This week, for the first time, Anya Hindmarch is showcasing her bespoke bridal collection of photo albums and personalised wedding gifts. These are available from her Pont Street boutique and the sky really is the limit when it comes to adding your own touches to her already beautiful pieces. All you need to do is visit the boutique, choose your design and chat through the options with the expert craftsmen. Take inspiration from these gift ideas:
- Wedding photo album: Order a leather photo album embossed with the initials or names of you and your groom. It'll look oh-so chic on your coffee table.
- Gift for your groom: Treat your groom to a leather wallet with a personal inscription added to an inner pocket.
- Momento of your day: For an elegant keepsake, incorporate a photo from your wedding day into the lid of a precious jewellery box.
