We love it when a sparkly invitation arrives in our inbox, promising a night of fashion, jewellery, hair styling collaborations and when we found out there was cake involved, we RSVP’d straight away!

Olivier Laudus – Gorgeous Bridal Accessory Consultation Studio

On 7th July 2011, we hot footed it to award-winning hair salon Jordan Burr just round the corner from Selfridges in Central London for the launch party for online boutique Olivier Laudus’ first consultation studio.  The launch party was attended by wedding industry friends and journalists and we all had a fabulous catch up over a glass of bubbly and also a cute cake with a diamante on top!  The studio is based within award-winning hair salon Jordan Burr and enjoys an enviable central London location, just a few minutes’ walk from Bond Street tube. Brides-to-be are able to book appointments to discuss their accessory requirements and more importantly view and try pieces on from the Olivier Laudus online boutique.

Opening a consultation studio was the brain-child of Sangeeta Laudus, co-founder of Olivier Laudus, after a year of meeting with clients on an informal basis at Jordan Burr to show them pieces. Sangeeta says : “Clients welcomed the opportunity to be able to try different designs, particularly our hair accessories, and it was great being able to call on the expertise of the stylists in the salon to discuss bridal hair styles and which pieces work with different hair types. We also enjoyed having the opportunity to meet our clients and give them personal attention and advice which is very key to our business. Setting up a permanent base in the salon was the next logical step and we are really excited with our new venture and future collaborations with Jordan Burr.”

Olivier & friends, enjoying the launch night

Chic, stylish and in-keeping with the Olivier Laudus brand’s contemporary feel, the studio is decorated with flock wallpaper with a black and cream colour scheme and provides a lovely backdrop for the consultations. So far it has been well received by brides. Consultations are by appointment, with evening and weekend meetings available.
