Musings

Another favourite venue in North London close to our bridal boutique amongst our brides, is Clissold House, a stunning Grade II* listed space set in the tranquil surrounds of Clissold Park. This beautiful venue has loads of natural light, ornate windows and exceptional views across Clissold Park. Combined alongside The Londesborough for the reception, its a hugely popular choice.

I love the idea of switching your look between the ceremony and reception but can’t afford two dresses? We think we have the perfect solution, which our brides love. One of the great things about some of our dresses is that they can be easily transformed to create a completely different look. Go demure look for the the ceremony, and change it up for the evening for a more alluring sexy wedding look - and we've got two dresses for you... Margot and Elsa, and the Misty dresses.

We are delighted to announce we are now the stockists of these two headpieces, by Victoria Fergusson, from the brand new 2020 collection, not yet offically launched - LUNAR and VENUS. Our brides are loving them, they feel so fresh and modern and different to what I've seen before.

If you're looking for a London venue that's quirky with serene views and decking out onto the lake then look no further… West Reservoir Centre, close to Manor House tube station and Finsbury Park just north of Stoke Newington is one of the most unique wedding spaces in London. We heard about this place through one of our brides and discovered its kinder on the pocket compared to other venues close by. Its also a sports centre, offering open water swimming, sailing and kayaking and has outdoor terraces overlooking the water.

For our recent Nouveau shoot, we asked Sally-Kate Duboux from Hair by Duboux to help style our gorgeous model with perfectly coiffered hair. We were so pleased with the results of our shoot, that we felt it necessary to shout about this super talented lady. Getting your hair right can make or break a bridal look, and can really help to polish off a sleek fashionable look.

A range of covetable new styles are set to be unveiled exclusively for London Bridal market (22 – 24 March) at their new luxe bridal boutique in one of London’s most affluent areas, Islington. With dresses still proudly made in London by an extraordinarily talented team and the second part of the Nouveau collection soon to be revealed, we are kicking off the new decade in style. If you would like to be one of the first to see this new collection, email us for an appointment.

We're back at work meeting newly engaged brides, kicking off the new decade in style. 2019 was great; enjoyed our first year at our bridal boutique in Islington meeting gorgeous brides and loved shooting our 2020 'Nouveau'collection with an award-winning team. We redefined the elegant statement wedding dress. I'm extremely grateful to our hardworking team and the amazing people who make our dresses right here in London. 

We've just received these gorgeous pics of our real bride Serena, wearing the new Vivianna dress at her stunning Devonshire coast wedding by the sea. 

Gorgeous real bride, Suzanne, is a friend of one of our real brides, who came to us to look for a very different style of wedding dress, one that looks classy and elegant, and is so far removed from your traditional frou frou dress. She became the muse for our new Margeurite dress for our upcoming 2020 collection, out very soon.

Winnington & Coe have shared their top tips to getting the best wedding pics of your special day. Known for creating beautiful and modern imagery and films, they recenlty photographed one of our blushing brides, Lizzie who wore the Elsa Ivory dress, a slinky ivory silk slip style wedding dress, with a low back and rouleau straps. We loved the images so much, that we had to ask Winnington & Coe what their best advice would be for our brides.

The backs of wedding dresses are just as important as the front, especially as everyone looks at your back as you're exchanging your special vows on your big day. Many of our dresses have sumptuous low backs, and we thought we would create a second list of some of of the best in back necklaces out there. Here's the first part of our selection - part one - read on to see more covetable finds!
