Julie Aitken from Wedding Frox tells us what dress designers and styles are popular this spring
Here at Wedding Frox, we love a spring wedding. It conjures up thoughts of new greenery, pops of colour, longer days and warmer weather. Your dress will depend on your individual style, but some amazing and diverse designers I would recommend you take a peek at are: Stella York, Madi Lane and Justin Alexander.
Consider something off-the-shoulder, sleek and fitted to show your shape or slightly boho with lace detailing. Wearing a style with a soft drape down the top of the arm will add a lovely frame and softness to your neck and shoulders without making it feel too open.

Fuchsia’s Vintage Bridal Wear is a new business
Fuchsia's Vintage Bridal Wear in Woking is a new business offering beautiful and elegant designs that are sustainable and kind to the planet. The owner, Forouzan Fard, tells us more: "I started this business because I wanted to do something constructive. How we treat our planet is important to me, and I love fashion, so I decided to combine my passion and love to create something that my children can be proud of, and so the idea of revamping pre-loved wedding dresses was born. To me, all the work that goes into making a wedding dress always seemed such a waste to be used once and then stored away, sometimes never to be seen for years!
