FASHION All you need for the big day The fairytale wedding has been making a big comeback this year, as brides look for full skirts and flounces. Brides-to-be are always spoilt for choice when they visit Gems Bridal Wear in Scarrotts Lane, Newport. And it’s no wonder – with no less than 100 gowns to choose f r o m , ranging in price from u n d e r £ 2 0 0 to over £1,200, plus a 64 choice of 30 styles for bridesmaids in a whole rainbow of colour options. The favourite colour choice for brides, though, is still classic ivory – and the most popular style is a full lace gown with lace veil. As well as the all-important dress, brides can also buy everything else for their big day, from the veil and jewellery to shoes and accessories. There is also a good selection of ex-sample and discontinued style dresses to choose from. Island Life - www.isleofwight.net
