Here Come The... Men!

Your Groom

Croeso! Welcome!

My blog has consisted of women's wear, which is what I originally said I would do in my first post, however my fiancé read over my shoulder and complained that I had no male offerings so here we are.

I have mentioned previously that I'm having a Scottish wedding so this is for the traditional Scottish man. All images taken from Pinterest.
Prince Charlie dress is striking on any Scottish man.
With a choice of tartan to honour your clan or to tie in with a colour theme it will make any woman fall head over heels all over again.
 

 The dress down look is less formal, but that may be a more comfortable look for your day.
 The tuxedo is a formal suit that can look stunning on any man and not just for the Scott's haha!
Accompanied by bow tie or formal tie you can achieve many different looks for your day.

 

By adding a dash of colour to the waist coat, tie and button hole flower you can colour co-ordinate if that is the look your going for.
















For the more dapper man, this paper boy look is perfect for a vintage style.

The Dress

All The Shapes

Croeso! Welcome!

I know I've already talked once about shape, but for this blog post I want to look in depth at each style.

A-Line

This style is best for plus size women.
Usually with corset back the figure is pulled into a beautiful hour glass, the skirt creates an A shape which hides any unwanted lumps and bumps.
Using an underskirt to create the large volume skirt.
 Ball Gown

This dress is perfect for a princess wedding day.
Usually the shape used in all Disney movies, it truly is most girls dreams, though I personally do not prefer this shape as I always feel there is something to hide in such a big skirt haha!
This shape is also handsome on plus size women though just as beautiful on every body shape.

 Empire Waist

The high waist and drop skirt is perfect for tall women with a column body shape.
This dress can be made as simple or as bejewelled as suits the wearer for any type of wedding.
Mermaid

If you have a beautiful figure or very confident in your body then this is the dress for you!
Figure hugging bodice to the knee then flaring out to give the affect of a mermaid figure, hence the name.
 The Mini

Brought about by the 60's the mini wedding dress is for a woman who has a beautiful body to flaunt and a confidence in herself and her style. As the image shows left the mini dress doesn't have to be boring.











       
  Tea Length

Beautiful short length wedding dress that is very 50's and chic. Perfect for a petite woman who may become drowned in floor length gowns or her preferred style is that of the 50's era.

Trumpet
 Very similar to the mermaid the mermaid gown hugs your body all the way to the knees before it flairs out. The trumpet wedding dresses are fitted through the hips to mid thigh and then flair a bit less severely

Hairstyles

Hairstyles to Suit You

Croseo! Welcome!

As I'm planning my own wedding (the main reason I'm so terrible at up dating regularly, along with University work) I know how the small details make everything flow and come together.

Personally the look I'm going for is a simplistic, elegant, traditional affair that embraces my future husbands natural Scottish roots and some Welsh influences on my behalf. My hair is something I am humming and ahhing about, why is there so much variety?! Not that I should complain, we're lucky to have such talented stylists that can accommodate every woman's dream look, but when your indecisive it can be over whelming.
 

The low updo is a hairstyle that I'm enamoured with, one I'm most probable to have for my own big day! Here are some examples:

Bright, bold and colourful hair is also rather popular, take a look at these examples:



 Adding flowers to bridal hairstyles are also becoming increasingly popular.

 
 

There are so many options to create the perfect hairstyle for your wedding that it truly is personal choice and your own style.
 
Hwyl Fawr! Goodbye!
