The time frame is set, the encourages requested and the wedding photographer reserved, but Lydia Nikosey, 59, of Toms Stream, NJ, does not know where to begin when it comes to choosing out a outfit for her son's marriage this This summer. "I have not used a official outfit since my own marriage, and that was 34 years ago," she says. What Lydia does know: She wants to be protected and relaxed without looking unkempt. To help her find "the one," Clinton and Lydia got to work. "There's no miracle formula—you just need to try on a ton of designs," Clinton says. "Dresses are made to fit a type, so you'll need a customize to help fit one to your body system completely."

For the Brunch

In maintaining with close relatives custom, the wedding bath is planned for a couple of several weeks before the wedding. "I'm going to be conference many of my upcoming in-laws for the first time," says Lydia, "so I want to look fairly but be able to shift around the space quickly." To emphasize Lydia's organic shapes, Clinton nestled a smooth white-colored shirt into a fixed graphic-print pen dress, then included an eye-catching reefs coat. "If you bring bodyweight in your belly, a organized coat allows with concealing," describes Clinton.
