Taken for a Bride

Spring 2009 Wedding Guide

You know that two’s company. Now it’s time to please the crowd.

Start with the frock. The team at Phillipa Lepley (48 Fulham Road, SW3 6HH; 020 7590 9771) are second to none and will make couture gowns to suit every taste. For vintage-inspired pieces, head to Juliet Poyser (by appointment, 3 Lydon Road, SW4 0HP; 020 7720 1690). Entrust Little Bevan (53 Moreton Street, SW1V 2NY; 020 7821 9499) to create adorable outfits for the bridesmaids and pageboys.

Accessorise with a tiara from Isabel Kurtenbach (1c Kensington Church Walk, W8 4NB; 020 7937 5115) or a decadent headpiece by Victoria Grant (by appointment, 020 7221 1395). Striking shoes come from Freya Rose (Dover Street Market, 17-18 Dover Street, W1S 4LT; 020 7518 0680); if it’s simplicity you’re after, don’t overlook the trusty Gina (189 Sloane Street, SW1X 9QR; 020 7235 2932).

Order a chocolate wedding cake from Purita Hyam or a feathered confection from Linda Fripp Designs. The Table Planner will create the placement, Mixology Events will sort the drinks, and Boothnation’s glitter photo booth should keep revellers amused for hours.

You’ll want someone trustworthy to record the big day: professional fashion photographer Nick Clark will capture it beautifully.

Just in case you need a little help calling the shots.
