Your London Wedding - March/April 2021 (Issue 76)

AISLE STYLE While many of us spent lockdown on the sofa, super-cool London bridal designer Paper to Lace created an exciting new collection to launch alongside its new website. “It’s a collection of dresses and separates, all of which are designed to mix and match,” says Cristina Ruggeri. “Everything can be customised. Whether that’s changing the fabrics or tweaking the designs, the bride is able to create the perfect outfit for her. We wanted the pieces to suit the current times, so if you’re having a micro-wedding now and a bigger party later, you can easily upgrade your outfit for each occasion.” Not only is this gorgeous collection full of luxurious pieces, but it’s also ethically conscious. Silk is used in almost every garment, with some pieces also using bamboo, linen or recycled polyester.

Bringing a little nostalgia to adult life, The Sweet Ring features a yellow sapphire, 40 yellow diamonds and 224 custom-cut rubies, and promises to capture the pure magic of falling in love for the first time. Since its release in 1995, Haribo Starmix has been a firm favourite with Brits, and in 2019 it was named the top sweet treat in the UK. Fans will know that friendship rings are often the first to go out of the packet. Taylor & Hart design director Kate Earlam-Charnley says, “Made for the daydreamers, the hopeless romantics and those in search of something a little more pure and innocent, this ring is the perfect expression of love. It’ll certainly make a great story while also saying ‘love is forever’.” Find out more at https://taylorandhart.com 10
