British Dream

For those who are getting married soon and have everything more or less organized this will not arrive on time, but you can review the pictures of previous editions, which are always suitable as inspiration. Each edition of The Wedding Fashion Night is celebrated with a spectacular staging, under a thematic atmosphere and this year’s benchmark is the early nineteenth century England. Do you like the subject?

The first of the events this year will take place in Alegra Barcelona on September 16 and 17, an elegant space in a privileged setting overlooking the sea where bridal proposals exposure and haute cuisine will merge. Also in the early nineteenth century it was important to entertain guests with tasty meats, it was a time when the family was the backbone of life and when it was increasingly important to enjoy the pleasures of life .

Fairytale weddings

On October 7 and 8 the appointment will move to Bodevil Theater in Madrid, where the British inspiration is based on one of the greatest entertainments for all ages and social classes in the early nineteenth century, a period of great development of arts and sciences.

The third meeting will be held on November 4 and 5 in Villa Luisa in Seville, an enclosure with extensive gardens of over 5,700 square meters, a Crystal Hall and Palace House built at the beginning of the twentieth century. It represents an oasis of relaxation surrounded by Seville and becomes an ideal framework to represent freedom and peaceful life.

As in previous years, the staging will be carried out by Cristina Pérez, director of the event; Daniela Cavestany, designer known for her work in major national decor magazines, and with the collaboration of three schools of window dressing and interior of each city.

Atrezzo

Why they have chosen this topic? Well, the creative process to decide the issue begins looking for trends in the US and Australian market and the study of the best weddings celebrated in Spain, as well as a depth knowledge of the bridal world through sector companies and what couples demand.

This year, the British inspiration translates into a feminine style with floral prints and teatime, in counterpoint to the rooms of exclusive male use, libraries, rooms for smoking and drinking; materials like glass, wood, leather; colors like white, pale pink, marsala, chocolate brown, yellow or pastel green.

The fusion of cycling and fashion has largely been spearheaded by British cycling champion Victoria Pendleton, who has launched her new range of Pendleton bikes, many of which are styled around vintage 1950s looks, focusing on simplicity and style. Without the huge ranges of gears and snazzy bits of tech which adorn men’s sports bikes, the Pendleton range instead focuses on vintage style and chic flair, making cycling a pleasure and your bike a fashion accessory of its own.

Cycling and Fashion

With wide padded seats, stitched leather and classy cream-coloured tyres, many of the bikes follow a distinct style which is visible throughout the range, although each has its own individual essence which makes every model unique from the next. It’s the sheer choice and range which has been popular, too, and it’s not just the bikes themselves which have proved successful amongst the fashion-conscious women of Britain.

The launch of a number of items of fashionable cycle clothing has also helped to boost the popularity of cycling amongst women, mainly through the ingenious move of tying it in with the recent surge in popularity of vintage style, harking back to a time when women cycled everywhere, zipping along the country lanes with their wicker basket on the front. It’s a sign of classic Britishness; a reminder of times when life was much simpler and people were much happier.

It might sound rather old-fashioned, but it’s this sort of vintage style which is huge at the moment, which is precisely why the enormous success of Pendleton bikes and the associated rise in the numbers of women cycling has been so impressive. The health benefits of cycling, the cost-effectiveness of it and its positive environmental impact have been big drivers in the rise of cycling in the UK in general, but now that it’s also fashionable and stylish, it seems as though nothing can stop the stratospheric success of Britain’s recent cycling boom.
