Meet Russell Blackburn of Blackburn Bridal Couture in Blackheath, London...

How would you describe your boutique?
Just fifteen minutes from Central London, our beautiful boutique offers a haven of tranquility in leafy Blackheath. The moment you enter our world of bridal pretty, you'll be taken care of. Our staff will do their utmost to achieve the vision you have for your perfect bridal look. Fashion-forward, cool, elegant and bohemian, our brides travel from all over the world to visit us.

What designers do you stock?
We stock three exclusive designers: Anna Campbell, Rish and Anna Kara. We also have my own range, Blackburn Couture, which draws upon my extensive knowledge of having dressed thousands of brides over the past fifteen years. Modern, elegant and totally exclusive, it epitomises effortless beauty.

Tell us about your own wedding outfit...
I was fortunate enough to wear a cream dinner suit by one of my favourite designers, Vivienne Westwood, when I married my husband in 2013.

What's your standout moment in your bridal career?
I have been very blessed over the years, but I think the monumental moments are opening my boutique in 2005 and going on to launch my own collection in 2012.
