Beauty and Class: Dartmouth House Wedding

By Claire


“My wed­ding dress, made of ivory French corded lace, shrug and veil were all by cou­ture wed­ding designer, Chris­tine Kendall. Chris­tine runs her bridal bou­tique from New Cavendish Street, Lon­don and I loved it because it was as dif­fer­ent from the reg­u­lar bridal shops as it was pos­si­ble to get. I had sev­eral fit­tings with Chris­tine and each time, Chris­tine was an oasis of calm pro­fes­sion­al­ism, exactly what I needed!

My wed­ding shoes were from Zara and my ear­rings from Lib­erty in love. The Hair acces­sories were from Glitzy Secrets.

Nimish wore a bespoke gray three piece suit from King & Allen.


Our wed­ding day was the per­fect cul­mi­na­tion of sev­eral months plan­ning. We had a beau­ti­ful catholic wed­ding cer­e­mony at Farm Street Church presided over by Fr William Pearsall. This was fol­lowed by a cham­pagne recep­tion and wed­ding break­fast at Dart­mouth House, May­fair, a gor­geous Geor­gian man­sion run by the Eng­lish Speak­ing Union. In the evening, we had a more relaxed bar­be­cue and drinks recep­tion fol­lowed by the cake cut­ting and the danc­ing.




The day was par­tic­u­larly per­fect as it turned out just as we wanted it. We were able to bring together the degree of for­mal­ity in the day I wanted with the relaxed party atmos­phere that Nimish wanted and we both thor­oughly enjoyed every minute of it in the com­pany of our friends and family.”






What one piece of advice would you give to Eng­lish Wed­ding readers?

Book the recep­tion venue as early as pos­si­ble as venue view­ing was the most stress­ful part of the process for us.“
