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.

Magical Mode

As anyone who regularly reads Confashions may know, there are some designers I’ve been obsessed with for quite some time: one is the genius Erdem , the other is Nicholas Kirkwood , and Pierre Hardy . And because their designs are somehow easily accessible online and offline, I had the pleasure of featuring some of their creations and showing them the love they deserve. That said, there is one designer I’ve been particularly smitten with for quite some time. He has always been on the top of my favorite designers list ever since I was introduced to his designs by my fabulous fellow fashionisto Adnan Z Manjal   a couple of years back : Saudi designer Mohammed Ashi . I always wished I featured him more. I couldn’t because his pieces are very exclusive and as far as I know not stocked anywhere here. This clearly isn't just another post on my obvious love for Mohammed Ashi’s designs or the quality of his clothes as I have done that previously. Ashi simply deserves his very own epic p...

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit.  After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the  Altuzarra   sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away.  Which pair would you go for?

My Birkin... My Pride & Joy

Birkin ... Birkin .. Birkin ... you mesmerize me.. I'm so addicted to yoooooou . sitting galmorously in my closet is my hard earned blue Hermes Birkin Bag. To own it is like the ultimate fashionista dream. I look at it lovingly and think to myself " daaaamn ! you are one hell of a lucky girl! I shall protect you from the evil eye 'till the day I die ". My friend asked me once why am I so obsessed with my Birkin . I can list 100 reasons why. But just to be short & sweet, it's exclusive, expensive ( I saw a Birkin in vogue with diamonds on it's hardware. How much do you think it costs? ), it's hand crafted , it takes 2 whole weeks of dedication to produce one, and it's THE bag everyone in the fashion world admires. During a recent visit to The Comfort Shoe at Mariam Complex , I came across a Birkin look alike ( shown in the pictures above ). I have to admit, from afar the bag actually looked good. So I went in to check it out. And THANK GO...
