Le Trousseau – The UK’s First Luxury Wedding Accessories Boutique & 10% Off Until Friday For ALL Love My Dress Readers…

This is one of those blog features I feel really quite proud about posting! Last week I received an email from a lady called Elizabeth, telling me all about the new company she had set up.  Elizabeth remembered me from a wedding forum I used when I was planning my own wedding, and, like me, her entrepreneurial and creative spirit had been ignited, following the many months she had spent lovingly and excitedly planning her own wedding.

Frustrated at not being able to find the special and individual touches she and her Husband Jody were looking for during their own wedding planning, and receiving
commissions from friends, the couple took the decision to set up on
their own when they returned from honeymoon…

"Jody and I married in October 2009 after seven years together.  We had a country house wedding in Surrey with our reception in a barn on the same beautiful estate.  We wanted an informal affair that felt very ‘us’ but also a feeling of elegance – our home is full of pretty pieces that we’ve collected throughout our time together, there are always candles twinkling and every room has flowers in. We love our house and the look we have created, so that was how we wanted our wedding to look – like home!

We weren’t willing to settle for anything that didn’t make us go ‘oooooh’!…We trawled the usual shops and websites for beautiful accessories to dress our venue but couldn’t find the quality we were looking for, or a style that wasn’t mass market.  Jody and I live in Brighton, where we were both brought up and we wanted to buy pieces for our Big Day that could settle in our home afterwards and forever remind us of our wedding…"

I just absolutely love and adore the 'vintage love heart boîte de bibelot and heart chandelier below – so very elegant and chic…

"We spent hours on the internet, eventually ordering items from the
US, France and Italy. And that was when it hit me!  A luxury wedding
accessories boutique didn’t exist… We chatted about it on honeymoon
(we spent a month in Africa, so had plenty of time to think!) and when
we arrived back home in Brighton friends who were soon to get married
approached us to help source things for their weddings. By this point I
was pretty sure we were on the right track. Months of market research
ensued and I eventually quit my PR job to launch Le Trousseau at the
start of this year.
  And now here we are! The first luxury wedding accessories boutique in the UK

My old life was as an automotive PR manager, so my new job is somewhat
different! I used to spend all day talking about spark plugs and oil
filters, now its favours, candles and confetti! I love it!"

Le Trousseau showcases a carefully selected range of elegant pieces to
enhance and dress the big day, from perfect place settings to hurricane
lamps, deluxe favours and vintage vases, correspondence cards and love
tokens, couture confetti, ribbon, bunting and bespoke wedding boxes.

"Our focus is on choosing pieces that we truly love – we haven’t
once uttered ‘it’s ok’ or ‘well, it’s quite nice’. As such, our boutique
is full of loveliness – and loveliness that will be just as at home in
the home! We’re also keen on customer service. Our aim is for our
clients to enjoy the whole Le Trousseau shopping experience, from first
visiting our online boutique to pulling the ribbons and peeling back the
tissue paper when an item arrives in its new home.

We’re pleased to be part of a boutique experience –
that means providing the
prettiest pieces to complement the bride and groom’s own unique sense of
style
, backed by stellar customer service and the certainty that our
customers won't see our products at every wedding they attend this
season.”
