Our Sunday with 'Don't Tell the Bride'

Well, we thought nothing short of a miracle would get every single member of our hard working team in on a Sunday morning, but it looks like the promise of (brief!!) TV stardom is all it takes! : )  Yesterday morning we all arrived at the boutique eager to greet brave bride-to-be Rebecca and the Don't Tell the Bride crew.  They all arrived and we enjoyed meeting Helen and Paul the lovely camera/sound people as well as the bride's family and friends, including her aunt, brother, cousin and chief bridesmaid.

The bride herself is Rebecca, a stunning girl with beautiful red hair and a clear sense of style. This beautiful petite girl is a female wrestler, and something of a trailblazer in the industry too by the sounds of it! She was right up our street as we love a strong woman here at CBC!!  Her fiancĂ© Mike is a professional wrestler too, and from what we heard he sounds like a great guy. We found it very touching that Rebecca had every faith that he would get everything right for the big day, even the dress!  Clearly these two are meant to be.

Rebecca tried on a few dresses with us and needless to say it was not long until she found the dream dress.  We can't let you in on which one it was though as we wouldn't want to inadvertently provide the groom with any insider information!  Suffice it to say that she looked amazing and was a little sad to say goodbye to her perfect gown.

The episode airs at the end of October so as soon as the cat is out of the bag we will post our behind the scenes pictures.


Ibizan Summer

Just arrived at Carina Baverstock Couture is the new ‘Ibiza’ gown by Ritva Westenius. This gown is the epitome of elegance; as soon as we laid eyes on it we were all transported to luxurious villa gazing out over the rugged Ibizan coast line where azure seas crash against volcanic rocks and champagne glasses clink as a graceful bride makes her entrance dressed in this stylish modern classic....... simply perfect.



This gown is perfect for the trend of 'demure dressing' which is taking the bridal catwalks by storm for 2013.  Express your style and femininity this season with fabulous cuts and exquisite fabrics, because nothing is more elegant than a bride who is truly dressed for the occasion!

Shhh!...... Don't tell the bride!!

Carina Baverstock Couture is very much looking forward to welcoming Rebecca who is the latest brave bride putting her faith in her man and taking part in the hit TV series 'Don't Tell the Bride'.  Rebecca will be coming to us to try on her dream dress this Sunday, the dress that she would have chosen for herself.  Then all we have to do is cross our fingers and wish very hard that Rebecca's fiancee will be thinking along the same lines.... We are sure he will do her proud.


We are very much looking forward to welcoming the Don't Tell the Bride team and helping this very special bride to have the experience of a lifetime.  We are going to try and sneak a few behind-the-scenes snaps so will be posting updates early next week.....

Suzanne Neville rocks the Olympics!!

The eyes of the world were on the UK this summer as we hosted the Olympics and entertained crowds of billions from around the globe with our memorable opening and closing ceremonies.  One of the most hotly anticipated appearances from the closing ceremony was that of the Spice Girls. Everyone was keen to see what the girls would be wearing and if the most memorable of all of the Spice Girl's outfits would be making an appearance... Geri Halliwell's Union Jack dress! Geri was under a lot of pressure to do it justice but thankfully, she did herself and the UK proud as she put a contemporary spin on the classic and rocked the Union Jack dress 2012 style!!  And who does Geri have to thank for this perfectly updated homage?  Who else..... SUZANNE NEVILLE!  Geri knew that she could count on Suzanne's design inspiration and her figure-perfecting corsetry to make her look fantastic when the world was watching!


And so can you! Suzanne's expertise and experience is boundless and on 27th October 2012 lucky Carina Baverstock Couture brides can benefit from Suzanne's experience FIRST HAND at our Suzanne Neville designer day!  Suzanne herself will be hosting and every bride will have the opportunity to seek advice from her on how to look her best on the big day.  Book early to avoid disappointment.

Flo & Percy dressing the stars (and our brides!)


Another major celebrity wedding this weekend and again we are all looking to see what the beautiful bride was wearing in the hope that we may emulate her stunning look.  Thankfully, here at Carina Baverstock Couture that dream is a reality for all of our brides as yet another bride who is currently gracing the pages of Hello magazine is wearing pieces that are all available here at CBC!!! This time it is Rochelle Wiseman from "The Saturdays" who wore two Flo & Percy headpieces for her recent wedding to Marvin Humes of "JLS".  


She looks so beautiful and Flo & Percy really finished this strong look off perfectly, so much so that they have now created the Rochelle Headband in her honour!
