A PASSION FOR FASHION The team at Inna Voronova Bridal LTD is excited to announce the new 2024 Sensuelle collection is now available! Designer Inna Voronova operates out of St Albans and offers an extensive range of bridal gowns, eveningwear and flowergirl dresses, all highly desirable at a great value. The team can also produce custom-made and fitted bridesmaid dresses with many design templates and fabrics to work from. The company started running in mid-2021 when the impact of Covid-19 was causing many other highstreet stores to close. Inna took this opportunity to rent a space and get started. Inna says, “As a child, bright colours and fashion were always very high on the social agenda. As the high school proms drew closer every year, I would dream of arriving in a magnificent dress of my creation. As I grew older, my thoughts turned to marriage and the dream of being the centrepiece of my wedding. I used to draw and paint, which eventually turned into occasionwear. Four years of professional training and many positions in European bridalwear stores led me to the inevitable conclusion that I must open my own store.” The new collection will turn heads with stunning silhouettes, various necklines, delicate details and dream-worthy materials. There’s something for all types of brides: for those looking for dramatic styles to romantic looks and everything in between!

The anniversary celebration was a delightful afternoon tea party where guests were treated to bubbly beverages and delicious cakes, creating an atmosphere of joy and camaraderie. In attendance were not only the current team and management of Offley Place but also dear neighbours, local councillors and past team members who had contributed to the hotel’s journey. However, the most special guests were the couples who had chosen Offley Place for their wedding. The venue’s director Nazlee Sabahipour says, “It was wonderful to catch up with married couples as far back as 2008! We were equally thrilled to celebrate with our Covid lovebirds, now marking their two-year anniversaries. It was heartwarming to meet their children and to witness the beautiful lives they have built together.” The manor house offers a range of enchanting spaces for ceremonies and receptions, each exuding its unique charm. The meticulously maintained parkland provides a picturesque backdrop for outdoor celebrations and photographs, adding to the magic of every wedding held at Offley Place. In addition, the site boasts 16 individually-designed rooms and suites, ensuring that couples and their guests enjoy luxurious stays.
