Brides will always pull out all the stops to look amazing on their wedding day. And the gown is the centre of attraction receiving yays or nays from the guests.
Those in the know say the trick is to buy a dress that accentuates either your waist, hips, bust or wherever your favourite assets are placed on your body.
Bride&Co and Eurosuit launched their 2018 collection on Wednesday evening at Mesh Club in the middle of Keyes Art Mile in Rosebank. On the stairway leading to the club were models already showing us the kind of elegance in store for potential customers.
The aisle had mannequins in the new gowns and suits with little squares in bright pink and white describing each designer and the collection.
The bridal store has roped in bridal wear from two internationally acclaimed designers, Oleg Cassini and Viola Chan. This season’s Cassini collection boasts trendy styles including a signature, dazzling and soft halter bridal gown.
The Oleg Cassini bride embodies a classic, timeless and sophisticated demeanour as she remains perfectly poised. With Viola Chan, words such as fashion-forward and trendy come to mind when speaking of her collection.
While the bride is confident, independent and edgy, Eurosuit will cater to the masculine, dapper, suave and sophisticated groom.
The launch wasn’t exclusively for bridal wear, as evening wear from these three brands was showcased too.
To kick-off festivities TV personality K. Naomi was "hostess with the mostest" for the night. We got to know that she, just like many women, would love to have her happily-ever-after in a white gown. She jokingly said that’s why she wears her pretend ring, which she bought for herself because she dreams about that day. She wore a low, back-cut bedazzled dress showing off her gorgeous figure.
Shashi Naidoo looked equally ravishing in a gold dress by Bride&Co.
Designer and fashion guru Yasmin Furmie looked timeless in a classic monochrome outfit paired with multi-coloured slides. She is always ahead of the pack when it comes to fashion.
However it was the male models James Nzina and Evan van Soest who stole the most stares and giggles as they looked dashing in their suits.
