EXQUISITE BRIDE EXPERIENCE
Our Exquisite Bride Experience is a unique opportunity designed for brides-to-be who dream of exuding grace and elegance on their special day in the enchanting setting of the Cotswolds.
​
Our experience includes four hours of private coaching with our principal, Emma Dupont, a certified British etiquette consultant with a decade of experience. She has worked with over 350 ladies worldwide, helping them gain confidence, elegance, and poise. This experience is also ideal for hen parties seeking a refined and graceful event.
​
​
Step into the world of luxury with our Exquisite Bride Experience, where every bride can feel confident and beautiful on her big day. Whether it's her first or fourth marriage, we believe every bride deserves to feel luxurious and pampered.
As the excitement of being a bride builds, it's natural for insecurities to surface. But she need not fear—our four-hour experience is not just about perfecting her deportment; it's also about having fun along the way and adding that extra element of pampering in the exciting lead-up to the big day.​​​​​
Our Exquisite Bride Experience is a comprehensive package that covers all the essential skills a bride could wish for to embody the vision she holds for herself. Upon arrival, she will be welcomed with a glass of champagne* and be escorted into a private elegant room, where she will savour four hours of personalised attention on the key aspects of elegance, confidence, and grace and enjoy a delicious three-course luncheon.
​
​This experience can also be extended to include the bride's coterie and complements a spa treatment for a total pampering experience or a hen party that wishes to experience something gentile and feminine.
​
For this experience, we work directly with brides and we also collaborate with Cotswold hotels, wedding planners, bridal boutiques, wedding photographers, makeup artists, and hairdressers.
​
Graceful Deportment
Through Emma's personalised coaching, brides can enhance their confidence, ensuring they are not disappointed when seeing their wedding photographs and videos.
​
Emma will provide guidance on walking gracefully down the aisle, maintaining a poised stance while conversing with guests and the art of the perfect pose for stunning photographs.
​
She will then delve into the intricacies of walking and sitting, gracefully entering and exiting the bridal car, and navigating stairs with poise while adorned in a wedding gown and heels.
​
The bride will be photographed and recorded so she can see the guidance offered and use the skills she learns to practice at home before the wedding day.
​
​
Social Graces
Weddings can present particular challenges, especially for ladies who identify as introverts. However, it's entirely possible to navigate the day without sacrificing their authentic selves.​
​
Emma will provide a structured approach, helping them feel at ease engaging in small talk with guests and preventing uncomfortable or awkward situations. We'll focus on overcoming the tendency to engage in disjointed conversations to ease their anxiety.
Our objective is to provide the bride with the ability to confidently navigate the day, smoothly move from one conversation to another, and ensure they distribute their attention equally among all their guests.​​
​
If the bride is planning to give a speech, Emma can also provide guidance on elocution to ensure a smooth and confident delivery, including pace, pauses, inflection, intonation, and timing.
​
​
Elegant Dining
​The wedding reception can feel akin to walking a precarious tightrope, where one misstep could stain the bride's pristine white wedding dress.
Emma will impart a comprehensive understanding of the intricate details of British dining etiquette during a leisurely three-course luncheon with a glass of champagne or wine*. Here, the bride will learn how to dine elegantly and, as importantly, what to do if something goes wrong!
​
During the meal, they will learn the key aspects of British dining etiquette for formal and informal British dining. They will be equipped with the knowledge to navigate any British dining occasion, and these skills will empower the bride with confidence to expertly navigate her wedding breakfast.
Throughout the meal there will be ample opportunity to ask Emma questions on all manner of British wedding etiquette.
