh flower, tiara or hat will be more suitable.
  • Makeup can be heavier, but the guests must still recognize you.
  • Darker cutex is better and remember to prepare your hands three months before the wedding to look good.
  • Don’t forget the groom – his tie, suit, shirt must coordinate with your outfit.
