Angelina Colarusso, Couture and Bridal Design: About

Dresses by Italian designer Angelina Colarusso have attracted women the world over since 1990 thanks to her innate sense of style, her passion for design and her unconventional approach to couture and bridal design.

Inspired by all things evocative of glamour ... the golden age of couture ... her love of the drama and richness of the arts ... the opulence of the old masters, theatre and dance ... the timeless elegance of the world's most unforgettable women ... Angelina's dresses capture the very spirit of vintage silver screen, where everything was about romance, and people and places were dripping with glamour.

Instantly recognisable for their distinctive mix of relaxed sophistication and high drama, her dresses are wearable art; sensuously sculpted in exquisite silks and imbued with sublime use of colour, from the softest whispers to bold spirited accents.

Viewings of Angelina's collection are available by appointment in either her Richmond or Thames Ditton boutiques and although they both have an air of elegance and exclusivity, consultations are fun and relaxed. Each bride is encouraged to express her own personal sense of style, whether choosing from the collection or going for something totally personalised.

Brides are invited to talk through their hopes and plans for the mood of the wedding before looking at styles and fabrics. They are then given honest insight and feedback as they are led, step by step, through the design process. All the dresses are then made in house, by the highly skilled, production team, making it possible for adjustments to be made along the way if necessary, and ensuring perfection in fitting.

Angelina's creative vision, attention to detail and her uncanny ability to understand and transform by drawing out the personality of each bride, means that they can expect anything but the ordinary from either their dress or the experience!
