| JEWELLED BRIGHTS
- One advantage of skipping the traditional white dress - it's easier to recycle as a cocktail dress.
- Pastel shades are pretty but go for deep and rich solids like ruby, aquamarine, royal purple or even metallics for maximum impact. |

| CULTURE CLUB
- Think ethnic-inspired, not full-on traditional outfits, to keep the look modern. Look for cultural motifs to play around with.
- Use jewellery and colour accents to add oomph.
- Visit high-street stores for ethnic-inspired pieces. You can often put together a wedding outfit for less than $200. |

| SHORT CUTS
- To show off sleek and toned gams in a short wedding dress, prep them well. Exfoliate two days before and moisturise them. On the big day, give legs a light oil down for a healthy sheen.
- Don't team a short hemline with stiletto heels - it says streetwalker. You're much better off with blockish heels. If you're wearing high-heel sandals, don't go higher than 2 inches. The classic pump remains a safe bet. |
