What is your favourite wedding dress of all time?
I'd like to say mine but since being in the wedding industry I have had the pleasure of seeing so many incredible designers. Bowen-Drdyen dresses are totally unique and a real statement piece - I have these in the boutique. My all time favourite would be the one worn by Solange Knowles (Beyonce's sister) she wore a stunning yet simple jumpsuit then changed into a Kenzo dress with cape - so classic, modern and she looked incredible.
