A little inspiration for the modern London spring bride

Imagine saying your vows at Old Marylebone or Chelsea Town Hall in our Juno dress & Mila overlay, style her with a soft neck tie, powder blue bow heels and a fresh spring bouquet. Effortlessly elegant, timeless and completely relaxed.

Instead of a formal reception, wander through London’s streets and celebrate with your favourite people over good food and drinks in a cosy pub.

This is proof that a city wedding can be every bit as romantic as a country estate and we have so many designs on the rail to chose from

If you’re dreaming of a strapless wedding dress with soft draping and beautiful details, these are the designs I’d always recommend trying.

Gaia, Luxurious satin with a flattering basque waist, delicate spaghetti straps and a full flowing skirt.

Eden, A modern strapless draped bodice with a wrap skirt and optional split.

Lucia, Satin Bardot sleeves, a dramatic draped bodice and a full skirt with a split.

Sofia, A sleek crepe fitted silhouette with a beautifully dramatic draped bodice and Bardot sleeves.

The best part…….Every one of these designs can be customised. Change the sleeves, make them detachable, why have only one sleeve! Change the skirt shape, optional split or train to create a dress that’s uniquely yours. We’ve had brides add Lucia’s draped sleeve to Gaia and brides who chose Eden with Sofia’s skirt! It’s that simple

If you’ve been saving inspiration filled with draped bodices, soft satin, Bardot sleeves or timeless strapless wedding dresses, these are the styles I’d suggest trying on first.
