Outfits for Summer Weddings

Well the topic of the day seems to be wedding outfits for summer - what to wear! Already today I have 4 emails asking the same thing.

One lovely lady in particular is having a nightmare because she is pregnant and can't find a thing that she feels good in, and with the wedding coming up in August, she is starting to get slightly stressed out!!

A classic dress such as the Column Dress from Isabella Oliver looks stunning on any mum-to-be and is a great start! Then all you need to finish the look is a gorgeous pill box bag and perhaps a cuff on your arm and your done!

One of the best general tips I can give for ladies who need a maternity outfit for a special occasion is to learn how to accessorise!! Basically when you use accessories, you gain control over where you want the eye to be drawn and also they can be used in clever ways to make you look slimmer and longer!! Plus accessorising is a really easy, cheap and hassle free way of achieving on-trend looks at minimal cost when you’re pregnant. For instance if you are feeling self conscious about your bum, draw the eye up with a eye catching bib necklace, however if you feel like your boobs would give Jordan a run for her money, you can break up the volume of the bust with a pendant that falls in a V shape over the bust.

The great thing about accessories is that they fit you no matter what size you are, so you can still use them post-pregnancy when you’re a yummy mummy.

Accentuate your strong features...If you have great hair, then work with different styles and hair accessories to draw the eye up to your hair. If you have nice hands or petit wrists, ensure you always get your nails done. No matter which parts of your body you like the most or feel most comfortable with during pregnancy, use your creativity to think of ways of drawing more attention to those areas (which will in effect, draw the eye away from those bits you’re not so crazy about).
