The Dua Lipa effect: registry office or celebrant?
If you’ve seen the photos of Dua Lipa stepping out of London’s Old Marylebone Town Hall in custom Schiaparelli last week, you’ll know exactly why we’re having this conversation.

We’ve pulled together insights from some of our favourite celebrants and photographers to help you decide which option fits the way you want to mark the day.
