The Hazel Dress

The new Hazel dress has been unveiled! As part of our 10 year anniversary SIREN collection, we looked closer to home for the inspiration. Inspired by our very own our marketing guru, Jemma (Sabina’s very own sister nonetheless) who got married last week and her grandmother, Hazel; the brand new Hazel was a true labour of love. Mixing themes of woodland weddings, ethereal pixies and a good shot of signature Sabina Motasem modern luxe – we channelled Jemma’s style, Hazel’s love of flowers and Sabina’s clean lines all in one...

How to relax before your big day - tips from a real bride

1 wedding down - another to go. My first wedding was located in my own hood of Warwickshire, in my parents back garden. Not a traditional English affair, but a somewhat hybrid Bengali meets British garden bash. Think the equivalent of a Chicken Tikka Massala at a picnic - but only from a damn good restaurant.It was interesting to say the least. Full of laughter, fun, LOVE. But my oh my was the lead up stressful. As my parents and I are very hands on, there was plenty for us to get busy with. So much planning and of course so much expectation...

This whole wedding thing is pretty full on and although people do advise you of this when you’re freshly engaged – it doesn’t really settle in until closer to the day. For me, make up is important – an understatement given that I’ve dedicated most of my career to it thus far. Therefore it’s a big thing for me to have my make up just right. However, I doubt I’m alone on that. What makes it harder to hurdle is my skin condition – vitiligo – oh and the fact that I’m having not 1, but 2 darn weddings. As much as I know about make up - I need advice. So I sought it straight from the top...Lisa Eldridge....

Siren // A modern-day muse tale

What do you get when you mix chic-as-what wedding dresses and an innovative creative group? Pepper in the talents of artistic beauty connoisseurs and an angel faced-beauty, and you have the "Siren - a modern-day muse tale". We're launching our 2018 collection in STYLE with a labour of collaborative love: Siren. Our short film tells the story of a modern day muse as she prepares for her wedding, going through different personas. It's realistic, it's gritty, its a far cry from the fairy tale but it's beautiful, it's true and it celebrates women. Watch the Siren film here.

Wedding Day Arm Candy (no we don't mean your S/O)

Handbags are often an afterthought when mapping out your wedding outfit. Shoes yes. Jewellery yes. Hair accessories yes. But handbag? - people often forget until too late in the day to purchase the perfect accessory. Do you really need a handbag you may ask. It isn't necessarily a live or die situation however, if you're not entrusting your belongings to your chief bridesmaid - or a close friend - or if you don't have a bridal party at all, it's definitely worth thinking about. Even if you are having a  bridal squad, it's worth thinking about too. Consider your beauty touch ups, or emergency supplies like sewing pins, plasters etc. ... a bag no longer seems unnecessary does it?
