Your London Wedding - July/August 2025 (Issue 102)

WRAPPED IN LUXURY The hours before a wedding are among the most intimate moments of a bride’s journey, a quiet transition into a new chapter. Après-midi’s The Bridal Hours collection offers bespoke commissions, each a handcrafted silk creation that reflects the bride’s individuality and the essence of the wedding. Eva Shimanskaya, Founder and Designer, works closely with brides worldwide to curate custom pieces. Every design begins with a personal consultation, where Eva learns about the bride’s vision and wedding details. From silk wraps inspired by Roman sculptures to feathered pyjamas evoking Swan Lake, each piece is designed for effortless beauty and comfort. Handcrafted from 100 per cent eco-friendly, non-toxic plant-dyed Mulberry silk, each piece combines luxury and sustainability.
