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:

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?

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 Lladró 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.

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!
