Elegant eco chic wedding gowns

We do love it when beautiful things come together...

One of London's best kept secrets and one of our favourite bridal designers, Sabina Motasem Bride recently teamed up with London's most sought after heritage wedding venue, Eltham Palace in Greenwich to showcase their range of six brand new vintage inspired, elegant wedding dresses, along with their two all time best sellers.

Head designer Sabina Ali told us she found inspiration for the new collection from the style and glamour of iconic performers at the Folies Bergeres in 1900s − 1930s Paris.

Not only do the slinky, chic wedding dresses complement the opulent, decadent Art Deco interior of the house so perfectly, but these gowns follow the huge trend for understated but luxurious bridal gowns for 2012/13.

What could be more perfect for the style conscious eco chic bride?

We really think Sabina Motasem wedding dresses hit the perfect notes of being understated, great value, simple and elegant. The company is very flexible - dresses can be altered to fit and brides can select alternative details like different necklines, sleeves, colours and accessories. Prices for the wedding dresses range between £900 – £1750.

If you want to see more of the new range, a sample collection is available to view by appointment at the Islington studio in London. Its very rare to find this, but but not only are all Sabina Motasem Bride wedding gowns made exclusively in the UK but they will be delivered within two months throughout the UK and internationally. Sometimes shorter timescales are possible - even from one week!

To book an appointment email mail@motasem.co.uk or go to www.motasem.co.uk for more information.

April eco wedding date in Devon - 20 to 23 April

Just got engaged?
Don't want to wait a year to get married?
Looking for a beautiful country wedding setting in April?
Well we have the perfect place...

Absolutely one of the best times of the year in Devon is April and at Coombe Farm it is just glorious. If the season is early then there will be some bluebells peeking out to smile at you in the woods, but even if they're not in full bloom, the woods are just beautiful with new leaves bursting out in all their intense greenery and dappled sunshine.

The last couple of years have seen April being warm and balmy in the West Country so it's worth snapping up this lovely eco friendly venue for your Spring wedding this year.

They have only one weekend left - 20 to 23 April 2012 so don't hesitate too long or the date will be gone in a flash!

For more information and prices please check out Coombe Farm's website www.combefarmwoods.co.uk
