The devil is in the details (Pt 1)

Bianca & Mick Jagger - Saint Tropez, May 1971

Don’t be fooled: you may have the dress of your dreams in your hot little hands and an appointment with the top hair and make up consultant in town from your little ‘white’ book, but that doesn’t mean your mission to look a zillion dollars is completed. The devil, my dear, is in the details, and by that we mean accessorising to give your overall look that je ne sais quoi oomph. Lucky for you, we have some fab tips to send you on your way to stunning-ville.

Is Your Look Eclectic Bordering on Quirky?

If your style star is Chloe Sevigny or Zooey Deschanel, chances are you’re already a whizz at accessorising, but just in case you’re at a loss:

A sensational Philip Treacy hat will ensure that nobody but nobody steals the limelight from you. If budget is a worry, consider vintage alternatives: a deep violet top hat sheathed in velvet would add flourish to your outfit and height to your frame

Use the “something borrowed, something blue” tradition to incorporate your own signature touch into your outfit, whether it’s an antique cameo brooch or an antique blue lace choker

What about… faux fur capelets, a fur-fringed bolero, or even a stole to add drama to your dress? You’ll certainly stand out from the rest of the (yawn) white-clad brides

Take it from style icon Bianca Jagger – Her wedding ‘gown’, was a suit paired with a wide-brimmed hat, covered in a veil of white tulle. Always the contrarian, Bianca ditched the traditional bouquet and instead donned a wrist corsage of white flowers with a diamond bracelet.

However, it may be wise to ‘cool’ down Bianca’s revealing neckline to accommodate our Asian climate :)
