Annika in Maggie Sottero Mona
Anybody remember what a summer wedding looks like? I know it’s terribly British of me to moan about the weather, but seriously, how much longer can this go on?
A handful of my brides this year have been blessed with a beautiful sunny day. Whilst rainy day brides are sending in fun pictures full of Dunkirk spirit and last minute brolly purchases I don’t think Annika would have been strolling in front of the wisteria or enjoying the open top car with the steel grey sky and endless rain I am looking at today.
Annika’s Maggie Sottero Mona, in soft chiffon with it’s asymmetric neckline, is absolutely the kind of dress the Miss Bush team loves from this famous label. Slim but not fishtail, elegant, structured and with embellishments that sing not bling…
Once again I am mummy-proud of my Miss Bush bride looking absolutely stunning and outshining any image that Maggie Sottero can produce. Annika is a beautiful bride and she makes Northbrook Park more lovely for her presence.
Annika would love to thank her team and share her photos with other brides to be.
It would be lovely to see some of the pictures on your blog, I have always enjoyed reading the entries on other weddings, so it would be nice to share mine with other brides too!

A Little Slice of London
The culture of celebrity and celebrity endorsement of brands is contentious. Beautiful Thandie Newton is a perfect brand ambassador for Temperley London…

Celebrity endorsement can sometimes backfire absolutely – a PR graveyard. It took six years of visual rehab for me to consider buying Anoushka G dresses after Michelle Heaton wore one (very badly) for her short lived first marriage to Andy Scott Lee.
Please do not judge me for my encyclopedic knowledge of OK & tabloid featured weddings – it’s an occupational hazard. Mercifully this was before the scourge of Google Image search could lead to the permanent brand damage and I can only find one shot of the bride who has seemingly self tanned with creosote.

It cheers me no end to find that a very sane and savvy PR machine has ensured that very cool actresses and The Duchess of Cambridge are papped on the red carpet in Temperley. Above and below are Thandie Newton and Minnie Driver in Temperley Pre Fall at recent premieres in directional bronze lace and the D of C in a black version of the bridal Amoret

Lest we forget – the brand is not just the choice of Royals and actresses – the socialists like a spot of Temperley too…

A Little Slice of London
In precisely one month Miss Bush is going to the proud stockist of another iconic British label. Temperley London is coming to Ripley.
Now I know you know we, at Miss Bush, love a frock and you know we love a cocktail! Therefore the arrival of this wonderful collection of dresses gives me the perfect excuse to host a fashion show and party to welcome the brand to the shop.

I was lucky enough to meet Peggy Porschen’s PR Stephanie Balls a short while ago and their wonderful cakes and iconic London shop seemed a perfect match to the cool Temperely dresses. I was delighted when Stephanie agreed to become involved with the event and Peggy’s cakes will be on show to see and taste.
It was the iconic shop fronts that inspired the hand drawn invitation by Leah Spicer of Golden Apple – a must visit website for wedding stationery. I squealed with delight when I saw the results she reproduced from my inarticulate rambling brief.
As if glamorous dresses and cakes were not enough party goers will also be able to marvel up close at inspirational flowers by legends Steph from Fairynuff Flowers and Gayle from Bloomingayles who will also be on hand to talk petals if required.
