All the latest from the city TEA PARTY WITH YOUR HENS If you’re in the throes of planning your hen party and love a good brew you’re in luck because Bird & Blend Tea Co has just launched two new classes for 2023, that’d be perfect for your celebration – the Magic Potions Brewing Workshop and Cocktail Tea Mixology Masterclass. The Magic Potions Brewing Workshop invites guests to take an immersive step into conjuring up shimmering, colour changing and whimsical tea-infused potions – all whilst the smoke swirls, the smells take over and the senses awaken. The Cocktail Tea Mixology Masterclass will teach you and your guests how to have fun whilst making cocktail syrups, concentrates and garnishes, and offer the knowledge and skills to elevate your favourite drinks. All of this whilst enjoying tea and cocktail tasting! Both events are taking place at the Islington and Portobello Road Bird & Blend Tea Co. locations and cost £45 per head.

As with each collection at Indiebride London, the dresses are inspired by the materials that are available to source at that moment in time, offering an authentic, alternative and honest approach to bridalwear. The gowns are designed to be worn with confidence at natural, rustic and bohemian-style celebrations. The collection introduces three new vegan materials, which are made of Tencel Lyocell, with the aim to replace the ivory silk and crinkled silk chiffon originally used to welcome vegan brides into the Indiebride world. While the wedding industry anticipates an increase of brides seeking vegan-friendly gowns, the collection is designed for everyone who seeks a wedding dress that offers a level of comfort that’s hard to find elsewhere, as well as a non-formal gown that remains stylish and fashion focused. Located within an atmospheric church on Brixton Road, the Indiebride London studio awaits. Born in 2008, Indiebride London has developed over the years, transforming from a ready-to-wear brand before establishing itself as the go-to bridal studio for heirloom quality gowns with a sustainable edge.
