Exclusive: La Mariée... A New Bridal Boutique in Kuwait

Love and marriage, love and marriage, go together like a horse and carriage. This I tell ya, brotha, you can't have one without the other. And you can't have a marriage without a white wedding gown, well you can, but that wouldn't be as dreamy, plus it would ruin my intro.

We all realize that buying a wedding gown is one of the most important decisions of your life. With that in mind, I'm delighted to exclusively share with you the opening of a new bridal boutique in Kuwait: La Mariée, part of Al Ostoura Group. The boutique has this friendly, and relaxed atmosphere that every bride-to-be hopes for when shopping for her special gown. The walls of the brightly lit boutique  were decorated with photos of celebrities in wedding gowns like Grace Kelly, Kate Middleton, Princess Diana, Elizabeth Taylor... etc. 

As I entered the lavish boutique, I instantly got that sense of privacy, which is important since choosing your wedding gown should be a fairly private experience away from nosey fellow shoppers, registering what you are trying on and potentially spreading all the details around K-town. I met Madam Laila, the bridal boutique's consultant with over 20 years of experience, who walked me through the boutique and its selection.

The bridal boutique reflects a home-like atmosphere. Adorned with an inspirational décor that translates the feel of a cozy luxurious French apartment, the boutique has elegant wood floors and a small twist of vintage paintings of the early 1900’s thrown in, to contribute to the relaxed and sophisticated ambiance full of intimacy and seclusion. 

La Mariée operate by appointment on a day to day basis. And it offers you a beautiful selection of Wedding gowns from some of the best designers around the world like Alberta Ferretti, Alexander McQueen, Amsale,Jenny Packham, Lanvin, and Reem Acra. Of course I couldn't take photos of the gowns as this would ruin the element of surprise for the brides. I did manage to take a close-up shots of some of the details on the gowns plus other bridal accessories like shoes by Casadei, Cesare Casadei, Le Silla, and Monica Ciabattini.

La Mariée is located at Al Thurraya Mall in Salmiya. For appointments, please call (+965) 2575-7481. Opening hours are Saturdays to Thursdays from 10am to 1:30 pm and from 5pm to 10pm.

Saks In Bahrain

I went to Saks Fifth Avenue store in Bahrain. The two-level store is located in City Centre Mall and has a collection of American and international clothes designers for Men and Women as well as jewelry, accessories, handbags, fragrances, cosmetics, intimate apparel, bridal, and children's apparel. However, I was slightly disappointed by the small selection, maybe because all items were on sale? Or the number and variety of brands were limited? Anyhow, my favourite section at Saks - Bahrain was Saks's world-famous 10022-SHOE salon (shown in the photo below). It had the same look & feel of the NY's shoe salon but of course not the same space. The Shoe Salon had really nice selection and they were all on sale! I have been told by Saks Sales Assistant that they will be hosting numerous special events throughout the year such as fashion shows and personal appearances by designers. Now that's something I'd be interested in! In addition, they currently offer in-st
