The launch night will be hosted by gay supermodel and writer Jack Guinness, whose website Queer Bible is a celebration of gay history. Jack says:

“I cannot wait to meet all of the #engayged couples who attend the first ever Pridelux on Friday 13th September, and share this amazing journey with them as they prepare for their wedding day. Pridelux is a major new addition to London’s LGBT calendar, and a world first”

This event, tailored specifically to the needs of gay couples will include bridal gowns for a lesbian wedding by Vivienne Westwood, groom-and-groom suits by Gieves & Hawkes, plus a wealth of other premium brands exhibiting collections, products and services that tailor specifically to LGBTQ+ couples, at what is set to be an unforgettable beautifully curated day in the sky.

Zero sugar gin will be provided by Bloom Gin and Ladurée will be offering macarons in every colour of the rainbow, of course!

While we’re celebrating five years of equal marriage in Britain this year, homophobic attacks are

actually on the rise, and still only 28 countries have marriage equality, Britain arguably has a

global responsibility to offer gay marriage role models. At Pridelux, which hopes to become a

major new annual event and must-attend for gay nearly-weds, 250 #engayged couples will

celebrate their unity, plan their special day, and enjoy sunset drinks together with unparalleled

views across London at this unforgettable LGBTQ+ occasion in Europe’s tallest building.

Each luxury brand has been approved according to Pridelux’s LGBTQ+ policy, ensuring that all exhibitors not only offer services tailored to the queer community but understand the issues that they face – making this a milestone event and the first of its kind. Kate Lovell, the editor of the Gay Wedding Guide, is a co-founder of Pridelux with James Lord.

The event will be hosted by gay supermodel Jack Guinness who came onboard as soon as he heard about Pridelux, loving the idea of it. Named “Britain’s coolest man” by GQ, Jack is the founder of LGBTQ+ website The Queer Bible which celebrates the works and lives of the global queer community.

Jack also has an inside-out knowledge of fashion and lifestyle trends. James Lord, founder of Pridelux says:

“We’re thrilled to be working with Jack as he’s central to the capital’s LGBT culture while also being synonymous with luxury, having worked with some of the world’s biggest fashion houses. He is the perfect man to toast nearly-weds at Pridelux”
