Shopping for my bridesmaids was the highlight of my planning. I purchased everything in London with the exception of the chain necklaces, which came from our local H & M. I thought for so long about each of my friends’ personalities, clothing preferences and skin tones prior to making any purchases. There were many frantic international texts requesting input and advice! I wanted them to be comfortable above all else and in the end, have another unique outfit they could wear (at least once) again!
I wanted a neutral color palette that highlighted the blush and gold elements of the day. Zara’s spring collection was perfect!
I am so grateful for these wonderful women in my life! A big thanks for everything you did on that special day!

Veil: Alta Moda || Tiara: Ivory & Co via The Tailor’s Cat
Heels: Rupert Sanderson “Decor” via Brown’s London

  

The Dress – Monique Lluillier
My wedding dress was completely easy to pick. I found what I wanted on Monique’s website, called the only boutique that carried her designs and they took care of the rest! The skirt was ordered and as soon as I arrived from London, we began the fittings! I designed the bodice, which was then created just for me!

The Tiara – Ivory & Co.
I knew I wanted a tiara since the day I saw Sleeping Beauty. But, really. While I was studying at Cambridge, my best friend and I happened upon The Tailor’s Cat. It was a delightful wedding boutique in the center of the city. We immediately fell in love with all the Swarovski encrusted tiaras. How could you not?
Three years later I was back in London and newly engaged. I knew I had to be crowned à la Kate Middleton. I dragged my friends along for the 45 minutes journey and found the perfect finishing touch! Each tiara has a great assortment of faceted Swarovski crystals, freshwater pearls and are 14k gold.

The Shoes – Rupert Sanderson
I began my dress shopping in London and knew a trip to Brown’s would be beneficial. I immediately fell in love with my gorgeous heels and the color was perfect. I’ve never had more comfortable heels. Highly recommended.
