How to style a bridal suit

Pick one statement and keep the rest quiet. With feathers at the cuffs, choose plain satin heels and pearl earrings. Long hair worn up shows the neckline of a buttoned blazer. For the reception, swap the trouser for the feather trimmed skirt, then add a veil to the jacket for the ceremony photographs. Guests looking for dresses should start with mother of the bride dresses and designer cape gowns.
