SCOTTISH STYLE
Accessorise with the best Scotland has to offer…
Singing in the rain
Protect yourself from the
extremes of the British weather
with a lace wedding parasol or
umbrella from
Brollies Galore
.
Chic and timelessly stylish,
these stunning pieces
encapsulate the classic
elegance of yesteryear while
providing effective shelter from
rain or bright sun.
Available in numerous colours
and sizes, they can be matched
to any theme. The Romantica –
a delicate lace parasol with a
domed shape and a slim crook
handle – comes in black, white,
fuchsia and purple and will
add vintage appeal to any
outfit. And if one’s not
enough, there’s a range of
umbrellas for hire. An excellent
prop for your photos, this is the
ultimate accessory – whether
you end up needing it or not!

Rings and things
When it comes to choosing your engagement and
wedding rings, jeweller
Patricia Dudgeon
has some
advice. ‘Buy the best you can afford. And that doesn’t
mean the biggest stone. You are going to be wearing
this ring day in, day out, so it needs to stand up to
some wear and tear. Make sure the band is substantial
and the stones are hard wearing.’
Sounds sensible – after all, this is a piece of jewellery that
needs to last you a lifetime. Patricia can design to your own
specifications, or remodel an old, treasured piece into a more
stylish setting, saving you money while keeping a personal
sentiment. Choose from her contemporary range
and you’ll be delighted with the finish and quality – after all,
Patricia’s been doing this for 30 years. ‘I still love the buzz of
designing and making pieces that give people pleasure and
special memories,’ she says. ‘What better job could there be?’
