Why we adore Caroline Castigliano’s Ultra Feminine and Timeless ‘Celebrating Romance’ Collection

by


In My Dreams by Caroline Castigliano

Do you believe in love at first sight? To be honest, we were a little skeptical… until we clapped eyes on the sensational 2018 ‘Celebrating Romance’ collection by Caroline Castigliano. We are totally and utterly OBSESSED with these gowns!

True to the Castigliano signature style, the stunning new collection, all handcrafted in the UK, is the embodiment of understated effortless glamour. The clean, classic lines with contemporary touches are SO perfect for fashion-conscious-without-being-trend-obsessed STG brides. The word that comes to mind is ‘timeless’ – the type of gorgeous gowns you’ll look back on in 20 years and still be blown away by how incredible you looked.

The latest collection promises the aforementioned timeless designs with ultra-feminine twists, elevated textures and highly luxurious accents – and it certainly delivers. All of the gowns have a secret, hidden structure, which is a subtle, but crucial, ingredient when it comes to those astounding bridal silhouettes.

One of the elements we love most about Caroline’s designs is her absolute master of corsetry. Each panel is hand cut to mould and sculpt the figure, they are a true work of art.

A range of silhouettes from A-line, to circle skirts and fishtails

We talked to Caroline about her latest collection of designer wedding gowns. “The inspiration for ‘Celebrating Romance’ was ultra feminine gowns — very fluid, I just wanted to create gowns that feel light and airy but create shape and power — the collection needed to be sensual and playful yet only suggestive”

“There is a range of silhouettes from A-line, to circle skirts and fishtails, all creating beautiful movement and a powerful but understated vision.”

We couldn’t agree more — and we’re sure you will too when you meet the divine dresses from the new collection. Look out for more of our illuminating chat with Caroline below!

The Celebrating Romance collection is available through selected stockists worldwide.

Tali & Mo’s Jewish wedding | Art Deco afternoon tea at The Savoy and an evening soirée in Soho, London

by

afternoon-tea-wedding
Today’s wedding looks like such a fun filled affair – it’s a twist on the traditional hotel wedding: yes, Tali and Mo chose to have the first part of their wedding at The Savoy, but *no*, there wasn’t a sit-down 3 course dinner, or show band in sight.

Instead (partly due to Tali’s pastry chef background) they went for a splendid afternoon tea theme with everything from flowers arranged on cake stands (genius!) to beautiful home made jam favours, to a splendid art deco theme, sprinkled with some lovely DIY details.

Then, to top it off, for the second part of their wedding, they held an  evening soiree at  Kettner’s  in nearby Soho, complete with props and a rocking dance floor, and celebrated their big day with a larger circle of friends.

So let’s partake in some champagne and a macaron or two and be serenaded to The Savoy followed by a night in Soho. What more could you ask for?  Perhaps for the imagery to be by our very own  Wedding Smasher,  Blake Ezra? Oh yes, I’ve got that for you too… we’re in for a treat!
Afternoon Tea Jewish Wedding 98
TWO LONDON VENUES
Tali, the Bride: Our choice of venue came down to a few requirements. First of all we wanted to get married in London. It’s where we met, and we are both great lovers of this beautiful city. We wanted to serve afternoon tea at our reception, and as I am a pastry chef it had to be good so we went with the only London hotel that offered in-house milchik kosher catering — The Savoy. Oh what a hardship! Luckily for us around half of the hotel is Art Deco and as we are massive fans of the Art Deco period it was a no-brainer.

We chose to split the day between two venues, we had the chuppah and afternoon tea at The Savoy, and we then moved on to an evening soiree at Kettner’s in nearby Soho. This allowed us to share our big day with a larger circle of friends.
