Best Dressed
Q | My mum wears trousers daily but feels like she must wear a dress on my wedding day. What would you suggest? |
A | Debbie Hill says: A wedding is an extraordinary occasion for the wedding party, especially when getting the outfit right for mother-of-the-brides. Here at Charisma, we pride ourselves on giving a one-to-one personal service to assist our ladies through trying different styles and outfits. We suggest coming out of their comfort zone, away from their usual style, to try something different to get that wow factor. Some customers wish to have their legs covered and feel more comfortable in a trouser suit, which is great, but try a tea-length style dress such as the Condici Balmoral with its three-quarter length soft and feminine look, which can be dressed up with a fantastic hatinator for a church wedding or down with a simple flower for more relaxed weddings. We've had so many customer reviews telling us how they came into our boutique with style in mind but went out with something different and always had terrific comments on the day. |

Mum's the word
Q | My mum is looking for an outfit for our winter wedding, what's stylish and will keep her warm? |
A | Debbie Hill says: Dressing for a winter wedding can be a more challenging compared to spring/summer weddings, but you can still look stylish and keep warm. We can experience some freezing weather, so opt for thermal undergarments which are available in various shades and styles. Thanks to the different thicknesses available, the pieces can be worn underneath your outfit without becoming too tight and uncomfortable. Once the formal proceeding is finished, you'll inevitably go to a heated venue – even garden marquees can have heating provided. If you're worried that you'll be too hot for the reception, a quick change at the venue is easily done. |
