Sassi Holford has her own beautiful flagship boutique in Chelsea where she provides her clients with a full couture service.  Her dresses are also stocked by an exclusive list of bridal stores in the UK, Europe and North America. All her gowns are hand-made by her first class team in Somerset and Sassi says she takes most of her inspiration from her clients " I love enhancing the female shape"..

On Sunday 17 April we met the lovely Juliet Carr at the Vintage Wedding Fair. She runs paperpompoms.co.uk and distributes 'flat-pack' poms for you to unfurl and use as decoration for your wedding. If you haven't got the budget to fill your venue with flowers we think this is a brilliant and original alternative!

"A dream wedding in a romantic location" is what professional wedding planner, Dominique Douglas of Stylish Events, hears more when asking her brides where they wish to get married.  For an increasing number of London couples the dream can only be Italy.

There is something about the food, wine, culture and scenery (and we sure the weather helps too!).  Tuscany is undoubtedly the most popular choice but Dominique points out that we should not forget the eternal city of Rome.
