(20 Feb 2017) LEAD-IN:
Brides are getting more boho for 2017, according to stylists at London's National Wedding Show.
Trends are moving away from polished, glamorous looks to embrace a more romantic, relaxed style with strong festival and woodland themes.

STORY-LINE:
Beautiful bridal fashion on the UK's largest wedding catwalk.
Here at the National Wedding Show in London the hottest bridal trends for 2017 are on show.
The event starts the new wedding season and offers an early opportunity to see what's going to be hot or not in the year ahead.
Chelsea dress designer Poppy Dover is showing off some highlights from her latest collection at the show - just time to make some last minute adjustments backstage before her model hits the catwalk.
Dover specialises in delicate embroidery, creating ethereal, romantic looking dresses.
She believes the trends for the season ahead are woodland princesses with romantic, fairy tale weddings.
She says: "Midsummer Night's Dream is a trend, yes. I do see more brides getting involved in creating more of an ethereal theme for their wedding. Sort of like taking on this fantasy approach but in more of a modern, sophisticated way. So less like the Disney princess but more like a woodland princess that becomes quite untouchable on the day. So the congregation see this beautiful fantasy coming down the aisle."
And what would any self-respecting woodland princess serve on her wedding day? Well, how about a woodland cake.
This might look like a tree trunk but is in fact an edible wedding cake.
It's the handiwork of Cristina Pin, the Italian cake maker and owner of Penny the Bee.
Cristina took a sideways career move from her legal profession to concentrate on her passion - cakes.
Now she creates romantic, fairy tale cakes with strong woodland themes. This cake would cost around 800 UK pounds (approx 1,000 US dollars) - but prices increase depending on the number of sugary floral decorations.
Cristina Pin explains the appeal of a woodland cake.
"So I think the major trend for 2017 is going to be a kind of return to nature, so having an enchanted forest theme and because I think people like to escape their hectic lives, especially during their wedding day which is a special day," she says.
The boho bride isn't a trend that's happened overnight.
According to National Wedding Show director Alex Butler, the trend to adopt a less formal approach to the big day has been creeping in for a while.
She says: "For years we've seen a less formal approach to weddings. I think in year's gone by people had a very traditional, formulaic approach to their wedding and now people want their wedding to reflect their personality. So that kind of boho, relaxed, festival theme is very prevalent."
The National Wedding Show offers the opportunity for brides-to-be, and even their mothers, to get made-up by top make-up artists.
Here in the VIP area the make-up artists are giving expert advice and letting the women try the look ahead of the big day.
Tori Hope from Revlon has been at the show demonstrating the latest looks.
"The major trends for brides in 2017, I'd say we are looking at quite boho key looks and quite romanticised, beautiful, ethnic-y kind of looks," she says.
And of course, on the other side of the coin are professional hairdressers who are styling women's hair.
Cinta Miller, a creative hair stylist at Revlon Professional, is giving this bride-to-be a quick consultation in the show's VIP area.
On the catwalk many of the models are sporting tiaras or headpieces.
According to designer Poppy Dover this is bang-on-trend for 2017.
