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.

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. Colourwise, we’re green with envy about all things emerald! Head to page 6 for some of our Oz-inspired emerald-hued faves.

Speaking of collaborations - we’d love to work with you, dear readers, on the next Trend Report! If you are inspired by an image or see a trend we should feature, let us know by tagging it with the hashtag #WedLuxeTrending on Instagram and Facebook!

The wonderful world of weddings is growing increasingly smaller, thanks to brides going global — modern women are planning far-flung destination weddings, sourcing their gowns from international designers or finding decor inspiration abroad, and we couldn’t be more thrilled about this global turn. Gracing our cover is a beautiful shot from Abu Dhabi-based designer Hamda Al Fahim’s latest Fall/Winter 2015 collection, and the international spotlights don’t stop there. You’ll find the latest collections from designers in Israel (see Lior Charchy on page 116 and Lihi Hod on page 48), London, England (see British luxury nightwear designer Olivia von Halle’s bridal collection on page 84), and even Indonesia (see Hian Tjen’s stunning couture on page 34). We’re also super excited about our new column wedluxe bride spotlight where we’ll be introducing you to real-life brides who are the epitome of WedLuxe style. Whether they’re entrepreneurs, fashionistas, socialites, trendsetters or jetsetters, we’re incredibly inspired by real women from around the globe and will be sharing their stories with you each month. First up is L.A.-based Social Media Editor, Raleigh Burgan. We showcase her fab wedding style on page 24. Speaking of global reach, designer Ines Di Santo has called Italy, Buenos Aires and, ultimately, Toronto her home. You won’t want to miss our exclusive chat about everything from her new line of evening wear to what’s inspiring her upcoming Fall 2016 Bridal collection on page 64.
PG 24
As always, we want to hear what is inspiring you this month, so don’t forget to use the hashtag #WedLuxeTrending to get on our radar. See you in the Fall, PG 6 4

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.

Tell us a little bit about yourself - Where do you live? What do you do for a living? What are some of your hobbies and interests?
For starters, my (new) name is Raleigh Burgan. I studied Fashion Merchandising at California State University, Long Beach for four years then moved home to Toronto after graduation for about a year. I am now back in L.A., where I’m a Social Media Editor at Clique Inc. (Who What Wear, Byrdie, MyDomaine). My interests are anything fashion and beauty-related — I also LOVE to dance, whether it be for exercise or just a night out with my girlfriends. I can dance just about anywhere. I’m also obsessed with my family and my friends — they’re a big part of who I am. How would you describe your personal style?
My personal style is kind of all over the place. I wouldn’t nail it down with a specific term, it definitely is situational, but I always tend to be on the edgier side. How did you meet your fiancé?
Corey and I met while working at a summer camp for kids with special needs, Camp Kennebec. It’s the most magical place on earth. He was the camp chef and I was a counsellor.
Where did you shop for the pieces you wore to your wedding and the events leading up to it?
The search process was crazy. We went to New York, twice, and searched high and low! I ended up finding my dress at White in Toronto, and it was love-at-first-tryon. My mom [Ed Note: Raleigh’s mother is famed Interior Designer Kimberley Seldon!] was out of town for the first fitting, so it was myself and my best friend (and maid of honour!) Aidan, alone in a bridal shop. Once my mom was back in town, I made sure to drag her there and try it on for her, too. I initially was looking for a grand, ball gown-looking dress, but my dress ended up being nothing like I imagined it would. Tell us about your hair and makeup for your wedding.
Julia Stone is an old friend of mine — she’s a VERY talented model and makeup artist and she was responsible for everyone’s makeup the day of. My hair was done by Steve Roy at Solo Bace, in Toronto. He’s my mom’s go-to, so that was another easy decision!

W E D LUX E B R I D E S POT L I G H T
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.
28
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.
ENGAGEMENT PARTY:
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.
BRIDAL SHOWER:
I wore a T by Alexander Wang sporty white dress and simple Steve Madden strappy black heels. REHEARSAL DINNER:
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!
WEDDING DAY:
I wore a Stone Cold Fox tuxedo dress as my dancing dress - it was a total favourite. RECEPTION DRESS:

What are your favourite websites?

Your mother is a well-known interior designer did the interior design world play a large part in inspiring your wedding festivities?
My mom, honestly, did all of the planning, so yes a thousand times. I okayed certain things, but I was in the transition of moving to L.A. and working day and night. She did everything and it was UNREAL. What is an indulgence you would never forgo?
Massages and eyelash extensions (guilty!) What is last thing you bought and loved?

INES DI SANTO exclusive interview
INES DI SANTO
WedLuxe speaks exclusively with Ines Di Santo, one of the world’s top bridal designers. Raised in Buenos Aires, Ines went on to study in Argentina and Milan before ultimately moving to Toronto, where her headquarters and atelier are today. While Ines Di Santo has always been known primarily as a world class bridal designer, this year she launched her first evening wear collection due to the demand from her private clientele. We spoke exclusively with the acclaimed designer, who shared some of her sketches from her upcoming evening wear collection, and hinted at what we can expect from her next bridal fashion show! w w w.wedluxe.com

D ES I G N E R P RO F I L E
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.

What book is currently on your nightstand?
From Bauhaus to Buenos Aires: Grete Stern and Horacio Coppola. My father loved the arts and shared that love with me ... I had a lovely childhood in Buenos Aires and this book of images, portraits and more reminds me so well. There is a photograph in it called Fragment of a Bride that is a simple, discarded piece of tulle. It makes me imagine a love story. There is also a dream series of photographs that will keep you imagining for days ... Can you give us a hint about what we can expect from your next bridal collection, showing at Bridal Week this coming October?
Only the smallest of hints: the collection speaks to all of the qualities of light.
