Sing along with us to Britney Spears (or Joan Jett, or The Arrows, depending on who you want - we’re unashamedly sticking with Britney): I LOOOOOVE RE-WRIT-TEN. Rewritten London create contemporary bridesmaids’ outfits for damn cool bridesmaids - the kind of dresses you’d actually choose to wear, not ones you wear out of obligation to your best pal. Modern silhouettes, gorgeous breathable fabrics, and an inclusive size range of Sizes 6-20 puts them straight at the top of our Love List, and we think they’ll be on yours very soon too. We chatted to Katie & Fran below:
Read MoreHeart Aflutter are a bridal boutique who may just save your bridal shopping experience. They specialise in ‘fuss-free glamour’, meaning they’ve swapped meringues for modern, moveable designs that are no less stunning, but much more streamlined and wearable! They handpick all of their designers for their innovative aesthetics and eye for detail, and showcase them all in their gorgeous bridal studio in trendy Hoxton. We chatted to founder Cecilia all about what is the beating (or should that be fluttering) heart of the business…
Read MoreEvery now and again we pinch ourselves that Violette is exhibiting with us at our London 2020 show, because she’s potentially the coolest woman to have ever walked the earth. Her bridal designs are effortlessly cool, beautifully unconventional, and hark back to vintage silhouettes whilst retaining cutting-edge credentials. Learn more about her and fall in love with her like we have here!
Read MoreThere’s not much we need to say here, other than The OWN Studio are ones to watch. Their exciting, fresh take on bridalwear, designed as a capsule collection to see you through the whole wedding weekend and inspired by iconic 90s silhouettes, is one thing, but their entire MO is to build a sustainable model for bridalwear. Instead of it being a piece you wear once and never again, co-founders Jess and Rosie have created a brand which you’ll wear til you’re blue in the face.
Read MoreWe’re so excited to have Andrea Hawkes back for our London 2020 show as our SPONSOR! Andrea and her team create the most incredible wedding dresses and outfits, with designs that are super directional, featuring stunning silhouettes and using the most delicious of fabrics. We love their approach to making, as they make everything in house in a stunning bridal showroom in Clerkenwell - right in the heart of the artisans and makers. But instead of us butchering what they do, we chatted to Andrea herself about her work - and we think you’re going to like it very much…
Read MoreEeeee, it’s time to introduce you to our first premium exhibitor for 2020 - the lovely Indiebride London! We won’t babble on too much in this intro as Miina explains the makings of this bohemian wedding dress brand below, but what we will say is we love Indiebride London’s style, ethos, and creative eye - essentially, we love it all, and we’re so glad to have them back.
Read MoreThis year, our dress sponsor is Andrea Hawkes Bridal, an iconic bridal designer who’s famous for her contemporary shapes, flowing lines and impeccable eye for design. We were lucky enough to have her as an exhibitor in 2014 as a brand new start up business, and we’re honoured to have her back for our 2019 show. Half a decade has passed, but her incredible skill has stayed the same, with her designs getting more and more swoonworthy as the years have gone on. We chat to her about the past 5 years, and her brand new “Identity” launch…
Read MoreStory of My Dress bridal boutique is going to challenge all the perceptions you’ve ever had about bridal dress shopping. Cara and her team are changing the wedding dress game multiple steps at a time - are you ready for this long list of lovely? Originally inspired by 20 vintage wedding dresses bought from a theatre company, Cara wanted to expand her range into something more size-inclusive. Her cosy Kent showroom is a beautifully relaxing space, where you’ll feel totally supported and looked after. Alongside her original vintage collections, Cara now stocks her own amazing Story Of My Dress collection (which is where we get the DELICIOUS puffy sleeves above from, and the personalised hand embroidery!) plus amazing MC exhibitor Rolling in Roses and MC18 babe Kindling Bridal. If you don’t make a beeline for her gorgeous stand at the fair, you’ll see her smile from across the room - she’s just that lovely.
Read MoreRolling in Roses did not come to mess around. Their dreamy, delicate, damn fine designs are not only inspired by a bride who is ‘fiercely individual’ but are also all totally great to dance in and made completely ethically. With sequinned shimmies and starry sleeves the dresses are all modern takes on the beauty of past times. Contemporary yet timeless, elegant yet exciting - Rolling in Roses are the perfect unique wedding dresses for cool brides. We chatted to owner Hayley (who you may remember from Most Curious 18 babe-ing around in a Rolling in Roses dress and looking like an absolute MODEL) about their collection and inspirations.
