Amelia Casablanca





 

The Amelia Casablanca atelier has existed for more than fifty years and has gone from a family affair to a true fashion atelier while maintaining their tradition of fine craftsmanship.

 The awe inspiring Amelia Casablanca bridal collections, which are now designed by Amelia’s son Giovanni, are brought to life when seduction and femininity are perfectly blended.  All of his creations are a perfect combination of tradition and innovation infused with a unique Mediterranean style.  The lovely of voluminous skirts are designed with geometric shaping and the extraordinarily sensuous corsets emanate an elegant and modern flair while capturing the old world styles unique to the Baroque and Renaissance periods.  His dresses are the inspiration from poetic art, that of a typical fairytale which reflects the dreams and fantasies of many brides.  The gowns materialize from a world of imagination where dreams are replicated with the use of delicate and intense shades of color.  The idea of the collection is to emulate every bride’s reverie of being a princess, queen or a divine angel. On her wedding day, when she slips on her Amelia Casablanca wedding gown, the allure of all things imaginary transform into reality making the impractical overwhelmingly possible.  When she walks out, this princess bride captivates her audience, with her breathtaking appearance, fascinating all that are around her!

Nothing is left to chance when creating these custom couture wedding gowns.  Even though much of his inspirations are drawn from history, his understanding of patterns and construction allow his gowns to maintain their historical uniqueness while creating a very cosmopolitan, sexy and beautiful image.  With each dress, there is an equilibrium between tradition, romanticism and modernity.  The use of prestigious fabrics such as silk Taffeta, Mikado, Razmire, Soft Organza and French lace; vivid of colors of ivory, green, pink, blue and black, beaded feminine corsets with Bohemia crystals and silver threading as well as oversized skirts, meld the taste of today and yesterday together creating these distinctive designs.  The real protagonist of the collection are the delicate handmade and hand painted orange blossoms, the bridal flower of Europe.  Every bouquet is a small masterpiece of craftsmanship that releases a delicate and intoxicating aroma every time the blossoms are gently touched. 

Giovanni’s sincere and meticulous care to personally inspect each individual gown from inception to the final stage of creation is a celebration of his devotion to each gown. This attention and creativity substantiates the secret to the success of Amelia Casablanca.  Each gown must be unique with quality that is paramount especially since these dresses are distributed all over the world and in the United States by Roma Sposa Bridal and Evening Atelier!
