Your London Wedding - November/December 2020 (Issue 74)

MEET MARGARITA VACHITOVA OF BUCKLEIGH OF LONDON Tell us about your company… We’re a family-run business offering traditional tailoring and dressmaking. We specialise in the hire of the finest gentlemen’s formalwear for all occasions, ranging from Royal Ascot to Buckingham Palace balls. We also provide an exceptional alterations service. What are your top tips for looking and feeling your big-day best? To look your best, make sure you choose the right suit; the style, colour and accessories are very important. If the wedding is formal, we recommend a classic morning suit, whereas if it’s more relaxed, a lounge suit with a waistcoat and tie looks great. What’s your favourite way to relax and have some me-time? There’s nothing better than spending time with my family – including my cat and dog!

It’s the first patented training concept to combine advanced vacuum and compression technology with exercise to stimulate the body’s metabolism. It’s a fast and sustainable fat-burning treatment. What are your top tips for looking and feeling your big-day best? Don’t try too hard to lose weight! If you’re determined to slim down, then leave plenty of time – crash diets don’t work! You want to look and feel your best, not be starved and fatigued. Alongside healthy, balanced eating, it’s important to get adequate sleep. What question do you get asked the most by wedding clients? People often ask how much weight they can lose. However, it’s not about the number on the scales, but about the shape of your body and how you feel. You want to feel a million dollars on your wedding day. What’s your favourite way to relax and have some me-time? I like to spend time outside, especially when the sun is out. It always recharges me with positive energy.

My focus is on helping women to feel good about themselves, using modern techniques and an experienced eye to create tailored looks that will stay fresh and gorgeous throughout the day. My approach is totally bespoke, working with clients to create a look that’s true to their style and personality. What are your top tips for looking and feeling your big-day best? Book a couple of professional facials in the lead- up to your day; fresh, exfoliated and hydrated skin makes the best possible canvas for your make-up. Also, make sure you take time out in the run-up to the wedding. This is the time to pamper yourself, so book that spa break with your best girls. The more relaxed you are, the better you’ll look and feel on your big day. What’s your favourite way to relax and have some me-time? I love long walks, meals in good company and sinking into a hot bath after a busy day at work. It’s all about the simple pleasures for me.
