Between British simplicity and Lebanese style

And Mrs. Clooney officially nailed it!

The Lebanese born barrister appeared throughout the weekend wedding festivities in stunning outfits, topping them all with a Stella McCartney pant outfit for her civil ceremony, showing out her perfectly slim body and adorned with a hat à l’Anglaise.


And then came the Grand Finale with the release of the wedding gown pictures: Amal nailed a picture perfect!


Amal opted for an Oscar de la Renta gown: a perfect, romantic flowing flying wedding dress.

Designed by one of the worldwide top designers, this custom made French lace dress, embroidered with pearls and diamanté accents and topped with a lace overlay and off-the shoulder sleeves served perfectly the bridal appearance and wow effect.

Amal reflected the perfectly renowned elegance Lebanese ladies are well known for. And, to engrave her Lebanese origins in the wedding and George’s life, she gifted the groom cufflinks to wear on their big day, with his name engraved in Arabic calligraphy.

Mr. & Mrs. Clooney’s wedding topped all of the wedding festivities of the summer season with their festivities, “à la Méditeranéenne”.

I am simply in love: Amal, George, pre-wedding, civil ceremony, wedding gown, cufflinks, everything! Aren’t you all?


And, as we say à la Libanaise: “Alef Mabrouk, ni2cha3elkoun”!

A Venice Affair: George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin

The last week-end of September passed and the most eligible bachelor of the century is no longer eligible! More specifically, he tied the knot with a human rights, Oxford Graduate, lawyer from  Lebanese origin.

Good Monday morning and Congratulations to the Lebanese Amal Alamuddin for stealing the heart and last name of the one and only George Clooney.

While, as all of the press and fans, we wait to see a glimpse of the most awaited wedding dress and wedding of the Century (crossing fingers that the pictures will be released soon!). 

But before that, let’s take a look of what was Mrs. Clooney wearing on her bachelorette and on the day of her arrival to Venice where the wedding festive took place.

For her arrival to the most romantic city of the world, Amal Alamuddin Clooney chose a stripped Dolce and Gabbana dress, sexy enough to kick-off the wedding festive taking place in Venice .



The bride’s moment is divided in two: the rehersal dinner and the wedding! And while we still wait to see Amal’s wedding gown, the lady looked stunning at her rehearsal dinner  in a red Alexander McQueen, looking like a waterfall!





And while (sadly) the bride did not show off her wedding gown yet, she sure didn’t disappoint fans and friends in her post-wedding appearance.  What a carefully chosen, stunning Giambattista Valli Couture mini dress for the morning after!



Speculations are running through to know who was the designer of the wedding gown: was it Dolce and Gabbana, Alexander McQueen, Giambattista Valli or might the honor have been to another designer?


While we wait in anticipation, we wonder how royal the gown will be, afterall Amal is from Lebanese origins and Lebanese are well known for their sense of style! Oh wait… might it be that she chose a Lebanese designer for the gown?

Angelina Jolie’s dress: A Family Affair

Brad and Angelina got married two weeks ago, on August 23, 2014, in their vineyard Château Miraval in Correns - France.

Oh yes, they finally did it!

Chateau Miraval - Correns

Speculations and gossip about who was Angelina’s wedding dress designer were running for almost 2 weeks now!

Et Voilà! The secret is revealed and Luigi Massi, the master tailor of Atelier Versace, tailor-made the dress.

A plain white floor-length gown made of ivory satin silk.


But that’s not all! The most interesting part of the entire outfit is the veil.

In fact, Angelina’s veil was adorned with dozens of her children’s drawings sewed meticulously to make every detail count! Now how sweet is that? Your kids leaving their personal touch on the dress marking the most important day of your life?



The couple has previously stated that their 6 children will be helping in the planning process of the wedding, almost to become the wedding planners. And we were waiting to see how the kids will put their personal touch during the ceremony itself.

And the dress was the big reveal!


Congratulations Brad and Angelina. You did, and you did it well!
