The good will and excitement resulted in many of Celia and Abe’s talented West London friends contributing to their special day in some way.
Make-up artist Celia Burton married Abe Khadem at Marylebone Town Hall on the first weekend in September, before taking over Kensington favourite Ognisko for a night to remember. Here, the bride tells Britishabout finding her perfect wedding dress in her friend Molly Goddard’s studio, the surprise gift from bridesmaid Adwoa Aboah that made her cry, and all the other special touches that made the couple’s big day unforgettable.
While we were stuck inside, separated from our friends and thinking about planning a wedding, two events stood out vividly in our recent memory as inspiration. My oldest friend Otis Ingrams got married over the first weekend in September 2019 and it was magical. The sun was still shining, everyone was tanned and relaxed from their summers and ready for one last knees up before going back to the grind.
We had a civil ceremony at Marylebone Town Hall in front of a small group of friends and family who screamed and cheered loud enough to disturb the wedding next door and get a telling off. After lunch at Ognisko, another 100 people came to join us for speeches, cake and dancing. Olivia Dean, a friend and client of mine, and her band sang six of our favourite songs, including “You Send Me” by Aretha Franklin and “She’s Electric” by Oasis.
It had been proving really hard to find shoes with the right personality for my dress, but Adwoa Aboah – one of my many bridesmaids – introduced me to a truly fabulous pair of mules at Alaïa. With a heart-shaped toe, PVC strap and stiletto heel, they were cute but really elegant. On top of all that, they made our legs look great, so I bought a pair in white and she bought them in black.
