Exciting News:
Our London Boutique is Finally Open!
We are thrilled to announce the grand opening of our bridal boutique in Shoreditch. After months of anticipation and renovations the wait is finally over. We cannot wait to welcome you and your loved ones into our beautiful new space. Excitement filled the air as the doors swung open to wedding industry guests and family members on February 8th. Greeted with champagne our guests explored the gorgeous retail space and our latest designs.
Store Highlights
When you step into Mara Marie Bridal, you will immediately notice the thoughtful design and attention to detail. Our goal was to create a space that not only showcases our bridal gowns but also provides a welcoming and elevated experience for our customers. The carefully chosen colour palette of neutrals and subtle pastels adds a touch of understated glamour, allowing the bridal gowns and accessories to shine in their own right. From the chevron floor, marbled tables to the 7 foot mirror, no detail was spared in creating the perfect space for our brides.
Photography Coverage
The evening was captured by one of our all time favourite photographers, Poppy Carter Portraits. Poppy has been truly instrumental in the launch of Mara Marie Bridal in the United Kingdom and we can not thank her enough for her dedication to our brand and vision.
The Party Decor
For the event we wanted to transform our atelier and showroom to showcase our bridal gowns and to accommodate the guest list. Our attached atelier was draped in linen fabric by London fabric installer and creator, Mia Sylvia. It completely transformed the space - creating an inviting, intimate place to enjoy the evening and leaving guests in complete awe.
The owner of The Way to Bloom, Sarah infused the space with gorgeous florals by created multiple spaces for our guests and for the lovely models to get photographed. She played off the muted pastels and neutrals for the colour palette. From gorgeous garden roses to hydrangeas the store was immersed in blooms and it was the perfect complement to Mia's installation.
Model Glam
For the evening we had a wonderful glam team comprised of Laura Carroll Make Up Artistry and Hair by Duboux for the model's and Mara's hair and makeup. They created 4 lovely looks that enhanced the natural beauty of the models. Laura Carroll known in the wedding industry for creating the most magical bridal glow created gorgeous looks with a little evening flare like a subtle red lip on the model Astrid.
Sally-Kate, the owner of Hair by Duboux has perfected the Hollywood wave that is coveted by all brides this season. It was no exception with the gorgeous model, Xhuljeta. Her gorgeous curls created the perfect amount of glamour for the evening. The gorgeous up-do that Sal created for model Chloe allowed the stunning Rowe Earrings by Megan Therese to shine.
Party Planning
The grand opening was planned by Amanda Virga, who owns AMV Weddings. Mara has attending numerous of Amanda's worldwide photography retreats (AMV Retreats) from Greece to Bali and has experienced first hand Amanda's creativity and attention to detail.
