Sam & Olivia dans la robe Loyola
Le chic de la ville pour ce mariage intime où ils se sont mariés dans l'un des élégants bureaux d'enregistrement de Londres. #GRACEbride Olivia porte notre robe Loyola et le voile Gabriella et nous ne pouvons pas nous en passer.
Qu'est-ce qu'une femme de grâce pour vous ?
Assertive, strong and beautiful.
Quelle robe Grace avez-vous choisie et comment avez-vous su que c'était "la bonne" ?
I loved the way the Loyola dress was subtly stunning. The burn-out effect on the dress was different from anything I’d seen on a wedding dress before and I loved that. I chose the Gabriela veil because it was more classically beautiful but somehow it worked so well with the Loyola dress.

I bought my dress and veil from the London showroom, which is absolutely beautiful. I only had five months to plan our wedding so the team were amazing at helping me choose the right dress and accessories. The Loyola was the second dress I tried on (after the Dove dress) and I pretty much knew it was the one. After going to a couple other bridal stores, I went back the same day to order it.
Décrivez votre look le jour du mariage...
I’d say very much like the theme of the wedding! Understated, London-chic but elegant and beautiful.
Comment a-t-il/elle fait sa demande ?
Sam proposed in Goa, India. I had just been out there for almost three months training and teaching Yoga and he flew out to spend the last two weeks with me. He proposed on Christmas Eve!
Quel était votre objectif pour votre mariage / quel était l'aspect le plus important pour vous ?
I think the main goal for both of us was to have the people around us who we loved and who loved us. When I look back at the wedding, one of the best parts was the vibe and atmosphere of the whole day and I believe that’s totally down to who we had around us – it was magical.
Les moments les plus drôles de la journée ont été...
One of the greatest moments was Sam’s best man having to do his speech over Zoom. He tested positive for Covid the week of the wedding so couldn’t make it. We were both devastated for him (and for us!) but he did such an incredible job and I think everyone was rooting for him just that much more – it was actually a lovely and hilarious moment!
I also think one of the best and funniest parts of the day was getting ready with my two best friends and my gorgeous hair stylist and make-up artist. We got ready together at The Ned hotel and it was such a vibe! A lot of people warned me I’d feel overwhelmed but I was so excited for the day and to be married to Sam, I was having the best time!
Quelle a été la partie la plus stressante de la planification ?
I think a lot of people around you have expectations of what the wedding should be like, and it’s hard to try and meet those as well as your own. I planned the wedding entirely by myself so I felt a lot of pressure leading up to the day.
Un conseil beauté/santé/forme ou de préparation au mariage que vous pouvez partager...
If you’re planning to book any beauty appointments for your wedding, that you don’t normally do whether that’s a spray tan, having your legs waxed, eyebrows threaded etc – make sure you do a few trial runs in the months leading up.
Tout dernier conseil ou mot de sagesse que vous pouvez partager...
For planning (if you’re planning yourself) – be assertive and don’t second guess your decisions. The more you over complicate it the more stressful it will be. And more stress for you on the day! A lot of the detail you spend most of the time stressing about before the wedding aren’t the things you even think about on the day, so try not to put too much pressure on yourself! And if you’re based in the UK – don’t even think about looking at the weather until two days before - you will drive yourself insane. We had rain forecasted up until two days before but had sunshine all day for the wedding!
For the wedding – every bride will say this but enjoy yourself as much as you can! Make sure you and your husband or wife immerse yourself in absolutely everything and everyone!
