The Wedding Edition hosted an exuberant riverside luncheon at Scott’s Richmond’s Al Fresco terrace, an old-world oasis from city life. On Wednesday, the 26th of June, the sunniest of days with the gentlest of breezes, we entered Estée Lauder’s world of technicolour.

The room was alive and buzzing in a sea of vibrant hues with the sunshine-filled River Thames in the background. Guests were immersed in the most beautiful of backdrops with a tablescape styled by Cleo Alexiou, who expertly matched the rose, cherry, and burgundy hues of Estée Lauder lipsticks to the colourful candles. There were bursts of bright patterned joy from the eternally elegant Addison Ross table details. Fiona Fleur’s bespoke florals immersed the space with a rich, vivid ambience, achieved through the delicate placement of small bud vases, adding a final touch of understated charm.

Guests old and new dressed in vibrant hues; Aimée Kelly, Fran Newman-Young, Flavia Blenko, Aarti Pal, Tanjia Sayed, Yasmine Naghdi, Tabitha Willett, Phoebe Torrance, Ambar Miraaj Driscoll and more.

A masterclass in blending the colour of a jet-set travel wardrobe with your Estée Lauder lipstick was hosted by star presenter and undisputed queen of colour, Zeena Shah. Our resident expert advised our guests on how to adopt a ‘dopamine dressing’ approach to your makeup bag, finding your colour confidence by applying a swoosh of bright lipstick to lift the mood and zhoosh up a simple outfit in seconds. Zeena masterfully demonstrated to our guests how to find their colour season and use the colour wheel for maximum impact.

The menu boasted all of the colour and vibrancy that comes with true seasonality. It was an abundance of riches: First, a summer vegetable salad with whipped Golden Cross goat’s cheese and tempura courgette flower, followed by a light main of Cornish chicken breast with confit wing, and best-of-season strawberry pavlova for dessert. Paired beautifully with Magnums of Lady A Rose and Silent Pool cocktails, the highlight being the After Hours: Silent Pool Rose Expression Gin, Tawny Port, Orange Bitters, Orange & Raspberry Soda, giving a special nod to the hottest lipstick shade of the season.

As carriages were drawn, guests received parting gifts that ensured they will have a joyful summer of technicolour, from stunning shell bags from Fable England and chic travel accessories from Aspinal of London.

It was a day of vibrant colours, delightful flavours, and unforgettable memories, perfectly embodying the spirit of Estée Lauder.

The Wedding Edition hosted an enchanting luncheon on Tuesday, the 4th of June, at the illustrious Jumeirah Carlton Tower. Nestled in the heart of London mere steps from Sloane Street, it was a stunning escape amidst the city’s hustle and bustle. With floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the verdant Cadogan Gardens, it provided the perfect backdrop for this show-stopping gathering with Jo Malone London.

The guest list sparkled with familiar faces, including Ollie and Gareth Locke, Anita Amini, Chessie King and her newly engaged sister Brontë King, Francesca Newman-Young, Rosana Chloe Lai, Aimée Kelly, and many more. The afternoon promised a sensory journey, delving into the art of styling with scent.

This special Styling with Scent luncheon was led by The Wedding Edition’s contributing beauty editor, Bandi Manzini, alongside Jo Malone London’s fragrance and lifestyle expert, Emma South. Together, they unravelled the secrets to choosing the perfect wedding day scent. Emma South’s gorgeous sense of self and her unbounded personality and insights were a highlight, offering invaluable advice on how to harmonise fragrance with the overall wedding atmosphere.

Florist extraordinaire and wedding and events designer Helen from Lavender Green shared her expertise on ensuring that floral arrangements enhance and complement the chosen scents. She illustrated how certain flowers can elevate Jo Malone London’s fragrances, creating a cohesive and enchanting sensory experience for any wedding reception. Louisa from Maison Margaux then took the stage to discuss the art of tablescaping with her tips on incorporating Jo Malone London’s fragrances into table settings were nothing short of inspiring.

Matthew Oliver provided the final touch, sharing his perspective on seamlessly integrating fragrance into the overall wedding aesthetic. His advice on accessories and tips ensured that scent would become an unforgettable element of the bride’s or groom’s ensemble.

The evolving tablescape, styled by Matthew Oliver, was an English Garden masterpiece of elegance, with Maison Margaux’s chic inspiration and Lavender Green’s stunning florals weaving a fragrant narrative that captivated all present. Little touches from We Are Lost Girls, such as bows that could be taken home as a bow tie or chic hair band, added to the charm, while Options Greathire provided the final touches.

The event spotlighted some of Jo Malone London’s most beloved fragrances: Wood Sage & Sea Salt, English Pear & Freesia, Peony & Blush Suede, and Orange Blossom. Each scent played a pivotal role in the evening’s ambiance, enhancing the beautifully styled setting.

The menu was an exquisite experience, perfectly paired with Monkey 47 cocktails to reflect the day’s featured fragrances. Guests indulged in sage-marinated sea bass with sage mayo, English asparagus, and sea fennel; beef fillet with pear, ginger, radicchio, and kefir lime; and a cherry and orange blossom pavlova.

The cocktails were a masterclass in mixology, featuring old fashioned-inspired drinks with sage-infused whiskey and salted caramel; tiki-style cocktails with cachaça, pear juice, and cinnamon, garnished with freesia flowers; and orange blossom daiquiris, perfectly paired with peony, lemon, green tea, and honey.

The evening was serenaded by harpist Olivia Jageurs playing Bridgerton tunes, while Hatty Pedder created exquisite keepsake paintings for the guests. The goodie bags were a delightful surprise, featuring a Jo Malone London box embossed with a sweet message. Inside, guests found a 100ml Peony & Blush Suede or English Pear & Freesia Cologne, a Wood Sage & Sea Salt Body Crème, and a Cypress & Grapevine Cologne Intense for their partners.

The evening showcased the magic and harmony of scent and style, brought together in a way that only Jo Malone London and The Wedding Edition could achieve. It was an event that left everyone enchanted, with memories to cherish and scents to remember.

In a digital age where love stories often unfold through the taps and swipes of dating apps, a heartwarming revelation emerged from our interviews for The Wedding Edition: a staggering 31% of our 150 couples, equating to 47 lovebirds, found their soulmates through digital matchmaking. Yes, you read that right! It seems that swiping right isn’t merely reserved for chance encounters; it’s become a pathway to finding lifelong companionship.

So, here’s the juicy scoop: we’re here to celebrate the couples who found their perfect match on Bumble. Who would have thought that true love could be just a swipe away? These love-struck couples stand as living proof that amidst the landscape of modern dating, the one you’ve been searching for might just be a message away – your own fairytale wedding could be the next great story waiting to unfold!

So, to celebrate this, on the evening of Tuesday, May 21, 2024, The Maine Mayfair played host to a magnificent dinner affair commemorating a decade of Bumble success stories. The guest list? Ten  couples whose love stories first blossomed on Bumble where women Make The First Move. It certainly was a night to remember—a testament to the enduring magic of love, both online and offline. 

The tablescape, a vision of opulence and romance, was brought to life with exquisite floral arrangements courtesy of Fiona Fleur, meticulously curated by the visionary talent of Matthew Shaw, the creative virtuoso and founder of luxury events studio Saveur. Every detail, from the delicate yellow hues to the resplendent florals, exuded an air of enchantment, perfectly complemented by Maison Margaux’s impeccable touches.

Now, let’s talk about the menu—a delicious show-stopping menu that tantalised the taste buds and elevated the evening to new heights. Each course was meticulously crafted to perfection, with Champagne Louis Roederer lending its effervescent charm to elevate the dining experience. From the tantalising canapés, including Toro with Finger Lime and Chicken Rillette with Pickled Enoki and Crispy Shiitake, paired flawlessly with Champagne Louis Roederer Collection 244 MV, to the exquisite Raw Stone Bass starter, elegantly accompanied by Champagne Louis Roederer Cristal 2015—every bite and sip was a celebration of love and culinary excellence.

For the main course, the Challans Duck Breast, presented alongside Heritage Beetroot and Chicory, crowned with a decadent Foie Gras Cappuccino, was a symphony of flavours perfectly complemented by the Champagne Louis Roederer Rosé Vintage 2016. And as the evening drew to a close, the dessert course—a delectable Pear Tatin—paired harmoniously with Champagne Louis Roederer Carte Blanche Demi-Sec MV, culminating the evening on a sweet and satisfying note.

But the evening had a delightful twist—a performance that surpassed expectations, seamlessly showcasing love online with a theatrical flair. Courtesy of Revels in Hand, guests were treated to a mesmerising performance to celebrate the evening. As the scene unfolded before their eyes, hearts swelled with anticipation, witnessing a poignant moment that underscored the transformative power of love and second chances. 

The Wedding Edition’s founders, Kendra & Isabella said: “This celebration is a testament to the love stories that start onlineWhat better way to showcase this than with 10 couples who have found their happily ever after through Bumble?” Indeed, the event served as a powerful reminder of the beauty and authenticity of love stories where a connection starts online. “We are thrilled to be venturing into the dating app  space for the first time,” they added, underscoring their excitement to explore new horizons and amplify narratives of love in the digital age.

This April, The Wedding Edition readers were immersed in the world of big day beauty at Code8 Burlington Arcade for an exclusive and intimate makeup workshop like no other. Guests sipped Champagne while enjoying the master class where it flowed. This April, attendees were immersed in the world of glamour and sophistication as Code8 invited them to an exclusive and intimate makeup workshop like no other. Hosted by Code8’s makeup experts, the event promised to be a transformative experience where guests discovered the art of achieving their perfect base, mastering the ideal tone, and unveiling the secrets to the perfect lip, Code8 style. Upon arrival, guests treated themselves to a touch of luxury with a glass of Champagne. They basked in the sophisticated ambiance as they prepared to delve into the world of beauty with Code8.

Adding to the enchanting atmosphere and captivating guests from the moment they arrived was the stunning floral arch at the entrance, crafted by Isobel Daisy, a florist known for her show-stopping wedding designs. Overflowing with pops of peonies and verdant foliage, it served as a breathtaking introduction to the evening’s enchantment. Isobel Daisy’s reputation for exquisite craftsmanship has made her the go-to florist for such grand occasions, making her collaboration with Code8 a match made in floral heaven.

The tips and tricks of the trade were learned from industry-leading makeup experts. Attendees gained invaluable insights into the latest trends, techniques, and personalised recommendations, ensuring they left with newfound confidence in their makeup routine. During the workshop, we learned from the Code8 team that “lipstick is all about happiness and energy.” This insight added an extra layer of joy to the event, emphasising the emotional connection we have with our makeup choices.

At this event, guests immersed themselves in the complete Code8 experience by sampling their full range of products. They discovered the hero products tailored for weddings, allowing them to shine on their special day with flawless beauty. The star of the event was undeniably Code8’s Pop-Up Bespoke Lipstick Bar. Nestled on a central island, this unique experience offered a sneak peek into the exclusive world of Code8’s flagship boutique. Guests witnessed the magic of creating their very own lipstick, tailored to be the perfect universal red for all skin tones. Each guest had the opportunity to watch the process and walk away with their own sample of the hottest tone for 2024—the ultimate nude lip.

Guests also had the chance to name their lipstick, adding a personal touch that would carry forward a gorgeous nostalgia from the event onwards. Imagine when someone asks, “What lipstick are you wearing?” It’s your personal bespoke shade, carrying with it memories of this special occasion. One bride-to-be shared her excitement at finding her perfect shade in one try—the ideal natural hue that felt like she had something on without looking too “done.” This sentiment echoed the Code8 team’s belief that everyone, including the mother of the bride, deserves to feel fabulous.

As cherished guests, attendees left the event not only with a wealth of beauty knowledge but also with a personalised sample of the hottest tone for 2024, ensuring they stayed on trend and fabulous throughout the year.

The tablescape was styled by the brilliant Cleo Alexiou weaving in Mason Margaux’s exquisite table details adorned the golden tree, punctuated by an abundance of candles from Candle Flair casting a spellbinding aura over the gathering.

Amidst the swirl of dresses, Champagne tastings and floral arrangements, there exists a detail that is utterly essential: the shoes. For what bride doesn’t dream of gliding down the aisle with grace and confidence, to say ‘I do’ In Choos. 

Enter a stylish evening with Jimmy Choo, the quintessential maestro of bridal footwear, alongside The Wedding Edition, curators of matrimonial magic. On the 11th of April it was certainly an enchanting soirée that celebrated not just the union of style and substance but also the art of walking tall on one’s special day in the Jimmy Choo flagship store on Bond Street. 

Guiding brides through this delightful odyssey of shoe selection were invaluable tips and insights from the gorgeous team at Jimmy Choo. Practical wisdom mingled with sartorial savoir-faire as guests learned the importance of heel height, the art of breaking in leather, and the wisdom of embracing versatility. For those craving an extra touch of opulence, the made-to-order service beckoned, promising bespoke creations tailored to their wildest dreams. 

As Perrier-Jöuet champagne flowed and canapés danced on black platters, guests revelled in the ambiance meticulously crafted by The Wedding Edition. A visual feast awaited, courtesy of Galvan’s exquisite dresses, each a testament to modern elegance. The gowns, resplendent in their ethereal beauty, seemed to dance down the stairs in harmony with the Jimmy Choo shoes, each pair accentuating the grace and allure of its wearer. From flowing silhouettes to intricately embellished bodices, Galvan’s creations cast a spell of enchantment, igniting imaginations and setting hearts aflutter.

Opus 11’s culinary artistry elevated the evening with an array of savoury canapés and sweet treats that tantalised the taste buds and sweet delights that melted on the tongue. From black sunflower seed crackers topped with tomato tartare and chia seed caviar to black blinis drizzled with black truffle honey mushroom, each bite transported guests to a realm of decadence. Warm cornbread paired with smoked corn curd and whipped feta provided a comforting delight. Meanwhile, cocktails like the Pear Gimlet and Jasmine Pearl mocktail tantalised the senses, adding a refreshing touch to the soirée.

As the evening drew to a close, Jimmy Choo goodie bags brimmed with inspiration and treats. Each bride took home a beautifully hand-wrapped white rose bouquet from Fiona Fleur, nestled alongside incredible 111Skin facemasks in the bespoke Jimmy Choo gift bags, ensuring that the magic of the evening continued long after the last champagne flute was emptied and the final dance concluded.

In the annals of bridal bliss, this special event partnership between The Wedding Edition and Jimmy Choo will forever stand as a testament to the power of partnership, the allure of luxury, and the timeless elegance of saying “I do” in style.

As the London elite, both young and old, gathered in this iconic five-star hotel, they were greeted by an array of activities tailored for all ages. While the grown-up guests perused the SS24 collections and indulged in champagne, the little ones reveled in a world of springtime enchantment – from face-painting to crafting flower crowns and sampling Ladurée’s delectable ice creams. The Belgravia Room transformed into a realm of wonder, adorned with showstopping florals by Fiona Fleur and enchanting woodland trees courtesy of Twilight Trees.

Entertainment was nothing short of exceptional, curated by Sharky & George, adding an extra layer of excitement for the young attendees. Throughout the event they expertly crafted activities kept the children engaged and delighted, creating an atmosphere of joy and laughter that resonated throughout the event.

The guest list read like a who’s who of London’s elite, with luminaries such as Aimee Kelly, Aldo Kane, Alessandra Frame, Tabitha Willett, Chessie King, Debbie Le, Hattie West, Antionette Lettieri, Cherelle Mukoko, Lily Worcester, Monique Vega, Bianca London, Naomi Walkland, Jo Holly and more in attendance, adding an extra layer of glamour to the already opulent affair.

The spotlight, however, remained firmly on Childrensalon’s SS24 collections. As the world’s leading online multi-brand retailer of luxury designer childrenswear, Childrensalon showcased over 250 of the most desirable brands, from the timeless elegance of Burberry and Fendi to the playful designs of Mini Rodini and Stella McCartney Kids. A celebration of spring, the collections left an indelible mark on the minds of those in attendance.
