EDITOR’S LETTER
W E LCO M E TO T H E AU G U ST W E D LU X E T R E N D R E P O RT !
For the final month of summer (say it isn’t so!), we’re embracing the finer things in life. From statement clutches created by It Girl designers like Olympia Le-Tan and Mary Katrantzou (page 12) to the ultimate feminine indulgence in the form of champagne cocktails topped with a tuft of cotton candy (page 16), we’ve got What’s Trending covered. Colour-
We’re also in love with the edible flower trend, which you can bring into your big day in the form of garden-inspired appetizers or beautiful sweet treats that are almost too pretty to eat (page 8). And whether you’re an old school or thoroughly modern bride, you will love the revival of wax seals for your wedding invites, the perfect way to incorporate your new monogram or family crest. Collaboration is the key to success, and in this issue we’re proving this old adage true by highlighting some of our favourite branded collaborations (page 76) that are inspiring us right now.

RALEIGH
BURGAN Meet Raleigh Burgan (née Seldon), Los Angeles-based social media editor for Clique Inc. (which owns a handful of our favourite blogs, including WhoWhatWear, Byrdie and MyDomaine.) She married her husband, Corey, at her family home in Creemore, Ontario, Canada on July 18th, 2015. As a lover of all things fashion and beauty-related, we can’t think of a better subject for our inaugural WedLuxe Bride Spotlight.

Did you follow tradition and have something old, new, borrowed & blue on your wedding day?
My something old was my engagement ring. It was my grandmother’s ring, which she actually bought for herself! My something blue was my mom’s garter that she wore on her wedding day. The something new were my shiny Valentino Rockstud heels, swoon! In terms of designing the look and feel of your wedding, where did you find your style inspiration?
I actually found all the inspiration I needed through magazine editorials. Interview and W are my favourites at the moment. I went for an edgier look with my studded Valentino heels and boned corset dress. How would you describe the style of your wedding?
My wedding was an absolute fantasy. My mom and I planned everything around one amazing flower wall. It was the ultimate romantic wedding and setting, and felt like a fairytale. The weather was perfect and the sunset KILLED.

We’d love to know about all the outfits and accessories you wore for the day of, and other wedding-related events leading up to and following your wedding. Are there any special stories about any of the items?
I wore a black leather and tulle T-strap gown by Stacey Bendet by Alice and Olivia to my engagement party at Boehmer on Ossington in Toronto. My shoes were Blue suede Lita boots by Jeffrey Campbell.
E N G AG E M E N T PA RT Y:
I wore a simple white flowy Free People dress to my bridal shower with strappy sandals. We went on a duffy boat ride in Newport Beach, so flats were necessary.
B R I DA L S H OW E R :
I wore a T by Alexander Wang sporty white dress and simple Steve Madden strappy black heels. R E H E A R SA L D I N N E R :
My dress was Monique Lhuillier from White Toronto and I also wore a veil from White. I purchased my Valentino Rockstud heels just a week before my wedding day!
W E D D I N G DAY:
I wore a Stone Cold Fox tuxedo dress as my dancing dress - it was a total favourite. R EC E P T I O N D R E SS :

INES DI SANTO
Let’s talk about your evening wear collection. As someone who is known first and foremost as a bridal designer, what inspired you to branch out and create an evening wear line?
I have actually been creating evening wear for private clients for many years, in addition to designing bridal, and over the past two years we have been preparing the company to launch ready-to-wear evening, as we felt it was the right moment. I love to design beautiful, unique pieces but at the same time, it’s important to me that new collections are well thought out, and that we are able to preserve our high level of service for our accounts and our customers. We already have so much interest in the pieces, it’s exciting! What did you have in mind when you were designing this latest collection?
This collection began to take shape during a recent mini vacation in New York. I love art and spent time at both MoMA and The Met to visit some long-time favorites of mine. You can’t help but be inspired by the brush strokes and paint colors of modern and contemporary art.

INES DI SANTO Do you have a favourite gown in particular?
My favorite is always the next one we are creating! I love the design process. What is inspiring you this month?
We are playing with deconstruction in a shoot this month. To celebrate delivering some of our favorite looks from the Spring 2016 Bridal Collection, we’ll be revealing ‘behind the scenes’ imagery of the design progression, but in reverse. I like to be able to share what I love about the process with others; it intrigues and inspires. If you were a colour palette made up of at least two colours, what would they be?
My answer today would be broad strokes of pastels, lightly anchored by a touch of primary colour and black.
To the left and the right are Di Santo’s sketches from her upcoming SS2016 collection.

Famous for his highly-covetable heels, Manolo Blanik has ventured into new territory with a new capsule collection of bejewelled purses, inspired by the ornaments used in his most famous designs. For brides-to-be, we particularly adore the Hangi, a square box clutch based on the Hangisi shoe, perhaps best known as the blue pumps Carrie Bradshaw wore for her own nuptials. manoloblahnik.com
