That David Dickinson look!

Make up and the fake tan.
The bride always wants to look her best. Often we get brides for their final fitting directly after their trip to the tanning salon glowing and pink and greasy from the tanning cream. They cannot understand our unwillingness to let them put on their gown. . Then there is that danger of sun bed tanning “the overall effect”. Take one bride who had regular visits to the tanning studio. She braved the bed in her birthday suit and was careful to be finely crisped and baked on each side. She inadvertently forgot however, to lift her arms during the process and ended up with a shocking lily white underarms which beautifully matched her dress!. Of course there is the sun worshipper but that does not come without its own risk. One of our lovely brides, a school teacher was at her school sports day. The day was a baking hot July and determined not to get those awful strap marks before her day she covered up in a white t-shirt only to find when undressing that evening she had a beautifully defined T-Shirt neckline and arms in a lovely salmon pink and lily white everywhere else, priceless!

And of course there is the “Fake tan” which is now very popular. That lovely orange glow which, for some reason, is highly fashionable these days. You can image how lovely the look as orange goes so well with the ivory. Of course it never enters their heads that fake tan can come off, you can imagine the uproar when the fake tan ends up on the lovely crisp white dress and who do you think they blame?
