C a s a b l a n c a B r i d a l’ s H o l i d ay S p i r i t ! At this year was our 20th anniversary for Casablanca Bridal, the corporate team behind our romantic gown designs spared no expense in celebration and festivities. Christmas season was greeted with a week-long spirit week, including ornament decorating socials, a secret Santa gift exchange, and the coveted corporate classic – Casual Friday! (Who doesn’t love wearing jeans?) The Casablanca Bridal corporate team also gave back to the community by participating in the seasonal Toys for Tots drive. To finish the year, we gave Gatsby a run for his money by putting on the ritz to celebrate Christmas with a 1920’s themed party aboard The Queen Mary in Long Beach.
