| A touch of timeless glamour |
 |
Exclusive London boutique Ellie & Charlotte already began to create a name for itself when it won Bridal Boutique of the Year in 2008 for its brilliant bespoke service.
But that was just the start, and it has added a new line up to its repertoire - E&C by Ellie & Charlotte. This new made-to-order collection is probably best described as a selection of timeless classics, with an elegant modern twist. Think delicate lace detailing with vintage elements like waist-cinching sashes and figure-hugging shapes.
Ellie & Charlotte prides itself on giving brides everywhere the opportunity to practically design their own gowns, made with the finest silks, lace and embroidery.

Bridesmaids come in all shapes and sizes, so if you're searching for the perfect dresses you might want to take a peek at online wedding boutique, Styleshake.co.uk, to personally design the perfect gowns.
StyleShake allows you to choose matching dresses tailored to every kind of body shape, available in an array of colours and fabrics.
"It is a real dilemma for the bride to make a decision about which styles of dresses to choose for her bridesmaids on the day," says StyleShake CEO Iris Ben Davis. "She knows that her girlfriends all have different areas that they would like to reveal and conceal and unique tastes, but at the same time she has an aesthetic in mind and a mood she wants to capture. StyleShake's aim is to eliminate this pressure and make the process fun and exciting!"
The dresses are available in colours including orchid, wine, poppy and teal. And for wedding parties who order three or more dresses, they can benefit from a 10 per cent discount. Visit www.styleshake.co.uk to find out more.

| Introducing...Brides at Work |
 |
Talk about bridal parties in unexpected places... We here at County Wedding Magazines are proud to be supporting the new Brides at Work campaign - a national day on 17th September when brides old and new from all over the country will be wearing their wedding dresses to work to raise money for Breakthrough Breast Cancer.
In association with The National Wedding Show, brides, bridesmaids, grooms and mother-of-the-brides everywhere are being urged wear their wedding finery and celebrate Brides at Work.
Even if you don't own a wedding dress, you can show your support in other ways. Why not have some fun and get the girls together to host an office bake sale in your tiaras?
It doesn't matter if you got married 20 years ago, or it's currently a work in progress, anyone can help raise money for the fight against breast cancer. For more information, or to register for a Brides at Work fundraising pack, visit www.breakthrough.org.uk/get_involved/raise_money/brides_at_work/
