Today, I’m feeling very happy as in this one feature, I get to bring you so much wedding dress goodness – exciting designer news from an inspirational boutique, images from a wonderful shoot and an invitation to an exclusive trunk show where you can see new gowns whilst visiting the boutique yourself. Could there possibly be a better start to your weekend? I don’t think there could. So, let’s get a little excited as Emma Draper, owner of the award winning LOVE Bridal Boutique in Cheshire, tells us more…
“I created LOVE Bridal Boutique with my husband Jonny Draper who’s an international, award winning photographer,” says Emma. “We absolutely live and breathe weddings so our dream and vision for LOVE was to create a brand with personality. We are a boutique with a difference, dedicated to providing a refreshing selection of bridal gowns and accessories from a selection of designers whilst focusing on giving each and every one of our brides the ultimate bridal experience.”
And how their efforts have been rewarded because LOVE Bridal Boutique was recently crowned ‘Best Bridal Retailer 2015’ at the national finals of The Wedding Industry Awards. However, the team is certainly not resting on their laurels and is thrilled to be bringing a new name to their stylish boutique.
“We were awarded our title of Best Bridal Retailer not only for our high attention to detail and level of service but because of our focus on being at the forefront of bridal fashion,” says Emma. “We stock a beautiful selection of gowns from designers including Alan Hannah, Stewart Parvin, Raimon Bundo, Terry Fox and Enzoani and now we’re delighted to be announcing the newest addition to our line-up of outstanding designers”
“LOVE Bridal Boutique is officially the first stockist of this designer in the North-West of England and currently only the second stockist in the UK. We eagerly awaited the launch of her new collection in April at New York Bridal Market and we weren’t disappointed as the new collection is even more amazing with a stunning variety of gowns. We proudly present the highly acclaimed US designer, Sarah Seven.”
Wedding gowns by Sarah Seven could not be a more fabulous fit for such a fashion-led boutique. They are unashamedly feminine and combine chic styling with a laid back look that could be summed up as bohemian meets modern luxe. Relaxed, light, ethereal and youthful, they include an exceptional selection of lace, chiffon and sparkle in addition to the use of heavenly colours including tones of gold, silver, peach and ivory. I absolutely adore the on-trend mix of eclectic separates including cropped tops, fitted bustiers and ballgown skirts that combine with delicate beadwork, low backs and the prettiest lace cap sleeves.
To showcase the gowns from Sarah Seven, LOVE Bridal Boutique embarked on a glamorous shoot on the Mediterranean island of Majorca, one of Emma and Jonny’s all-time favourite locations, where the owners of the fabulous wedding venue, Styal Lodge in Cheshire, allowed the team to use their newly acquired property in the south of the island and, as you can see from the images accompanying this feature, it’s pretty spectacular.
“With more and more of our LOVE Bridal Boutique brides choosing to get married abroad and inspired by Sarah Seven’s gowns, this setting couldn’t have been more idyllic,” says Emma. “The dresses couldn’t have been more perfect and with Jonny Draper behind the camera, we captured some stunning moments.”
And back in Cheshire, the inspiration continues as LOVE Bridal Boutique will be hosting an exclusive Sarah Seven trunk on Saturday 20th June where the brand new collection will be revealed. I have no doubt that this will be an incredibly popular event so please book your appointment soon via [email protected]. If you can’t wait to see more from Sarah Seven then indulge on Instagram – wedding dress heaven!
And it’s not just the team at LOVE Bridal Boutique who can’t wait for this event, Sarah Seven herself is just as delighted about the new partnership:
“We are so excited to be teaming up with the recently crowned ‘Best Bridal Retailer’ in England, LOVE Bridal Boutique, to be bringing all new Sarah Seven gowns to the UK. We are thrilled to be delivering the dreamy dresses and sleek silhouettes of our upcoming collection to lovely brides-to-be with the help of Emma and her amazing team and we can’t wait to get started!”
New gowns, a trunk show and a spectacular photo-shoot – LOVE Bridal Boutique is certainly welcoming Sarah Seven in fine style.
LOVE Bridal Boutique will be holding a Sarah Seven trunk show on 20th June – please get in touch via [email protected] to book your appointment.
