Savin London’s glamorous wedding gown collection features elegant silhouettes and luxe fabrics fit for a queen, and where better to show them off than former royal residence Hever Castle

Our fashion story focuses on British heritage old and new. Savin London gowns are designed and made in Andrey Savin’s Greenwich, London atelier. We’ve accessorised his glamorous gowns with bridal shoes and accessories by Emmy London, and diamonds from bespoke London and Kent jeweller Dominic Walmsley. Our sumptuous setting Hever Castle has a history dating back to the 13th century and is former home of royalty and the Astor family. The shoot takes place in Hever’s romantic Italian Garden, the perfect setting to be queen for a day.
