Give your feet a treat
Even if you’re not wearing heels, weddings can be hard on the
feet – dashing around getting ready, mingling with guests
and then dancing the night away – ouch! Give your feet a
treat on your special day with
Corrymoor
’s comfortable and
luxurious range of mohair socks. Warm in the winter and cool
in the summer, mohair’s smooth fibres are sweat and odour
free ( just the thing for those pre-wedding nerves!)
And if you think natural fibre socks are for woolly hill walkers,
think again. The company’s latest collection – Socks in the
City – is designed for people who spend hours standing on
the tube and
pounding
hard
pavements.
The strong,
natural
cushioning
and
antibacterial
properties of the sleek mohair provide much-needed comfort
– so put a stylish foot forward and get ready to strut your
stuff!

Express yourself
One way to make sure that
your wedding is an event to
remember is to design your
own headwear, in your own
style.
Randall Ribbons
has a
wide selection of millinery
supplies, giving you complete
control over the finished
product and allowing you to
express yourself in whichever
way you choose.
The company’s range of untrimmed hats, combs and bases are an ideal starting
point – available in a variety of different colours and styles, they are a blank
canvas upon which you can develop your unique design. For the finer details,
Randall Ribbons’ artificial flowers look highly realistic without being fake or tacky,
and feather mounts – including ostrich, marabou, pheasant and peacock – can
add individuality and drama. Finish your fabulous creation with veiling, ribbon,
crinoline or lace.

achieve a suave, sophisticated look with minimal
effort, allowing you to spend more time on the rest of

your own special day,
Liz Glover
's
handmade collection offers bags of style.
Choose from shoulder strap, short handle
or clutch – every one is a unique piece
and can be tailored to your own

contemporary fabrics and recycled
materials to create colourful and unique
bags,’ says Liz. ‘I work with layers of
mixed fabrics and accessories and
anything is an inspiration to me, from
distressed clothing to antique buttons.’

with stitching beadwork and a variety of
experimental techniques. She can create

possibilities, you’re guaranteed an end
result that’s completely your bag.
