Fresh from the Red Carpet to the Aisle…
On Sunday 15th November 2009, State of Grace will be hosting its first ever bridal event showcasing its latest collection of irresistibly elegant vintage-inspired wedding gowns, accessories, shoes and styling expertise at the sumptuous, neo-classical member’s club, Home House, 20 Portman Square, London, W1H 6LW.
Lucia Silver, formerly of the cult Notting Hill store The L Boutique, will be on hand with her professional team of leading stylists to advise on every aspect of your bespoke outfit, including all accessories, hair, make-up and customising tips for a truly bespoke approach to you on your special day.
The catwalk show will also include inspired designs for bridesmaids, mothers-of the bride as well as wedding guests.
You can look forward to...
* A Catwalk Show presenting State of Grace’s latest portfolio of garment and accessory designs for brides and the bridal party
* A Live Demonstration of State of Grace’s styling skills where you will see how one dress can be breathtakingly transformed from church, to champagne reception to dinner and dancing with State of Grace’s stunning jewellery, hair-pieces, shrugs, capes and more…
* A Workshop Showcasing State of Grace’s hair and make-up styling where you will see how important these final touches are in creating the look you want for the day
* The Launch Preview of State of Grace’s first bespoke Shoe Collection (over 150 colours and fabrics to choose from as well as different heel heights!)
*A complimentary first Design and Style Consultation with the State of Grace style team at the Notting Hill private studio
In addition, Lucia Silver, State of Grace’s founder and creative director, has carefully selected a number of burgeoning talents from within the bridal industry to join her on this special day. They have been chosen because they offer truly bespoke and inspiringly distinctive services. Forget being offered a package or a modification. These professionals are as passionate as Lucia is about individuality. Guests will have the opportunity to talk to the many Experts about their wedding ideas to date and then book in to see them…
There is also the exclusive opportunity to win a Prize worth over £600 (free raffle entry) for two complimentary nights in the Royal Suite, ‘State of Grace’, at Dar Jaguar, the luxury villa in Marrakesh.
