"I honestly felt the best I have ever felt!"

My stunning bride Lauren wearing custom dream gown CAROLINE! This dress was PERFECTION on our girl but to make it that little extra spicy, we turned the neckline into a pearly lined pluuuunge and my God was that an amazing shout from our bride!

Absolutely beyond breathtaking and cannot wait to see more photos from Scott Kendall Photography

Clean and classic with a spicy splash of colour and sexy leg split!

DRIZZY is utter perfection and a delight to wear! I styled her with our oversized puff sleeves for fun and even more drama but I'm also having some custom sleeves made with the lace to show our brides some options!

Sample size in store to try on is a UK22 (true to size). Is DRIZZY on your list!?

INJECTIONS OF COLOUR 🌸

Bring your wedding to life with big, beautiful, riotous pops of colour! Colourful weddings don't need to mean "bohemian or alternative" weddings. You can create a clean and classic look like my girl Lucy did and add in a glorious bloom of flowers, have colourful table decor, brightly coloured shoes. There is no limit to what you could add in to bring life, colour and pizzazz to your celebrations. (I don't think culturally we use the word "pizzazz" enough).

Choosing your suppliers for a destination wedding…

My number one recommendation is to do your research!

Don’t just pick anyone because it’s easier than putting in the hours. Checkout potential venues and suppliers online, on social media, review sites and by sending off emails.

How long do they take to reply?

What is their manner like?

Do they sound invested or do they not seem bothered?

Is it cheaper to bring a team with you or choose your crew locally?

Ask to schedule zoom calls with your shortlist and see who you vibe with – it’s a big deal to not be able to meet
you’re A-Team in person before the big day so make sure you’re not rushing into anything.

I also think it’s a good idea to make sure your suppliers have some sort of experience with the venue or location of your wedding.

You will be going into your wedding, mostly blind so to have a planner who knows the venue and the team, a photographer who knows the grounds and a catering team who knows the kitchen and the setup they need, is a really great place to be. People who know the inside scoop! That’s what you’re looking for!

BIRTHDAY WEEKEND πŸŽ‚

I wanted to share a little reflection post between 35 and 36.

Every year, I encourage you to do the same, take some time for yourself and don't lose sight of your achievements, no matter how seemingly small. Reflect upon them and be proud.

The last 12 months have been a huge learning curve and an emotional roller coaster, both personally and professionally. The effects of brexit had finally settled in, trickling down from the government to our suppliers and eventually, had taken hold of our small business.

I won't lie and say that the last year has been a breeze in this industry.

It hasn't been.

Every week it seems, another boutique is closing down and we had to make some huge financial decisions and totally flip the way we operate, after 5 years in business (and surviving a pandemic in the meantime!)

We had some incredible highs & some incredible lows. We said goodbye to my best friend, Reggie in June. 3 years and 1 day after we adopted him from a shelter, us, his first and last family. This absolutely broke us as a family and although I'm not sure my heart will ever fully heal from saying goodbye to him, I used his passing to make changes of my own.

Fast forward to now, 36.

Our little business is thriving once again! LUSH CURVE is one of the most highly rated plus size bridal shops in the UK and my other boutique, BRIDE BY ASTER, is the highest rated boutique in the county!

I feel fresh, light, bright, happy and healthy. I made the decision to give up alcohol after losing Reggie, for my mental and physical wellbeing. It's coming up 8 weeks and I've never felt so present and filled with so much energy. I have also started cutting out sugar as I find without the alcohol, I no longer crave it and again, I feel so much brighter!

I don't know what is to come in the next 12 months, but unlike last year, I'm excited to find out. I am proud of myself for making it through and equally proud of my husband and business partner, who actually deserves the credit for navigating us through.

Please reflect on your next birthday, good or bad, it's OK. Things will always get better x

❀️ DESTINATION WEDDINGS ❀️

Sometimes the weather doesn't always do what you want it to! 10 years ago, we had a gloriously warm (but not hot), still, peaceful beautiful day....

For our renewal in April, the heavens opened! But hey, that's life! When you're out in nature, particularly in Africa, you don't make the rules! So you just have to play the game!

We had two choices - have photos with the animals or not. You can see what we chose! I'm not going to lie, the champagne in the game vehicle helped 🀣🀌🏼

The point is, have fun no matter what the weather. You won't control it and you can choose to let it make or break your day. Remember, there is never bad weather. There is only weather and how you feel about it πŸ‘πŸΌ

Thank you for my beautiful custom dress

EDINBURGH CASTLE ELOPEMENT β™₯️

My absolute cutie pies and their incredible Scottish elopement last December!

Lucy & Ollie came to the boutique together, all along with Lucy's folks, to choose her dress. Let's be real, Lucy looked great in everything but everyone fell in love with LILACH for this absolutely glorious wedding!

Scotland, lace, sleeves, fluffy fluff, the suit, the thistles - I can't 😭β™₯️

It was really such a pleasure to be a small part of their journey and I hope that every woman has the chance to be looked at, the way Ollie looks at Lucy 😭β™₯️

HANNAH'S TOP 3 FAVOURITE SPRING COLOUR PALETTES!

POWDER BLUE, PEACH & GOLD
PINK & YELLOW
LAVENDER & BLUSH

What do you think of when you hear the word β€˜Spring’? Do you see in colour? Do you imagine with words? Do you experience it as a feeling or a smell? No matter how you interpret the word β€˜Spring’ or how it passes through your internal processor, there are few things better than a glorious Spring day in England!

The air is rich with the smell of fresh grass, flowers, blossoms. The landscape is as green as you could ever hope for and the promise of new life is all around. Spring is a fabulous time of year to plan your wedding, if nothing else for the abundance of fabulous florals available. (The food is another big reason but we’ll come onto that later!)

One of my favourite reasons to have a spring wedding, are the colour palette options. Pretty pastels are a given but don’t think you only have to pick one! Imagine a flower bed or a meadow filled with English flora – there are riots of colour all around and it’s easy to incorporate them into a tasteful and picture perfect Spring wedding theme.

(Side note – your colour β€˜scheme’ and wedding β€˜theme’ are different). Eg. Rustic, earthy & bohemian theme with a blush and burgundy colour palette. I’m big into themes and colour
schemes being kept separate as they do different things. A theme helps you design and style your wedding dΓ©cor, pick your dress, choose the suits etc whilst the colour brings it all to life in the style you want!

Here are my top 3 Spring Colour Palettes with complimentary dresses available in our boutique!

Let me know in the comments which is your fave!

VENUE SPOTLIGHT

Have you heard about Woodmancote Place in West Sussex?

They are our venue of the month and for fantastic reason! This exquisite Regency style venue lies nestled in the heart
of West Sussex, facing three large lakes and bejewelled with scented roses and wisteria, it is the ideal option for a glorious spring wedding!

Approached by a dramatic Austrian Pine tree-lined gravel driveway, you pass the stunning Church, St Peter’s, situated within the grounds.

Beyond the wild deer park and Woodmancote Wood, glorious parkland surrounds the Grade II Listed House.

Don’t miss their Tipi Open Day on the 4th May and the opportunity to book this dry hire space for your own reception!

Kicking off the morning with some snaps of my girl Gemma in her stunning gown GRACE! We really didn't tweak this dress as it was so perfect as it is for Gemma although, we did add a slightly darker colour beneath the lace just to give it a little extra kick of warmth and let me tell you.... DAM! It was such a great idea and looked SUBLIME! Stay tuned for more on this gorgeous bride!

24/04/2024

April 7th 2014 – I married my best friend, other half, love of my life, now business partner and father to my two amazing step children at a small game reserve on the East Coast of
South Africa.

We got engaged in 2012 at Hluhluwe Mfolozi Game Reserve (pronounced 'shu-shloo-ee oom-foh-loh-zee’) which is one of our sacred places and one of Angus’ favourite places in the world since he was a child.

We decided after a crazy 15 years together and 10 years married and all of the ups and downs that come along with that length of time, we would head back to South Africa and
renew our vows, just the two of us and begin our next decade in style. We went back to the small reserve where we had our wedding reception in 2014, and on the 7th April 2024, our celebrant who hosted our wedding all that time ago, conducted our renewal.

The following morning we went back to Hluhluwe to be in our sacred place, where we got engaged in 2012.

I know that a vow renewal isn’t for everyone. For me, I feel like we have grown so much as individuals but also as a couple. We love each other more now than when we got married and as we enter into a new chapter of our lives, I wanted to experience β€˜just us’ in Africa, recommitting, reconnecting and looking ahead to our amazing future that we will continue to build together.

Thank you for my gorgeous custom dress, for keeping my curls curling and giving me a bloody amazing glow up! Thank you for helping us again 10 years on and for getting soaking wet in the rain with us and for Nick at Rain Farm, our game driver who was committed to getting us around! We had an absolute blast!

FEBRUARY YESSSSS CREW PART2!!!!! ❀️

So I heard another boutique owner at a wedding fair the other week say "We're just not sure about investing in the 'bigger' dresses".....

How could you not want to cater for these babes!? My girls are EVERYTHING and I'm so proud to say they're mine and will always invest in them ❀️

YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍

It might surprise you to know that January and February were insanely busy months! Like, bananas! And so, the lack of my gorgeous brides having their photos taken is really down to me being a bit rubbish and slow at posting them (as opposed to a 'quiet period').

Part 1 of February YESSSES! Some of my girls found their dream dresses in the trunk show we hosted, some created their own custom designs and some found AMAZING gems in our ready-to-wear section!

I can't thank you all enough from coming far and wide to visit my enchanted little boutique in the Surrey Hills. If anyone is thinking of making the journey, feel free to hit me up for local things to do and see in our neck of the woods! Everything from scenic walks and country pubs to gin tasting and ceramic painting! Make an occasion of your visit, especially if you're coming further afield to visit!

Well, January ended with a bang and February doesn't look like it's going to be slowing down! I can't thank you enough, Alice, Maria, Hollie & Laura for giving us the loveliest and most fun appointments this week! We shared tears, belly laughs, joy and hilarious awkward stories (I literally live for them) πŸ˜†

Welcome to our tribe! We celebrate women, we celebrate our bodies for what they do for us, we celebrate the people that we are and most importantly we celebrate each other. Thank you for joining our journey and allowing us to be a part of yours!

LUSH TURNS TWO TODAY! 😍 ❀️🍾🎊πŸ₯³πŸͺ…

OK, so I'm a bit late on the post! I've been having a relaxed admin day, getting your orders in, putting out fires, updating the website, talking to suppliers, dealing with invoices etc (all in the comfort of my onesie of course!)

Today I've been mellow. I've been taking time to think about the last two years. I mean, who was writing a business plan in the middle of a pandemic??? Who was saving, planning, researching and preparing to open a second shop, just 6 months after our first shop had been forcibly closed for 13 months on and off?? Me and Angus....that's who 🀣

An insatiable drive to be better, an undeniable responsibility to ensure that we represent all women, (women just like me who have always been second best) and a burning need not to let that little voice inside my head who tells me "you can't", win!

(Incoming gooey alert)...From our very first day that we opened, it has been a privilege, a joy and a real honour to be part of your journeys. Those of you who have bought and those of you who haven't. Those of you who have trusted us after having had experiences elsewhere or wanted us to be your first appointment. Those of you who have travelled nationally and indeed internationally to visit us! We have never taken an appointment for granted and understand how daunting it can be, making it even more special that we are on your "must visit" list!

We've heard that a lot of small businesses don't last past year 2. A lot of bridal shops that started after the pandemic are already having closing down sales and small businesses in general were recorded as having a negative 6% drop in business last year. Yet somehow, through your support, your kindness and your following, we have made it through another milestone and have BIG plans for 2024/5!

Lastly, an enormous thank you to my husband Angus for being a huge part of our business without any of the good parts and to my right hand girl Tania & our assistants who have as much passion for LUSH as I do! ❀️

Happy Birthday LUSH - you did good πŸ‘πŸΌ

I just can't thank you enough for your kindness. I really feel like it is part of my mission to ensure that we all find an acceptance, a love and appreciation for our bodies.

All bodies are good bodies. We are human. We are "imperfect". Let's not be the next generation that pass insecurities and unrealistic standards of beauty on to our children. It was never your body that was the problem.
