Style
There are many different styles of Wedding dress, as every woman knows! But at this time of year you have room to experiment with many fun and different options. Knee length dresses are a popular choice in the Spring time. This cute and playful look is growing more and more popular amongst Brides. The Groom can also make the most of the weather, light weight suits are a great choice as feeling too hot can really make the day difficult, you don’t want to be uncomfortable. For the Bridesmaids, pale colours are a great option, these soft colours create a wonderful soft look for the Easter, light weight chiffon is a brilliant choice of material.
