Working closely with Jenny Packham for seven years means that you pick up a thing or two about weddings. Which is why we’re particularly excited about new bridal accessories boutique Millany.com – the business baby of Tamsin Ridgwell, Packham’s former brand and PR director.

With almost a decade of experience producing catwalk shows, shoots and working closely with the stylists of celebrities including Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz and Miranda Kerr, Tamsin’s eye for perfection is flawless – a boon for those sourcing their dream finishing touches for their wedding.

‘I wanted to bring an innovative, contemporary style and shopping environment to brides internationally,’ Tamsin tells us. ‘A bride in Japan has the same exposure to style references and influences as a bride in Los Angeles. We believe that a large number of women want to project a style reflective of their ready-to-wear style choices and not the dated ‘princess and tiara’ style.’

In other words, the Millany bride knows what she likes and doesn’t want to be bound by tradition.

‘She looks to the runway and red carpet for her style influences,’ Tamsin explains. ‘She is internationally and culturally aware, independent and wants her style to be reflective of how she defines herself day-to-day, from her hair and make-up to her dress and of course, her accessories.’

If that sounds like you (tick), be sure to check it out. Stocking everything from headdresses to hairpins and earrings, the impressive roster of designers onboard includes Jennifer Behr, Emmy, Hermione Harbutt and Flo and Percy. The site will also feature style advice from industry experts such as Jo Malone and Current Elliot founders Emily and Meritt.
