It is an emotional day, likely the most memorable of her life. Excitement is high butreaches its peak: early, during her dramatic entrance to the marriage ceremony resplendent in a .flowing gown.._ _ ....... _ .... The gown is the focal point of the day and sets the tone for the wedding, whether formal or informal. Wedding boutiques agree it should be selected at least six months in advance. There is a return to the old fashioned, traditional soft wedding, like something you might see in pictures of your grandmother's , wedding. Although the bouffant, Scarlett O'Hara skirts are still around, on the whole skirts are not as full as in former years. They are not straight but flare slightly so they flow gracefully. There is a lot of detailing on the bodice, plenty of lace, embroidery, pleating and seed pearls, and necklines are mostly high, often frilled or flounced. Sleeves are emphasized this year. They're big and flowing with lots of decoration and long embroidered cuffs at the wrist. Classic said the split sleeve is also popular. It features a straight sleeve topped by a sheer, bouffant one, split from shoulder to cuff, with lace edging the split and decorating the inner sleeve. Usually with this sleeve you would have a plain skirt. It wouldn't go with a bouffant one. The natural waistline has returned. There are hardly any high, Empire waistlines in most gown designs. Gowns in candlelight and ivory, shades which many women find more flattering, are still in the minority, most gowns are overwhelmingly white. Fabrics are soft, opaque, of the type which appear to float with the slightest movement, like chiffons, silk organza, lace and silk taffeta. Princess Diana swept this all in. It cane from the royal wedding; ills roariairce of a princess marrying a prince, and swept a romantic look in. Hats are popular this year either with traditional , veiling or Russian (fishnet) veiling. Veiling gives the hat a little more dash. A waist llength veil is usually attached. at the back of the hat. Classic does not recommend a longer veil with this type of headpiece. If not a . hat, then a small cap like headpiece is created. Veils vary from mantilla length, down past the shoulders, to long cathedral length which seems to go on forever. Seventy-five per cent of brides want a train. The detachable train is popular again, • Discover the right personal skincare "Programme to Beauty" for you For your look at the 80's have o trained Skin Care 8.

Trains are inappropriate for garden weddings or a small church, she said, and are most impressive 'in -'a large church. Princess -Diana- proved that. Singe tie bridal gown sets the tune for the wedding, it is the first selected. Then come the bridesmaids and ushers and mothers of the bride and groom. The bride selects the styles and colours; colours of ushers' tuxedos, if worn, and the mother's dresses, must co-ordinate with the colours worn by io the bridesmaids, bearing in mind not just the church tableau, but also the wedding pictures.
