Your London Wedding - Page number 10 - May/June 2021 (Issue 77)

HONEYMOON READY The SUNSET collection from Adoraswim (www.adoraswim.com) has us dreaming of exotic honeymoon destinations. With sustainability at the company’s core, the two female founders know how to make women feel bright, bold and beautiful, while being kind to the earth. Now, all we need is a beach… MOMENTS OF JOY The pandemic has been challenging for all of us in many ways, so it’s been particularly important to hang on to moments of joy. We spoke to Michelle of The Old Finsbury Town Hall to hear about how the venue has kept going through the pandemic. “Despite these extraordinary times, we have taken stock of our situation, adapted and remained positive,” Michelle says. “While many couples had to put their plans on hold, we were able to host a number of intimate weddings – in line with government guidelines. We thrive on helping our couples realise their dream day and create those perfect lifelong memories.” Michelle continues, “As we look forward to returning to a life that we have a little more control of, there’s a strong sense of wanting to hold on to beautiful things that happened in the lead up to the pandemic. One of those moments for us was Candy and Max’s ( @ridingeverest) amazing wedding celebrations. Their joy-filled day is a lovely reminder of happiness and laughter shared with friends and family.” Find out more about this historic venue at www.theoldfinsb urytownhall.co.uk Music to r e s Make sure you check out Boujee Music, the recently rebranded music agency, which is run by husband- and-wife team Tim and Lizzie Sentance. Providing amazing live acts for every wedding, Tim and Lizzie met through music and bring invaluable experience from both sides of the aisle. Not only do they know how to put on an incredible show, but they also know what it feels like to plan something as special as your wedding day. Having created each of Boujee Music’s exclusive live bands from the ground up, you’ll see and hear the couple’s passion for live music in every performance, from showstopping bands to get your guests on their feet to unforgettable ceremony music. “Although we’ve been in the events and entertainment industry for more than 15 years, we’ve learned a lot since we started our business five years ago,” Tim says. “When the pandemic hit, we took the opportunity to channel all of our creative energy into improving our business. We’re incredibly proud of our bands and musicians, so our modern, clean new look puts them front and centre, letting the quality of our performers shine through.” Visit https://boujeemusic.com/weddings Get in the l p Sustainable stylists and wardrobe consultants Grace & Gadsby has announced the launch of The Loop, a London-based luxury bridal resale website, selling a curated edit of covetable preloved designs for the modern bride. Starting with a brand partnership with luxury British designer Jenny Packham, the website promises to be a trusted resource for thoughtful wedding looks from the big-day dress or registry office outfit through to the party look and beyond. Launching with a small selection of carefully chosen pieces from global brands such at Khaite, Cult Gaia, Brandon Maxwell, Valentino and Jenny Packham, every few months will see Loop Drops, where fresh stock will land on the site from notable luxury brand collaborations as well as upcoming designers. Special pieces will be selected from sample and archive collections – which would otherwise collect dust – making it perfect for brides who are passionate about sustainable practices. The Loop also offers tailoring and customisation services, from embroidered initials or a recycled crystal neckline to feather trims. The Loop sets out to amplify the belief that, considering the finite resources needed to create luxury clothing, more thought should be given to their lifecycles thereafter. Their mission is to inspire brides to adopt this mindset too. Find out more at https://the-loop.uk https://kristianlevenphotography.co.uk http://e-m otionimages.co.uk 10
