“Elegant, fresh – loved the colours and the fabrics. A very light and wearable collection” Wearable Trends

“Stunning, gorgeous, beautiful collection. So many must have pieces! Loved it!” QVDesigns

“Loved the soft washed out tye-dyes in little rompers and gorgeously draped minis. The collection seems geared towards a slightly younger and edgier girl than Amanda normally designs for, sheer embellished black leggings, for instance, teamed with an asymmetrical white silk boyfriend blazer, personally I loved it!” Kristin Knox, The Clothes Whisperer

“She’s very good at doing day to night. There was lots of jersey draping in desert colours and shiny gold jewellery,” Vogue fashion director Kate Phelan

“We are drooling at the tribal inspired drapes and metallic finishes at Amanda Wakeley SS11″ Woman&Home Magazine

“A stunning collection from Amanda Wakeley love the beading, gold panelling, and all sorts of detailing, so wearable, so luxe. AMAZE.” LiveFromFashionWeek

“The dresses that every girl will want” Emily Carter, Collective Review

“Amanda Wakeley gave one of her best presentations to date” Fashion Foie Gras

Amanda and her team have been casting the models and carrying out fittings. Each girl will catwalk two to three looks from the Spring / Summer ’11 collection.

This season, the look is desert dweller…loosely inspired by tribal ceremonial dress; pieces sculpt the body with skeletal seam and cast beading detailing.

Expect to see cooler shades for Spring / Summer ’11…oatmeal, white, nickel, ink and cobalt, off set by warm neutrals…caramel, sand, mocha and cocoa with injections of coral and magenta.

After the castings, hair and make-up trials take place – the final look is yet to be decided….

Check the blog later this week to see the official catwalk and backstage photography, read reviews from the press, and reactions from our favourite bloggers…

The Wedding Planner by Amanda Wakeley offers the discerning bride a comprehensive and beautifully designed online destination (as a bespoke, sign-in style website) and on the move (an iPhone App) to help her organise every element of her wedding in one place.  The bride can manage her guest list, plan her bridal calendar and keep track of her budget.  We have also teamed up with Amanda’s favourite bridal brands (Asprey, English Heritage, Gieves & Hawkes, Mason Rose, Myla, Smythson and Urban Caprice) to help plan every element for the big day in style.

The Calendar…

This enables the bride to create appointments to keep track of all her commitments. The share feature enables her chosen family, friends and wedding party to be alerted to key dates in the planning process.

The Budget Calculator…

The Budget Calculator is key to any wedding planning process and gives the bride a central place to store all her quotes, wedding costs and to provide a full overview of where the budget is and what payments have been made. The calculator is set up to allow the bride to add costs to her budget, add reminders to payments due… the list goes on.

GuestList

Brides can manage their entire wedding guestlist from this section of the Wedding Planner.  They can either add in each guest manually, or they can upload a pre existing spreadsheet to populate the Guestlist section.  Guests are managed by groups (Guest/Bridesmaid/Wedding Party etc). If the Bride sets certain visibility levels to each group, ie Bridesmaid, those guests can log into the planner and access certain information about the Brides wedding – dress choices, calendar dates, etc. The bride can also send their guests online invites from the Guestlist section, the guests can then log in themselves to find out specific details about the Bride’s wedding – the location, date, directions, etc.

Amanda Loves…

Amanda Wakeley selects her personal favourites from some of the finest brands in the market, including Gieves & Hawkes (No.1 Savile Row) to offer the finest in Groom and Groomsmen outfits; Myla for the perfect wedding day (and night!) lingerie set; Smythson for those luxury, bespoke invites and wedding albums; Mason Rose for the ultimate luxury, tailor made honeymoons and Asprey for the best choice of beautiful fine jewellery for the bride’s engagement and wedding rings.

The Iphone App

The relating iPhone app will replicate the website exactly and can either be used on its own or as an ‘on the move’ partner to the website.  It will replicate all of the information and documentation the bride has gathered on the website but can handily be accessed ‘on the go’, for example at appointments and fittings.
