Did someone say 'bandwagon'? Too right! I don't think I've ever been this excited. I don't think I was this excited this time last year when it was my wedding ...

Feels only right to do our bit for posterity and mark the event somehow, in fact, the only way we know how. WITH CASHMERE.

Thus our silent auction for our luxury hand-spun, hand-woven, hand-embroidered pure cashmere wedding ring shawl, so called because the cashmere from which it is made is so fine that it can be threaded through a woman's wedding ring. Fine indeed.

Pure Cashmere Hand-Spun, Hand-Woven, Hand-Embroidered Cashmere Wedding Ring Shawl

And so it begins ... The Wedding Season - set off by the Mother of all Weddings on the 29th April. It needs no further elaboration.

If your very special day is on the horizon then consider this. Ivory Faux Fur Shrug; soft, feminine, delicate and simmering with old-school glamour. For the past five years this has been our best-selling bridal accessory. InStyle Germany approves too and features it today on its website. Here's a snap:

    It appears that I am now that person who waits from 8am to 1pm for Virgin Media to turn up and fix the cable, only to find that they came at 10:12 but no-one was in so they left a card.  And the reason that no-one was in was because they got the wrong house. I’m now waiting for them from 1pm-6pm, so the phantom engineer has 8 minutes to turn up.

    So I thought I’d fill the 8 minutes with a posting. More like 6 minutes now. It occurs to me that there is a silver lining to being held ransom at home all day with no milk and no company and that is productivity.
     
    4 minutes.
     
    In short, The Wedding Collection is now up and running on Black. It is a selection of our best-selling bridal accessories including our famous Ivory Faux Fur and Silk Shrug and White Bow Cocktail Gloves. Additionally, we have some very elegant wraps, one studded with glimmering Swarovski crystals as well as a few silk charmeuse hair accessories.
     
    2 minutes.
     
    Beyond this is our bespoke service, which we can offer on a number of our lines. So if you felt like crystal-studded ivory opera length duchess satin gloves, well my dear, you could have them.
     
    0 minutes.
     
     

    Jilted.

     

     

    Black Wedding

    There's a first time for everything. So it was that over a week ago Black witnessed its very first wedding; not bad going for just under four years of trading. Worth underlining here that we accept that Black is an inanimate object and that what we mean is that other members of the Black team witnessed another member get married.

    Here is a gratuitous snap:

     

    The Black Wedding, as well as being a lovely affair, also marks the beginning of wedding season; a time of year where we pick up a number of calls from brides looking for the perfect ivory shrug, or lace gloves, or hair accessories for bridesmaids, or luxury shawls for wedding guests. With this in mind, we've decided to launch the Wedding Edit, where the wedding party can find all the accessories they need under one 'roof'.

    The Wedding Edit launches May 20 2010.
