Here's something I found in our archives from a couple years ago, "the" dancing shoot which inspired the ballerina styled images of our latest collection. The dresses were modelled by Sonoya Mizuno who went on to star as Kyoko in Ex Machina, written and directed by Alex Garland and shot by conceptual fashion photographer Oliver Prout. 

Stylist magazine filmed behind the scenes for Clinique, and interviewed me on what its like in the day in the life of Sabina Motasem too. Watch the full video on you tube here. Click the title to read the full article and see the pics from the shoot.

Thrilled to be featured on the Whimsical Wonderland Weddings blog today, with our 'En Pointe' collection, and ideas on slip style dressing.

Here's a video when we accepted our 'Highly Commended' award a week ago today, at Morden Hall in Surrey, by Damian Bailey the founder of The Wedding Industry Awards. At 2.26 mins is where we are at, albeit with a slightly embarrassed but elated smile! Watch the video below.

Lovely start to the week, to receive these gorgeous photos from a real bride, Jenni, who bought her lace wedding dress, Lilian a bias cut dress worn over a lace overlay called Mistinguett, on her big day. We have the coolest brides, Jenni accessorised her bridal look with a black leather jacket. Thank you so much Jenni for sharing your photos. 

On Monday 23 November, Sabina Motasem won the ‘Highly Commended’ award for Best Bridal Designer for London and the South East at the Regional Wedding Industry Awards 2016 at Morden Hall in Surrey.

Sabina Motasem predicts ‘Slip-style’ dressing, favoured by the likes of Sienna Miller and Anne Hathaway, will be a major bridal trend for 2016. Many of their real brides are already loving this look, with the Elsa dress, for their big day too. 

Its all about Art Deco inspired bridal inspiration this week, as we share a gorgeously styled shoot we did a few years ago at Millbank organised by the super talented photographer Fiona Kelly alongside Joyce at Brides & Beauty. The shoot features our Isadora dress, a bias cut wedding dress with a cowl high neck, keyhole back and puddle train, the Josephine dress a backless cowl back dress, and Elsa a slinky satin, bias cut slip style dress with spaghetti straps.

Pleased as punch and proud to be awarded 'Highly Commended' for Best Bridal Designer for London and the South East at The Wedding Industry Awards (TWIA) in Morden Hall – The only regional and national, client-voted awards recognising and rewarding excellence in the UK wedding industry. 

Sinead and Piaras said "I do!" in front of the Pope, no less, in Rome; one of my favourite cities. Love these pics of Sinead wearing our Isadora dress with the art nouveau beaded headpiece and the historical images of the Colosseum. Read on about her big day and her bridal tips.

For all brides who love the sea and sailing, this styled shoot in Australia with a colour palette of blues, greys and greens is just delightful.  It's a wonderful inspiration for wedding ideas near or on the water.  The model wears our Lilian dress and lace Mistinguett overlay dress. Shot by Ben Yew Photography.

A remote desert landscape acted as the perfect backdrop for this clean and pared back styled shoot, captured by Aimee Jones, through our stockist in Australia, Through The White Door. Love the setting for this styled shoot, in the dunes of Yanchep, north of Perth. Such lovely, rustic looking flowers too from Lua Leuca Florist. Read all about this gorgeous shoot on White Magazine.

We have a lovely wedding to share with you today of our real bride, Sarah, who said 'I do!' in the countryside with breathtaking views in Derbyshire. The bride wore a brand new dress called Gloria and the maids wore Two Birds bridesmaids. Simply lovely!
