From earrings with meaning and the scent of summer to sweet things and bridesmaid glamour, here are ten things we absolutely love for the season to come
1. Sweet round
We absolutely love macarons and, with flavours such as Raspberry Madness, Mint Julep and Arabesque Jasmine, Senda El Kardali’s authentic French treats are unbelievably moreish. You’re going to need a bigger dessert table. From £17.99 for nine; treatmesweet.org.uk
2. Strong words
Keep the faith through trying times with Alex Monroe’s Love&Hope asymmetric statement drop earrings. Shown here in gold plated silver, you’ll also find them in silver. £345; alexmonroe.com
3. Romantic revival
Kitten heels are a classic, especially in New Romantic paisley silk brocade. Mandarina’s glorious selection includes these Octavia Silver Slingbacks with blue micro suede lining. £145; mandarinashoes.co.uk
4. Ring me
Taylor & Hart will design your dream ring, with stones and setting to match your style. With more delicate designs rising in popularity, they report that yellow and rose golds and coloured gems are also having a revival. taylorandhart.com
5. Traveller’s zest
The honeymoon may be in planning, but Lavender & Lillie’s candles and diffusers take you on an exotic journey. We particularly love Praslin, Seychelles, a heady mix of coco de mere, bougainvillea, frangipani and gardenia. £48 for diffuser; lavenderandlillie.com
6. Shady spot
Tap into the nature-inspired mood with these classic Garland shades from Black Eyewear, cut square to flatter most face shapes. You’ll find them available with plain or prescription lenses. £197; blackeyewear.com
7. Dream dresses
TH&TH’s upcoming bridesmaid collection has gowns that will ensure your attendants feel like princesses. This beyond glamorous pink Anais gown is – we predict – set to be a star choice in 2021. thandth.com
8. Heirloom time
Inspired by a piece created during the Belle Époque, this white gold Heure Romantique watch from Vacheron Constantin is studded with 123 round cut diamonds and has a black mother of pearl face. POA; vacheron-constantin.com
9. Herb garden
Capture memories of summer with Herbae, a L’Occitane scent with fresh and citrus-floral notes based on white clover, grasses and angelica. £52 for 50ml; uk.loccitane.com
10. Green theme
We salute the environmental initiatives happening in bridal, notably at Pronovias, which is championing #WeDoEco. Its pledge extends from sustainable fabrics and local suppliers to innovative packaging that’s kind to the planet. Now that’s something we can all absolutely love! pronovias.com
