Delighted to spot our Bonni dress in the current issue of You and Your Wedding Magazine looking stunning. Bonni is an elegant off-the-shoulder dress with a split bias cut skirt. Photo taken by Dan Wild. We love the Dune shoes with the Bonni, and how soft the curls are in the perfectly styled hair, reminds of the elegance of Veronica Lake from a bygone age. Look out for our blog post on Dune's new bridal range soon... The Bonni dress is available to try on at our London bridal boudoir, and at our stockists Detroit Bridal House in Michigan (US), Bella Bleu in Cork (Ireland) and Sass and Grace (Winchester UK).

Siren // A modern-day muse tale - Sabina Motasem

Siren // A modern-day muse tale

Jamila Ali
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.
