CANTERBURY BRIDAL The
finishing touches
F
or Christchurch brides preparing for their summer weddings, it's safe to assume that months – if not years – of planning has taken place in advance. Brides this year may have already selected their dress, hair and make-up, but let's not forget the key accessories for brides this summer! The biggest bridal accessory trends are highly inuenced from bridal runways… Shoes Bridal shoes are adorned with lace, embellishments and gorgeous detailing. The classic white bridal shoe is still the ultimate, and highly desired by brides everywhere. A classic wedding shoe with a touch of modern detailing is a peep-toe design in ivory, with lace overlay. Look out for unique touches with diamantes, and luscious fabrics. Another option is to insert some colour on
your feet. You'll be certain to re-wear these heels another day! Look out for the key seasonal colours in shades of pink. Not only will these shoes be on trend, they'll be highly wearable too. Hair accessories Embellished headbands, colourful tiaras and lace hairnets are key features for brides this season. Jewelled headbands will insert a '20s-inspired design, injecting glamour and sass into any wedding outt. Headpieces will work with updos as well as long, owing locks. Veils Historically, veils concealed the bride from the groom on the wedding day but have since transitioned into more of a fashion statement designed to attract attention rather than offset it. Long veils such as ballerina, chapel or cathedral styles are all the rage for summer weddings! These sweeping styles add a sense of formality to the overall look and create a traditional silhouette. Birdcage veils are also on-trend. Reminiscent of 1920s starlets, these dainty veils range from full facial coverage to small pancake-styles.
