Regardless of what anyone else thinks, you are the star of the day (hubby can have an ounce of stardom too but no one will be commenting on his suit) so play along, dress up and be the star you are. Let’s start with an ivory lace dress, it’s knee length so pretty and informal for destination, registry office or civil weddings, with a ribbon waist to nip you in. Pair it up with satin shoes featuring a ruched vamp and diamante buckle before going all out with starry jewellery such as this hair clip, necklace and earrings that you’re bound to cherish forever.
