Luxury department store Selfridges London announced that it will be hosting in-person weddings at the Oxford location for a limited time. Selfridges London will offer three different wedding packages–Just-The-Two-Of-Us, Earth Lovers, and All-Out Extraordinary–that will be themed around the Selfridges department store experience. The packages will include a pre-wedding outfit appointment, hair, makeup, and grooming appointments, and an elegant meal on the day of the wedding. More extravagant options include VIP use of The Cinema at Selfridges, dedicated day-of wedding support, and a 4-hour DJ set.
With a large number of weddings postponed due to pandemic restrictions, Selfridges London will supplement the need for wedding locations and inclusive wedding packages. Alongside the packages' features, Selfridges London announced that it would cater to couples' needs on an individual basis to ensure the wedding process is both smooth and special.
