Thursday 18th September saw the 20th year anniversary of multi-award winning Royal wedding gown designer Sassi Holford’s Taunton boutique. A variety of companies attended the event from wedding planners to local hair and makeup artists, such as Buff Spa and Rachel Louise Hair.
The boutique displayed photos from 1994 to 2014 to add to the celebratory feel of the evening. Both old and new photos were displayed around the boutique so that people attending the event could see the amazing progress that this local boutique has made. Employees from The Castle Hotel also attended the event, along with Sassi’s huge network of prestigious industry names.
Sassi commented: “I’ve loved being in Taunton. The sense of community, the support and the fact that it is my home makes it a very special place for me and I am proud to be associated with it.”
The story
Sassi Holford is a renowned wedding gown designer with boutiques in Chelsea and Taunton. Sassi has dressed many society brides some of whom travel across the world to see Sassi and ensure their dreams of the perfect wedding gown are met, including Autumn Kelly, who married Princess Anne's son Peter Phillips at Windsor Castle.
Completely self-taught, Sassi has been designing wedding dresses since 1981. Exquisite lines and sumptuous fabrics echo the bride's own style and nothing is spared in the structure and the detail to provide the renowned Sassi Holford cut and fit. Key to this is the integral corset in every gown that results in a streamlined silhouette and - just as important - the high level of comfort necessary for the wedding day. All Sassi Holford gowns are handmade in her Taunton studio by her first class team of talented cutters, seamstresses and hand beaders.
