I’m the first person to suggest that you try and think outside the (fancy hotel) box when it comes to choosing your wedding venue, but on visiting the sumptuous new Rosewood London, I had a change of heart — I was most definitely wowed.

On entering the Edwardian cobblestoned courtyard (formerly used for horse-drawn carriages) the tone was set, and the more I explored it the more I loved it… British heritage combined with contemporary twists, a hip aesthetic and lots of thoughtful touches. Rosewood London stands out from other luxury hotels in that there isn’t an air of stuffiness or passà© about it — it oozes a breezy, sophisticated vibe and their playful and idiosyncratic details really appealed to my creative side.

The hotel opened nine months ago following an £85million makeover and is already set to be central London’s most in-demand wedding venue for fashionable nuptials, indeed one of their beautiful Jewish weddings has already been featured on the pages of Smashing The Glass!

I’m prone to spoiling my lovely readers and now one of you lucky lot (together with the love of your life) is going to experience the amazing Rosewood London for yourself. Yes, I’m giving you the chance to win an indulgent romantic overnight stay at London’s hippest new luxury hotel!

I hope you are ready for elegance and sophistication this Monday afternoon folks. Amanda and Brian’s gorgeous wedding has more than a touch of class about it and I’m delighted to be blogging the first ever wedding to have taken place at the the coolest new hotel kid on the block, the Rosewood London in High Holborn.

And as for the photography well….I don’t know how on earth Amanda and Brian ever chose what to put in their album, I was in raptures over the shots of the stationery and the rings before I even got to the delicious details and all important ceremony and party shots.

There’s a bride and groom that positively exude the whole happy-ever-after. There’s an utterly mesmerising chuppah. There’s laughter and crazy dancing and guests having the time of their lives. There are stunning portrait shots. It’s essentially a whole LOT of city chic glamour people, all courtesy of the genius that is David Pullum.

Oh and then there’s THE dress.
It’s breathtaking.

Just before I hand over to Amanda for her wedding report, I must just add that I was thrilled to hear that she was inspired to make a bride’s speech after reading an article in the Times, in which I was quoted, that talks about how the modern day bride is finally breaking her silence. I certainly feel that when you put your heart and soul into the planning, you do want to express yourself and say something… Amanda, being a rocking STG bride, has more to say on the subject (and so much more!) in her heartfelt and detailed write-up below.
