Top tips for big-day dressing from new Thame and Aylesbury stylist

Former John Lewis coach Ellen Peters is now working with clients to use colour and style, gain confidence and build self-esteem as a stylist with House of Colour in the Thame and Aylesbury region.

“I love helping people to be the best version of themselves,” says Ellen. “My son got married very recently. The bride's mum had come earlier this year for her colour analysis. On the big bay, she looked truly fabulous in her teal dress and rose gold accessories; colours she admits she wouldn't have thought of before her analysis class yet perfect for a soft leaf autumn. Many guests congratulated her on her outfit.”

Ellen talked to Your Berks, Bucks & Oxon Wedding and gave us her top three tips about dressing with style and colour:

1. Experiment! Everyone has a seasonal palette full of combinations and possibilities that will wow, so experiment with your options once you know what colours truly suit you. You'll discover a whole new wardrobe.

2. When shopping for something new, ask yourself 'Do I absolutely love this?' If the answer is 'yes' that's great, buy it! If the answer is 'I love the colour or the fabric or the style' but not all three, then leave it in the shop because it will end up staying in your wardrobe.

3. Go shopping in new places… Who knows what you'll discover?
