inspiration for wedding guests…

WEDDING GUEST INSPIRATION
I’m sooooooo looking forward to attending my cousins wedding this year, it has got me thinking! What shall I wear, can I rework my current wardrobe, how can I put a new spin on my accessories… should I buy something new?

I know that most of my clients feel the stress to dress, especially for events. If you are attending a wedding this year, I’d alway be recommending to try and shop your own wardrobe, borrow from a friend, buy second hand or rent your outfit from a rental clothing platform site like HURR. It’s a nice way to get an up market revamp, without the cost of buying full price. Here, I’ve grabbed a few show stoppers from HURR which are available to rent…

CONSIDERED PURCHASES
Of course, if you see something you love - then also go for it! Life is too short to stress, (but always try to consider the life of the piece you are investing in).

When it comes to purchases, my main rules for myself are now;

• a great quality of fabric (sustainable),

• the absolute wow factor (that I can pass down the line),

• buying from a small business/designer

• something unique that I will treasure for years to come.

I actually bought my wedding headpiece before my actual wedding dress! It was the show stopper for me and I try and wear it at any given opportunity!

THE POWER IN DRESSING IN YOUR PALETTE
You know by now (if you follow me!), that by shopping in your colour palette, you are already putting your best ‘YOU’ forward. It’s worth the investment of a colour analysis to get you into the right zone. It helps with dressing in your colours, tonal dressing, how to wear colours and even what make up to wear.

In light of this, as a little guide to dressing in colour, Nicole has put together a digital shopping board for each season. Nicole’s brief was to look at all shapes, sizes and budgets. Here it is! If you would like a PDF copy of this guide, simply email Nicole@thecolourfuledit.com
