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.

Time is flying by and suddenly there are only two months to go until the day you’ve been dreaming of. The planning is starting to fall into place and now it’s all about fine-tuning the details that will make the whole experience special – for both you and your guests.
The coming weeks are perfect for getting organised, finalising your choices and giving yourself space to enjoy the journey to the altar. It’s the little preparations that make a big difference – the ones that create a sense of calm, control and anticipation.
Here are 7 things you can tick off right now – small steps to help you feel ready, present and radiant when the big day finally arrives. You’re so close now. Let the countdown begin!
Book beauty treatments
Schedule your treatments well in advance of the wedding – such as facials, waxing, haircuts, spray tans or lash lifts. Try to spread them out so you don’t get stressed and have time to make adjustments if anything doesn’t turn out as you’d imagined!
Final dress fitting
Book your final fitting and make sure all the details are in place – from accessories and underwear to shoes. Everything must be ready to wear on the big day!
Plan the details of the ceremony
Go through the ceremony with the officiant – finalise your vows, readings and the order of proceedings. If you’re writing your own vows, now’s the perfect time to start!
Create a wedding packing list
Write down everything you need to take with you – from clothes and a first-aid kit to decorations, signs, chargers, comfortable shoes and much more.
This list will make life so much easier when there are only a few days left until the wedding!

Book a final walk-through of the wedding venue
Take your wedding coordinator (if you have one) with you and go through the entire day’s programme – from the ceremony and reception to dinner and dancing. A final check of the venue gives you peace of mind and helps everything run smoothly.
Create a ‘to-do list’ with your photographer
Go through which photos are most important to you – family photos, group shots and special moments you absolutely don’t want to miss (like the secret dance surprise!). A clear list will help the photographer capture everything you’ve dreamed of.
Appoint key people for the wedding day
Ask a few trusted friends or family members to take responsibility for various tasks – such as liaising with suppliers, answering guests’ questions or keeping an eye on the schedule. You don’t want your mobile full of calls and texts whilst you’re getting ready!
