Darlings, I have some exciting news for those of you who share my absolute passion and adoration for British couture bridal designer, Hermione de Paula.
Hermione is hosting her first ever London trunk show this month – an amazing opportunity for you to view and try on the breathtaking designs from her brand new 2023 collection, Lunar Garden, which was launched at New York bridal fashion market, last month.
A 10% saving on any new collection gown ordered, and further savings of up to 80% on sample gowns and archive designs, will also be available at this event.
About Hermione de Paula
For those of you unfamiliar with the name, Hermione de Paula is a couture wedding dress designer who also provides a made to order collection and creates the most beautiful personalised embroidered wedding veils and now new to the collection, lingerie and accessories too.
A Hermione de Paula design is unmistakably so; Hermione has created a truly unique and sought after aesthetic. She brings her passion for botanical gardens, spirituality, nature and the cosmos into each of her sublime creations, most notably in the form of exquisite beaded and embroidered floral and butterfly detail.
Book Your Appointment at the Hermione de Paula Trunk Show
The trunk show will run from 17th until 30th November, at Hermione’s home, which is also her atelier, at 1 Kenwood Farm Cottage, Hampstead Lane, London NW3 7JN.
Attendance at the Hermione de Paula trunk show is by appointment only. To book your appointment, please email [email protected], or use the booking page on the beautiful new Hermione de Paula website.
Hermione will be attending many of the days in person and if you wanted to meet her, I recommend booking an appointment (details at end of this article) for the evening of Thursday 17th, or throughout the weekend of Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th.
Hermione will be offering 10% off her new 2023 collection, Lunar Garden, and showing an exclusive edit of limited edition and special one off archive bridal and ready-to-wear pieces at between 25-80% off, including gowns, party dresses, veils, accessories, robes and gifts, for sale.
Every bride who purchases during the trunk show, will also be offered the gift of personalised embroidered initials on their gown, if desired.
The Lunar Garden Collection
Hermione de Paula’s 2023 Couture Collection is inspired by the concept of the moon, sea and stars as a harmonious natural governance.
Approaching the 10th anniversary of the brand, ‘Lunar Garden’ is a celebration of technical mastery and spiritual gratitude.
This is a collection rich in beautiful symbolism, that takes us from the constellations in the sky, through the zodiacs and the celestial river of the cosmos, diving through verdant plant life and into the depths of the oceanic world.
Gowns feature the most beautiful new embroideries and delicate beading.
Embroidered & Beaded Symbolism
These exquisite gowns are adorned with a sky full of shooting stars representing infinite love. Pearl and crystal tassels swing from zodiac embroidery.
Structured bustiers and slim gowns are juxtaposed against the drama of voluminous, heavy silk organza.
Overskirts and removable sleeves continue to provide brides with the incredible versatility for which Hermione has always been known.
Flora & Fauna
Signature flora and fauna abide: the finest fern lace is over-embroidered, ancient healing plants thrive amongst this season’s ‘Forest Mother of Pearl’ print.
Encrusted leaves are dipped in pearls, delicate tulle 3D butterflies signifying rebirth dance in ‘Butterfly Reef’ perching on coral and shells, resplendent in hot fix crystals.
A cacophony of texture and colour, ombre’d Shell Pink and Chameleon Green adds depth to a palette of soft golds and ivory, whilst monstera leaves glistening in delicate beads light as dew, are woven through the Collection.
Representing honour, respect and longevity – these leaves, alongside the moon, centre the Collection in a loving promise symbolic of their wearer’s commitment.
Hermione de Paula Accessories & Lingerie
For the first time, the brand launches Accessories. Complementary to the prints and embroideries of the Collection, the range comprises bags, headbands, necklaces, broaches, gloves, hair pins and garters.
Raising the seduction stakes, Hermione de Paula introduces lingerie. Provocative and playful, these pieces are a celebration of female sensuality.
Beautiful, embellished, barely-there bralets, panties, thongs and nipple covers adorned with pearls and butterflies: this is bridal lingerie done the Hermione de Paula way.
Lingerie and Accessories is now available on a made-to-order basis.
