ERIC’S NEWS Spring has finally sprung and the sun is shining down on us here at Boho Bride boutique! We’ve been so busy last month, with lots of lovely brides to be trying on our gorgeous gowns. I don’t know what’s going on but the garden centre has been full of chocolate recently (mmmmm theres small ones, large ones, chocolate rabbits, chocolate lollies, chocky everywhere mmmmm ) but I’m not allowed any! Can you believe it? I did manage to get a quick nuzzle into a pile of tasty mini eggs before her ladyship pulled me out! We had to go and look at the daffodils instead! I was not amused! Anyway my lovelies we will soon be releasing our online shop. Just think you can be sat at home eating as much chocolate as you like and still be able to browse and buy our fabulous shoes & accessories without stepping foot out of the door! Now that’s got to be worth a look! Stay tuned its on its way! Until next time my lovelies x

gree in 1987. I Did work placements with Emma Hope and Jimmy Choo where I learnt a lot about the fashion shoe industry then I got a place on an enterprise course, running your own fashion business. I then got an enterprise grant to help graduates set up their own business. I rented a studio in Clarkenwell Street London and started making fashion shoes to begin with. Then the editor of You and Your wedding magazine spotted some of my designs and asked me to make a pair of bridal shoes for her wedding. They featured in the next issue of the magazine which came out over the weekend and when I got to my studio on Monday morning my answer phone machine was bleeping away and said it was full!!! I had so many enquiries from brides about making shoes for them I never really looked back.

Elegant simplicity has been at the heart of Emma Hunt London for seventeen years. Timelessly beautiful dresses are proudly made by hand in Britain for the discerning bride who appreciates quality and craftsmanship. For the 2016 collection, Emma was inspired by the romance of Czech artist Alphonse Much’s Art Nouveau illustrations along with the ethereal prettiness of a Midsummer Night’s Dream, while references to the 1930s jazz club decadence of the film, The Cotton Club, nod to a faded age of glamour. Delicately flowing frocks are for those who favour a soft femininity, with demure scooped backs and gently cascading frills the perfect understated highlights. Lightly sculpted silhouettes in silk satin and chiffon feature the prettiest antique-style lace overlays, while a few slinkier shapes with minimal detailing are simplicity at its best. Sleeves come in graceful fluted shapes and longer sheer styles, making shoulders and wrists a becoming way to show a little skin. Strapless and shoestring strap styles also return to be combined with a selection of lace and tulle jackets so brides can find a truly individual look.
