Hey ladies, i'm really pleased to be sharing these images with you this morning, styled by my friend Hannah Gooch, owner and editor in chief of The Ebury Collection. Hannah styled these images for Sophie Garratt, the designer behind Elizabeth Todd Bridal, to mark the re-launch of her business at No3 Chiltern Street.
Chiltern Street is one of my favourite places to visit when ever I'm in London, it's a bit of a mecca for all things beautiful, it also being the home of By Appointment Only Design.
Sophie is relaunching her new business in partnership with Russell Blackburn, owner of Blackburn Bridal Couture, a boutique frequently recommended by my readers and linked to in my real wedding features, after brides have found their dream dress there…

The new venture at No3 Chiltern Street is based around offering brides-to-be a true couture/bespoke service from a small selection of high-end British and American bridal wear designers, that include Elizabeth Todd, Claire Mischevani, Sarah Treble and American Designer Rita Vinieris for 'Rivini'*. Brides will be able to try on any of the exquisite designs that will be held in store, or work on a pure bespoke creation with the designer of their choice.
No3 Chiltern Street has undergone a complete refurbishment and Elizabeth Todd, as the shop was formerly known, will continue on as a designer in store, offering a fabulous selection of her own period-inspired corseted gowns, similar to the ones you see in this feature.
Hasn't Hannah done a wonderful job of styling this shoot, which took place at the glorious Surrey wedding venue, Fetcham Park…
The boutique can be found at: 3 Chiltern Street, London W1U 7PB. To book an appointment, please telephone: 020 7224 2773 or email [email protected].
Big thanks to Hannah Gooch and the full creative team for making this feature possible.
Do any of you brides fancy venturing over to Chiltern Street to sample the bridal delights for yourself?
