Bridal accessories can really finish off your wedding outfit but they can also be where your outfit starts. Perhaps you always wanted to splash out on those Louboutins or maybe you have a piece of jewellery that's really important to you so you'd like the rest of your outfit to fit alongside that. Either way, do you. Charlotte shares regrets about her bridal accessories and gets all 'Mother of Dragons' on us and tells you the piece she would wear today if she was getting married now. The girls talk everything from capes to hair vines, but not veils. That's a whole other podcast!
