August Designer Evening Luella

Luella’s Bridal Evening, 18th August, London

Normally I don’t dedicate a whole post to all the sample sales, bridal evenings and events that I get sent but Luella’s Boudoir in Wimbledon is a special place and I really like the range of products that they sell. I used to pop in to the shop when I was engaged and working nearby in Wimbledon so I suppose its a personal recommendation.
So this August 18th (next Wednesday) Luella’s Boudoir is launching their designer evenings (which will run every month) and give you a chance to meet with designers, hair and make up artists and to get tips on styling and inspiration for your big day.
August Designer Evening Luella

You’ll get to meet Freya Rose, london-based shoe designer, Alexis Daly, from HairandBeautyonthebigday.co.uk (who I have already featured on LMW – Wedding Hair and Make Up, London) and Yarwood White, jewellery design team. There will of course be a chance for you to have a good look round Luella’s Boudoir too.

If you are interested please call the boutique on 0208 879 7744 to reserve your place. You will also find on Little Miss Wedding, voted one of the leading UK Wedding Blogs, a list of all the upcoming UK Wedding Events. And if you do go please leave a comment and let me know if you enjoyed it :-)

Morgan Davies Bridal Sale, London

The girls at Morgan Davies asked me to post about their upcoming sample sale on Sunday May 30th at their Islington bridal boutique. Given that they stock some fab designers like Jenny Packham, and I got my whole wedding outfit from there so can highly recommend it I thought that I would….

Just to remind you that we are having a fantastic sample sale on Sunday the 30th May from 10am – 4pm and girls don’t even need an appointment. Designers include Jenny Packham, Alan Hannah, Augusta Jones and many more. Most of the dresses are pre-dry cleaned and are in really good condition, girls can also expect great service being continued, just because it’s a sale, doesn’t mean you don’t deserve some help and attention from our consultants.

For more info visit their website Morgan Davies – make sure you ask for Annalize (and PS her husband is a great photographer if you are looking fot that too!)

Maggie Sottero dress

Morgan Davies Bridal Events

Morgan Davies Bridal has boutiques in London and Hitchin – they have some fantastic bridal events over the coming months so make sure that you add these dates to your diary!
I got my wedding dress from Morgan Davies in London, I fell in love with my dress the minute I tried it on and its so not ‘The Dress’ I had been dreaming about. I never in a million years thought that I would be able to wear a dress without straps but to my surprise I found a lovely Alan Hannah Dress that I felt absolutely fabulous in – as they say ‘it fit me like a glove’. (if you want to have a look at me check out the Collage of my London Wedding)

Maggie Sottero Dress

I have to say I love Morgan Davies – they have a fantastic selection of dresses and they looked after me really well from the first visit to all the follow up fittings, so from personal experience I can highly recommend them. In fact I have recommended them to quite a few friends who have gone on to buy their dress from there too.
Make sure that you get these dates in your diary: there are designer days for Maggie Sottero, the ever popular Jenny Packham as well as dresses from Morgan Davies’ own range. (I got my Jenny Packham feather shrug there which has just seen its wedding no 2 as all of my friends want to borrow it)

‘All That Jazz’ is not only the name of the wedding dress I wore at my wedding (by Alan Hannah), but also the name of this gorgeous new collection of 20′s dresses from Lindsay Fleming Couture. I’ve previously featured some of their wedding dresses on LMW in the post 1920′s inspired wedding shoot – but now I’ve got even bigger, better pics for you to drool… over so enjoy….. and read on for all details on how you can see Linsday Fleming Couture in London.

1920's wedding dresses

Shot by award winning photographers, Archibald Photography, these dresses look utterly fantabulous! I LOVE this one – infact, correct me if I am wrong but, Mark, from Archibald Photography won an award for this photo recently.

Now for the all important bit about how you can meet with the award-winning bridal designers in London

Lindsay Fleming Couture have decided this year to make it even easier for brides to have a face to face consultation with a designer and to see first hand the dresses, quality of fabric and workmanship. They have arranged the first in a serious of visits to Central London where private consultations and fittings can be offered to clients without travel to Scotland. Their first visit will be on 26th, 27th and 28th March 2010 with further visits planned every eight weeks. The venue for these consultations will be ‘Dolphin House’, Chichester Street, London, SW1V 3LX and appointments can be arranged by contacting Lindsay Fleming on 01864 502522 or by email bridal@lindsayfleming.com . In addition to their 20s inspired collection ‘All That Jazz’, they will also be
displaying their celtic and medieval inspired gowns; the ‘Celtic Spirit Collection’.”
