Last Thursday Paula’s team (Paula was in the South of France for our latest destination wedding) attended Caroline Castigliano’s event for bride’s-to-be at her Knightsbridge flagship store. We were thrilled to attend alongside industry partners who are all at the top of their profession. We wished to share some snippets of the wonderful evening with you!
Paula designed the entrance of Caroline’s Knightsbridge store for the inspiring evening with stunning columns of gorgeous foliage weaved with the most beautiful white roses, spray roses and hydrangea. As guests entered through Paula’s floral columns the illustrious summer scent of the flowers flowed throughout the store. Paula worked her magic to combine the perfect dose of sight and scent for a hot London evening.
Caroline Catigliano bridal gowns are individual statement garments that are structured to enhance the female figure. Caroline herself is a phenomenal business women who continues to excel in her field. Paula adores working with her many Caroline Castigliano brides as they hold an incredible vision for the extraordinary, and radiate a mixture of classic and contemporary beauty with a flawless elegance that makes them the centre of their special day!
Caroline’s sense of community within the wedding industry is what connects her so well to brides and her fellow collaborators. I have always followed Caroline’s journey and in turn she has been a wonderful advocate of Paula Rooney Floral Design. Creating a vision for a bride is about the entire journey that will create lifetime memories. When engaging with a bride it is vital to surround yourself with a positive, creative and hardworking team and you couldn’t find a better partner than Caroline.

Caroline Castigliano has been at the forefront of luxury British bridal and eveningwear for 27 years. Her gowns create impact from the moment her brides enter the room! Caroline’s ode to effortless glamour, sleek classic lines and contemporary touches give her creations the regal attention they deserve. Designed to be unique in every sense, her stylish bridal gowns exude confidence. Each garment is cut and handcrafted in the United Kingdom with the crème de la crème of fabric. The foundation of the gown, unique corset and technical undergarments – which sculpt the entire gown – remain at the forefront of her design process.
On Thursday evening we had the joy of an exclusive viewing of Caroline’s latest bridal and eveningwear collections, including gowns exclusive to her flagship store. A selected few industry partners were on hand to talk about their brands and creating a flawless experience for brides; Hannah delivered a powerful speech on the ethos and luxury Paula Rooney Floral Design brand.
