In her hair, Rose wore a a hair vine she made herself using offcuts of the floral trims from her dress, together with extra beads and pearls from a shop in North London. Rose’s auburn locks were styled by Fabio Vivan, and her make-up was by Claire Carter. ![]() There were also lovely floral arrangements from Rose and Matt’s local florists, Windmill Flowers, who also created a wonderful autumnal inspired bouquet for Rose. The former altar of the Asylum Chapel was covered in softly flickering pillar candles, and there were festoon lights strung across the beautiful old walls. I’ve always celebrated Halloween, and this just seemed like a fun thing to incorporate into our wedding.” I love autumnal colours, and once I’d decided on a gold dress, this just seemed to make everything else fit. “Once we’d decided on a date (chosen as I didn’t want to wait more than a year after getting engaged, and didn’t want the hassle/expense of a summer wedding) I really got into Autumn/Halloween as a theme.” Mules embroidered with gold lobsters were from Kurt Geiger, and the fragrance Rose wore was Jo Malone’s Peony & Blush Suede, chosen for her by Matt. “I always knew I didn’t want to wear any kind of white dress, and I thought when is there the chance to wear an amazing sparkly ballgown if not on your wedding day?! I wanted to look different, and ultimately I wanted to look a bit like a mermaid, which I think I achieved!” I love that Margo is also based in South East London, which kept in with our local theme.” “I would definitely recommend Margo to any other brides, especially if you really want a one off, made to measure dress. I went for fittings so many times (I’ve lost count of how many times!) and she was always so happy to see me and made sure all my requests were carried out, no matter how trivial they seemed.” We designed the dress together from scratch, Margo went out shopping for trims for the dress and sent me photos of everything she found that I could pick from. “I absolutely loved every minute of the process. What incredible craft from Margo – a slinky gold sequinned gown with contrasting floral embroidery and embellishment on the cuffs and around the waist. I just love that Rose and Matt embraced the colour and drama of the season, and Rose’s dress, which she designed together with Margo Stankova was an absolute showstopper. They became engaged on top of a mountain in Lapland, and held their wedding almost exactly a year later. They were married on the 2 November 2019 at Asylum Chapel in Peckham, followed by a reception at the lovely East Dulwich Tavern, and first met via Tinder. This is the wedding of garment technologist Rose and her love Matt, who is a lecturer. Read on for a bride in gold sequins and lobster embroidered mules, bridesmaids in luscious burnt orange velvet dresses, a groom with a gold bow tie, and all the wonderful colours of autumn, with lots of Halloween inspiration. Joy abounds in this glorious celebration we’re sharing with you today, with a ceremony at one of London’s most achingly beautiful re-purposed venues, and a relaxed pub reception. ![]()
