Golden Bride

In the green

With bases in Windsor and London, and a who’s who client list for weddings and events, Lavender Green is now in its 28th year, and blooming. Its Chelsea store is an oasis of lush flowers and foliage in the city and you can even host a ‘Final Countdown’ party here. Photo: TwobyTwo. Gown: Emilia Wickstead. lavendergreen.co.uk
