Outfits
Elizabeth chose a local dressmaker in Islington, Jacqueline Byrne, who tends to work with very high-end clients, but was happy to create what turned out to be a very clean and simple dress, but finished off with the exact amount of detail. There are dressmakers and bridal shops in Islington, Belsize Park, and vintage suppliers in Camden Lock. The budget is really important here, and try to ignore those bridal magazines as much as you can if you’re not really up for anything too, y’know, weddingy.
For the boys, hiring your outfit is still most common, but if you want a new suit with a local connection, Nigel Hall Menswear, now in Soho, originally started with a stall in the Lock.

Well done Tim! I’m having a kentishtowner wedding in September at the beautiful Colonel Fawcett. Dress from Elizabeth Avey at Tufnell Park, flowers by grooms florist mum. The only aspect of the wedding I can’t cater for in Kentish is parking for the guests!
Thanks Flora, the Fawcett is a brilliant venue, we considered it but unfortunately was too far from our church. Hope the preparations are going well
