Lady Mary finally Marries!


All Downton Abbey fans have been enthralled in the will they won't they storyline between Lady Mary and Matthew and last night saw the pair finally walk down the aisle!! The joyful and uplifting union of the couple has been much anticipated, but not as much as Lady Mary's dress... and she did not disappoint! Yes, it's a modest affair but we couldn't fail to notice the striking resemblance to the dress that Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother wore when she married King George in 1923. It's a simple ivory column design with a satin sash drawing in below the waist and sheer, long sleeves. It's finished with a jewelled headband and a cathedral length veil.


 Not only is it hugely representative of wedding dresses of that era, there's certainly a trend among the aristocracy and royals for covering up and preserving ones modesty as you walk down the aisle. Even Kate Middleton opted for sheer, lace sleeves on her Alexander McQueen gown just last year.

Demure dressing with a sense of glamour and femininity from a bygone era is certainly something that is sweeping the bridal catwalks for 2013 and with the release of the film The Great Gatsby - the romantic adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1925 novel in the New Year we are sure that the bridal industry will be further influenced by this classic era.



















Carina Baverstock Couture has a fabulous collection of gowns by designers such as Jessica Charleston, Jenny Packham, Ritva Westenius and Claire Pettibone who's dresses evoke the 1920s, book an appointment today to create your own vintage look!

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.
