ISSUE FW’26
In our new FW’26 issue, we take you to the south of France and to Renée and Jan’s wedding, which was a celebration of love, friendship and style. We also sit down with Louis Abel founder Jimmy Loutfi for an in-depth interview about how his own wedding rings marked the start of a new chapter in fine jewellery, and look ahead to New York Bridal Fashion Week for the silhouettes, details and ideas that will set the tone for the coming season.

Flower girls at a wedding
Flower girls at a wedding. Flower girls are usually two or more smartly dressed children, aged 4–8, who walk ahead of the bride and groom into the church.
Flower girls are usually two or more smartly dressed children, aged 4–8, who walk ahead of the bride and groom into the church. They symbolise the cycle of life.
The wedding party forms a semicircle around the bride and groom, but if the flower girls are very young, they are usually seated at the front of the church where a friendly relative looks after them during the ceremony. A slightly older child can take on the task of holding the bridal bouquet when the exchange of rings is about to take place, if there are no bridesmaids.
The page boys may carry flower baskets and wear flowers in their hair. Sometimes the page boys scatter flower petals in front of them as they walk into the church.
A common question is who pays for the page boys’ outfits. It depends on the circumstances and financial means, but also on whether the bride and groom have any specific preferences regarding the level of formality. In that case, the bride and groom should pay; otherwise, simpler attire is fine, and the page’s parents usually pay.
