"In the Pink"
An oldie from Pip's (Ben's Mother) tenor of the Ocean View Club... Almost 30 years old it is interesting note what has changed and what hasn't on the little rock called 'Briland'..."There are none of the usual signs of a discovered placed...Nothing that could be considered a "scene"..."No hotel of the moment...Life revolves mostly around four guesthouses." Simpler times...

"Where sand meets the sea"
Little Island's first Brides magazine feature. Ben and Charlie were a few years into doing decor, flowers and catering for pop beach events and about to move into the hotel business. The wedding was a simple boho-elegant affair and 'Cha-cha' the little red skiff never looked so good...

"All in the Family"
Conde Nast were kind to do feature on the Ocean View Club just after Ben and Charlie took operational contral of the property..2015.. It was a crazy year - Taking over the family business, figuring out how to make it work, folding in the wedding operations, beginning the construction of the new hotel in Eleuthera (the other side) and becoming a parents (!)...to top it all off Ben lost a kidney in the same year. It's nice to have this article to sort of punctuate and capture the moment... .

"Return to the beach"
The first time one of our Brides was feature on the Cover of Bride's Magazine...When a DJ marries and Model you know there is going to be epic party. This wedding was produced completely in house and despite high octane party vibes (five different Dj's performed late into the night) the aesthetic more appropriately into the Other side natural vibes - subtle use of forage greens with pops of whites - simple, beautiful.

'Distilled Tranquility'
A short spread but really speaks to Ben and Charlie's 'raison d'etre' for creating the Other Side...built first and foremost with love for their kids but also for simplicity, imperfection and the tranquility that accepting the former two concepts (and therefore 'letting go') can provide...
