On the launch of April & Bloom, Founder Georgia Simmonds says: "I'm beyond excited to be launching April & Bloom to brides and bridal parties across the UK this week. The idea for April & Bloom sparked during my own wedding journey last year, when I wanted to give each of my bridesmaids a box filled with quality, yet affordable gifts that I knew they would genuinely love, use and keep. I couldn't find a brand that offered chic gifts that were aesthetically in line with my style and vision, all-in-one place, so I ended up sourcing products from lots of different websites, and putting the boxes together myself. I got such a positive response from the boxes I created that it got me to thinking, 'why not make this into a business for other like-minded brides!?'
"At April & Bloom our mission is to provide brides, bridal parties and wedding guests with beautiful gifts, which their loved ones will adore and remember forever. From the word 'yes' to the big 'I do', we're here for you, helping to add a little touch of magic along the way."

The Wedding Music Trends Couples Are Choosing for 2026
For couples planning 2026 weddings, music has moved beyond background noise - it's now a defining, intentional part of the overall experience.

A new era of wedding music that's immersive, personal, culturally rich, and joy-led. Few people have seen this evolution up close quite like DJ China L'One, founder of We Run the World, the UK's leading Black-owned, all-female DJ agency.
