The Face of Trinidad Weddings Magazine 2015




We’ve always featured real brides on the cover of our magazine, the TW Wed-Zine

It’s our philosophy here at www.trinidadweddings.com,plus, we think there’s no better inspiration for our readers than a local bride smiling prettily back at them!

Our next cover could feature you! 

This is why we've launched the #FaceofTW promotion.

Every day since our promotion started last week, we have been flooded with entries but here are just some of the beauties who've entered:

A return to the 1950's - Trinidad Weddings at Stechers Shoppers' Night


Don't blame us - we're in the business of weddings, so there's nothing we love more than themed events (occupational hazard!); and even better...one that includes a starlet from the Old Hollywood era.

So, you know we were excited when our friends at Stechers ( there they are below, looking all glammed up!):

Sent us this: 


Here are some snaps from the event:

Simone, Editor of Trinidad Weddings, takes a shopping break, in front of the Stechers Haven Spa, Long Circular Mall

One of my favourite perfume bottles on display - a work of art: Valentina by Valentino and ...who knew Pitbull had a fragrance for women too?
Trinidad Weddings' client Angostura, serves up some 1919!
Jewelry from John Medeiros, crafted in Rhode Island
Candles - loved the Wild Orchid and Sandalwood scent (middle)
Handmade, gold Peerless Cross pen, limited to a production of only 125 in the world!

More Marilyn! A quote of hers that I love?
"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring."


This amazing porcelain sculpture below, by LladrĂ³ was on display at the event.
 



Guests were also treated to mehendi by our friend Nicole Joesph of Stained Mehendi and samples of organic tea.

Here's a snippet of the entertainment at the end:

Trinidad Weddings' inside scoop on CLD's Anniversary Party



When Trinidad and Tobago-based Fashion Designer, Charu Lochan Dass asked www.trinidadweddings.com to partner with her for her first anniversary party, and bring over some of our TW Wed-Zine magazines,  there was just no way we could refuse. 

We are die-hard supporters of local fashion and we have been especially impressed with her label - CLD, ever since she launched last year.

Shortly after her first collection showed in Trinidad, in November 2013, Charu was jetting off to show an Autumn/Winter collection at New York Fashion Week, followed by yet another collection in September 2014, in NY as well. 

Remarkable for one year's achievement, don't you think? Not many designers can say they've made those kinds of strides during their first year. 



No wonder then, that the fashion crowd counted down the days to CLD's anniversary party that was about to happen on November 27, 2014 at her Gallus Street Boutique. 

At around 7:30pm, all you could hear was the crowd murmuring and the photographers with their frenzied clicks, as models started their descent down the stairs.

The Holiday Glam collection was just about everything you would wear for the Christmas season - from brocade skirts, shift dresses, deep V-cut ballerina blouses, black sequined dresses and even metallic shorts. 


Sweet and sophisticated, with a little hint of naughty. But - don't tell Santa! 

Don't believe me? See for yourself...

P.S. Check out the stunning red, glittered lips on the models done by Sacha Cosmetics. I got the inside scoop and yes...they used real glitter specially applied!

The rest of the event didn't disappoint. No event with vodka and cupcakes ever could!


Speaking of cupcakes, my friend Amreeka from The Cake Boutique was there with her divine vanilla cupcakes with champagne buttercream and chocolate cupcakes with rum buttercream! (*photos by The Cake Boutique)


 We're looking forward to seeing what else CLD has planned for 2015!

‘Discover’ delights!



On October 4, 2014, the event “Discover” – hosted by Massy Distribution returned with a bang.

Following on its first year in 2013, it was easy for me to see that the event had grown in scale from last year to now. A fashionable crowd of T&T’s tastemakers, wine and liquor connoisseurs and trend-setters flocked to the Radisson Hotel Trinidad, in Port of Spain, to sip and sample Massy’s entire Wine and Spirits Portfolio, from around the world.

On show, were familiar brands such as: Absolut Vodka, Chivas Regal Scotch, Royal
Salute Whiskey, Jose Cuervo Tequila, Malibu Rum,Beefeater Gin, Perrier-Jouët &
Mumm Champagne, Vina Maipo Wines, Louis Jadot, George Du Beouf,
Kendall Jackson, Jacobs Creek and Wyndham Estates.

However, there were some new offerings as well, that I thought I’d try - such as the selection
of Massy’s wines imported from Italy.

L-R: Fabio visited from Italy, to showcase Massy's Italian wine selection, Simone Sant-Ghuran - Editor of www.trinidadweddings.com and Nick Rajcoomar from Massy Distribution

Another one I sampled was a sweet, fruity, red French wine by Pierre Marcel, Mellow Reserve, which I thought would be ideal for couples having an outdoor wedding.

As a complement to over 100 of Massy’s renowned brands, there were other attractions like: 

  • International cheese stations
  • Delectable hors d’oeuvres and desserts
  • A Bubbly Bar (my personal favourite with a selection of Perrier-JouĂ«t, Mumm Champagne and Cascine 7 Prosecco)
  • An authentic Indian food buffet showcasing the Patak range of products,offered by Massy
  • A scotch lounge, and;
  • A Sober Zone for those who needed it. 

Although the cocktail event started at 5pm, by 8pm and straight until 11pm, the atmosphere was electric, with music and entertainment by DJ Nuphoric whose energy ensured that the crowd was pumped!

Is Discover a must-attend event for 2015? 

I'd sure say so!
