In Love
Romance starts across the road with artist Tracey Emin’s giant pink LED love letters “I want my time with you” over the Eurostar arrivals in St Pancras Station.
It’s London’s most exclusive inclusive wedding venue. The penthouse level of The Standard Hotel. Decimo restaurant is the perfect setting for holding your licenced ceremony (up to 60 guests) and wedding breakfast (up to 140 guests) before heading across the 10th floor hallway for Champagne in Sweeties bar (up to 400 guests). Those views! Even from the loos! Far below, people scurry about like tiny stick figures in a Laurence Lowry painting, each one the main character of their own story. In the wee small hours you can crawl into a Cosy Core or sashay into a Suite Spot to retire and more.
The in-laws won’t fail to be impressed by indie design stationery from With Bells On. Award winning event planning company Whole Lota Love will make sure the only hitch you’ll have will be getting hitched. My Lady Garden, empowerment through floristry, will transform the restaurant into a horticultural wonderland. Francesca Strange from east London bakery The Proof will make your cake, whether white or rainbow, sponge of chocolate. Shag (named after the carpet, not something else) is their signature style. As for your bridesmaids, Rewritten will dream up contemporary boho dresses for any shape or size of gal. Canapés upon arrival are a must. Baby artichoke, tostada, rose harissa, basil; pea and leek with hollandaise sauce; and spiced fishcake with XO sauce signpost the quality of Michelin starred Chef Peter Sanchez-Iglesias’ handiwork.
Cool party hot crowd. Or is it hot party cool crowd? Either way, The Standard’s resident DJs will provide the soundtrack from remixes of Tyla’s Water to mashups of Lola Marsh.
