With brides to be investing lots of time carefully choosing their jewellery, finding the perfect pieces to complement a wedding day style is essential. The look created by a bride for her big day is a combination of personality, glamour, and that fairytale twist – and the beautiful jewels selected to complement the dress should be little sparkling works of art.
Nearly half of brides today choose their own wedding day jewellery, and look to spend between £50 and £100 on these special touches, so being able to find beautiful and original accessories is essential. Complementing the dress, hairstyle and overall theme for the day, whether it be romantic, vintage or modern, are all important aspects of perfecting the bridal look.
Radiance Boutique is a stunning collection of hand crafted Swarovski crystal and crystal pearl wedding accessories. From delicate earrings with crystal drops that shimmer and shine, to stunning pearl encrusted bracelets which are both eye catching and graceful, the range is simple and elegant; the perfect finishing touch.
Necklaces and hair combs complete the collection, with designs to complement the sleek and sophisticated to the fairytale and flamboyant. With each piece lovingly made to order, the bride receives a personal service and the jewellery she’s always imagined for her special day.
Classy and colourful bridesmaid gifts feature in the range too, and are the perfect present to thank the special girls sharing the day. Add colour and sparkle in shades to complement the bridesmaid dresses to create an extra special touch.
For the most charming and gorgeous jewellery, Radiance Boutique has that something special to create the perfect and memorable bridal look; making dreams come true and styles come to life.

The 2.5 minute Mission
Officially launched at the beginning of March this year, this is one Oxford eatery that has gone from strength to strength since the ‘open’ sign was turned to face the waiting crowds for the first time.
In the bustling town centre, but just off the beaten track, The Mission Mexican Grill has had a cult following since whispers started amongst the local community of American students that the burrito was finally coming to Oxford.
On opening, the restaurant delighted diners with the freshest and finest ingredients, creating truly authentic California-Mexican cuisine in the form of burritos, fajita burritos, tacos and salad bowls. “True to his roots” one American diner commented on enjoying lunch at The Mission. And this is certainly a lunch – “One burrito at lunchtime in The Mission and I was still full at supper” said The Oxford Student in a recent review.
Now, and moving forward The Mission takes pride it it’s pledge to only serve full of flavour, wholesome food, bringing a much welcome change to the food to go market. “It is possible for a quick meal before a film or whilst out exploring the city to combine the best quality ingredients, amazing flavours and value for money all wrapped up in a tortilla!” says owner Jan Rasmussen.
Jan and his wife Sharon also own popular neighbourhood café Greens on St Giles. Having launched The Mission in Oxford at the start of Spring they’ve been truly overwhelmed by the response from local shoppers, tourists and students alike. A month after opening they were serving 1000 burritos a week, and now just three months down the line this has doubled to almost 2000 – one every 2 ½ minutes!
This is why staff at the restaurant are trained, expert burrito makers. Watching them create your lunch is mesmerising. Quite how everything fits and remains within the flour tortilla is a mystery – the chicken, rice, beans, guacamole, sour cream, cheese, salsa – this mouthwatering medley is probably the most satisfying shopping stop or pre drinks fill up that you’ll find in the city.
And the burrito may be bringing smiles to more faces very soon. Jan is currently looking at potential plans for expansion into other key cities across the UK, with other university towns being at the top of the list. The philosophy clearly works; and with a Mexican chef on board, it really is an authentic experience at The Mission, something owner Jan is dedicated to continuing. “I’m excited about the possibility of introducing Cal-Mex cuisine to other cities; there is a definite market for good food on the go; the burrito is the answer, and we know burritos!”.

Additional Information.
The Mission burrito, named as it hails from the Mission District in San Francisco, was refined and embellished in the area and dates back to the 1960’s. The style has spread widely through the San Francisco Bay area, with variations spreading across the US.
The San Francisco burrito, often referred to as a Mission or Mission-style burrito is distinguished partly by the amount of rice and other side dishes included in the package and partly by the sheer size of the foil wrapped meal.
Some say that Mission burritos were inspired by burritos brought into the fields by California Central Valley farm workers, and that they were adopted in the city from there. The cuisine is often referred to as Cal-Mex or Mexican-American.

What women want
Research shows that far from the sumptuous pampering experience we long for when visiting the hairdressers, we’re usually left slightly irritated and still wanting after relaxing surroundings, something refreshing and slightly sparkling to sip on, and a (recent) copy of Vogue or Grazia to get stuck into.
Time to de-stress and relax is hard to come by for most of us, and a recent study shows that although a salon trip should be the perfect opportunity, we’re just not getting what we want out of the experience.
About to turn 30 and ready to take on the challenge of bringing a breath of fresh air to the hairdressing scene, Jeni Aldridge from Coventry opened Hush Hush in Leamington Spa town centre at the start of April this year.
Having started her career in the Coventry area 16 years ago, Jeni has gone from Saturday girl to successful salon owner, and has been involved in London and Paris Fashion weeks as well as shoots for glossy magazines along the way. Jeni identified Leamington as the perfect place for a salon with a twist and Hush Hush was born.
“Visiting a salon should be about a complete experience – a time when you can switch off and unwind, and be pampered for a few hours” says Jeni. So, quietly nestling above shops and offices on Leamington’s Regent Street is a real hidden gem – an Aladdin’s cave.
Hush Hush as a salon is a stunning and eclectic mix of boudoir style chic and Parisian glamour. As soon as you reach the top of the stairs and take a first glimpse inside you know you’ve found nirvana, a place of heavenly calm.
“I wanted to create a more holistic experience, away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The environment here is designed to be enjoyable for both clients to spend time in; and for staff to work in”.
Already Jeni is looking to take someone else on in the salon. But not just to rent a chair. Such a special place needs special people – as Jeni says, someone who believes in the Hush Hush philosophy of offering an indulgent treat for any one who visits. And that someone will also have the pleasure of coming to work in this beautiful sanctuary each day.
But the sweet surprises don’t stop there. Hush Hush also offer lots of other little luxuries. For those looking for a glam up do for a night out this is definitely the place to come. Jeni also specialises in hair up for weddings so offers pampering packages for brides and their bridesmaids including lots of thoughtful little extras.
Jeni credits the success of Hush Hush to her desire to give something special to customers, and also to a little bit of girl power. “I wouldn’t be where I was now without my closest friends. With help designing my logo, flowers for the salon and a jewellery party being hosted here on July 20th, they’ve really helped me realise a dream, they’re amazing girls”.
With an opportunity to share in the success of this unique enterprise open to the right person, if you think you’ve got what it takes to step in alongside Jeni and bring some luxury to Leamington then contact the salon on 01926 430880.
