Dress it ... bridesmaid: Evening Pastels

Photo credit:
1. A basic tank top goes seamlessly with a texture maxi skirt. This J Crew stretch suiting tank is double layered for a sleek look.
2. Accessorize with colors. Start with a gold base of texture bangles, then pile on bits of blush pinks and powder blues for that dash of color. Pink Pearlised Enamel bangle and Gold Tone Square and Circular bangle set from Lovisa, Shades of Blue Enamel bangle pack from Diva.
3. Cinch your waist with a luxurious leather belt. This Baukjen Wrap Belt is buttery soft and the knot tie adds interesting detail.
4. Kicks with style. Instead of the usual platform pumps or strappy heels, choose a pair of sleek ankle boots. I love the buckle detail on this pair of Aldo Sivley boots.
5. A simple pleated maxi skirt can be dramatic when crafted to perfection with silk chiffon. This Chloe Pleated Maxi skirt via Harrods is flowy and romantic.
6. A girl has got to have a great bag for accessorizing. This Chloe Sally Small Shoulder bag in bliss pink  has a wonderful pebbled leather outer, and the gold frame has me swooning. This Vivienne Westwood Frilly Snake framed clutch is crafted in a delectable blue, just beautiful. Both bags available from Selfridges.

Volume up

I love dramatic hair for weddings, there's no better time to show off a great hairdo than on the big day, but of course one that fits the wedding theme and dress style. This shoot featured on Grey Likes Weddings shows off wonderful styling for the bride and groom, and the bridesmaid as well. Enjoy!

Feathered Hairpiece

Such a beautiful way to dress up your hair. You can choose from such a wide array of pretty feathers, and it's a great project for the girls to work on together while having tea.

Arm Candy ... Country Blue

These cuffs are a wonderful addition to a denim inspired outfit. The use of denim and leather provides good contrast of colour and texture, and gives a raw edgy feel to a feminine flowy maxi skirt.

Mixing it up

Colour-blocking fuchsia and purple on your dress is a great way to showcase your wedding color. Since the color combination is bold, always remember to accessorize subtly. Neutral-coloured jewelry will complement the outfit and yet be able to bring out its own character. If wearing such vibrant colors are not your cup of tea, try a dress in a pastel or neutral shade, and accessorize with fuchsia or purple shoes, earrings and bangles.
