Real weddings: Yasmin Sewell
When you live on the other side of the world and are juggling your first pregnancy with a new home while running your own business, it does not leave long to plan a wedding. Thankfully, fashion consultant Yasmin Sewell, 36, and husband Kyle Robinson, who owns a wholesale design showroom in London, had always wanted an informal affair.“We wanted it to feel more like a party than a formal wedding — to have a ‘Hot Night in Cuba’ vibe,” says Sydney-born Sewell. In a marquee in the beautiful garden, 140 guests celebrated with the scent of delphinium, hydrangeas, tuberoses and gardenias, all arranged in an assortment of jars and buckets, infusing the night air.

“The DJ picked the track for our first dance and we asked everyone to get up,” Sewell explains. “He chose New Order’s Bizzare Love Triangle. It’s one of my best memories of the night.”
Everything, from the feather-light paisley-printed tulle adorning the bodice to the sage-crocodile-skin-and-neutral-leather shoes, was handmade especially for the day.
The couple, who live in London, met three years ago at a party Sewell threw for Acne while she was creative director of department store Liberty of London
