The dresses have always been named after inspirational, iconic women, ever since the label started 10 years ago, and now it’s part of our ethos and branding. It’s a fashionable homage to great, creative women who helped to shape our world today in their artistic spheres and our brides love to hear their stories too.

Sequins details and embellishments are a major trend for 2016 in neutral, gold, silver and rose gold shades. It's a great way to add a little glamour and sparkle to your wedding. Here's the first in a series of all things sequins and my top tips, from dresses, cakes, shoes and accessories - starting with sequin bridesmaid dresses and where to find the best ones.

 

Pantone colour of the year: Rose Quartz and Serenity - Sabina Motasem

Pantone colour of the year: Rose Quartz and Serenity

Sabina Ali

The new 2016 colour of the year from Pantone is out, and for the first time two colours blend together, Rose Quartz and Serenity which signify fluidity and peace. 

These are wonderful colours to plan a wedding with, especially as all our dresses also come in Blush, which we love to call cream with a hint of rose in it, looks great for a bias cut, backless wedding dress such as Josephine or Lilian. Layer it with a lovely boho inspired lace, team it with rose gold bridal accessories and bridesmaids in the lovely Serenity blue shade - and you have a super stylish, beautiful wedding.

From shoes, to bags, accessories and some of our brides wearing blush too. Here's my pick of some of the best from and bridal inspiration to help you plan your wedding.
