LOVE AND LOVED

RELAXED/ EFFORTLESS/ FASHION FORWARD

SET IN A RURAL BARN OFF THE BEATEN TRACK IN A SLEEPY BUCKINGHAMSHIRE VILLAGE, LOVE & LOVED IS MAKING A STATEMENT ON THE BRIDAL SCENE.

TRADITIONAL ON THE OUTSIDE BUT STRIKINGLY CONTEMPORARY ON THE INSIDE, LOVE & LOVED BRIDAL WILL BE A HAVEN FOR BRIDES-TO-BE LOOKING FOR A RELAXED, EFFORTLESS BRIDAL SHOPPING EXPERIENCE. CREATED FOR BRIDES WHO MIGHT NOT ALWAYS KNOW WHAT THEY WANT IN A WEDDING GOWN BUT MORE THAN LIKELY KNOW WHAT THEY DON’T WANT. SEEKING SOMETHING UNIQUE WITH A FASHION FORWARD TWIST, SPECIAL AND EYE-CATCHING BUT WITHOUT THE FUSS AND THE FLOUNCE, LOVE & LOVED’S BRIDES-TO-BE WANT TO CURATE A LOOK THAT IS AN ELEVATION OF THEIR DAY TO DAY SELF WHILE REMAINING TRUE TO THEIR NATURAL STYLE.

WITH A SELECTION OF DRESSES AND SEPARATES, BRIDES CAN BUILD THEIR LOOK WITH ONE PIECE OR ADD LAYERS TO CREATE A TRULY UNIQUE BRIDAL OUTFIT.

ASIDE FROM THE TRANQUIL LOCATION, DODLEY HILL BARNS WAS THE PERFECT CHOICE AS IT IS BEING DEVELOPED WITH THE ENVIRONMENT IN MIND. THE BOUTIQUE IS AT THE HEART OF THE SWANBOURNE ESTATE WHICH HAS A WIDE RANGING CONSERVATION PROGRAMME. OUR POWER IS PROVIDED BY SOLAR PANELS FROM THE NEARBY GRAIN STORE AND OUR HEATING COMES FROM A NEW “GREEN” AIR SOURCED HEAT PUMP. WE PROVIDE A HABITAT FOR LOCAL BATS (AT A SAFE DISTANCE FROM OUR GORGEOUS GOWNS) AND NEW PONDS HAVE BEEN CREATED TO TAKE CARE OF THE LOCAL WILDLIFE.

SO WITH THE LOCATION PACKING A PUNCH WE NEEDED THE BEST DESIGNERS FOR OUR BRIDES. OUR MISSION WAS SIMPLE, FIND DESIGNERS THAT STAND FOR SOMETHING AND HAVE A STORY TO TELL, IT HAD TO BE MORE THAN JUST A PRETTY COLLECTION OF DRESSES. WE ARE PROUD TO BE STOCKISTS OF BRITISH LABELS, SHIKOBA BRIDE, E&W COUTURE AND ROLLING STONES, KNOWN FOR THEIR OUTSTANDING CRAFTSMANSHIP, SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS AND UNIQUE STYLE.

WORKING WITH YOUR WEDDINGOLOGY IS AN EXTENSION OF OUR COMMITMENT TO MAKE EVERYONE WELCOME.
