For Cocoe Voci, the dream began when she was just a child. “As a very young child my imagination soared with the fantasy of the gown. At the time I did not know this would come to mean the bridal gown. As of yet, I had no concept of what that meant. I did know the drama, the richness, and could sense what the feeling might be of creating and wearing, or dressing others, in the most special and significant attire.”

Cocoe’s inspiration is derived from many sources—“Renoir for his celebration of femininity and Degas for his ballerinas.  When I look at a Degas’ ballerinas, there is something so beautiful about his colors, so washed out and so relaxed . . . . In recreating a ballerinesque bridal gown, I focus on the concept of flow and spirit and softness.”

"I use the true couture way – each new design is a process."  
"As a very young child, my imagination soared with the fantasy of the gown.”   - Cocoe Voci

There is a particular process Cocoe uses to transform her visions, as if by magic, into her wedding gowns. First, l let ideas float in my mind for months until I have truly put together a vision for my next collection. I absorb, gather, let the ideas float, then I begin to look for the fabrics which will become my canvas.”

The masters who inspire me include designers such as Worth, Lacroix, Dior, and Valentino.”    - Cocoe Voci

Detail is important. That quarter of an inch, that half-inch, makes the difference.”   - Cocoe Voci

Tips
  • # 1 - LOUNGING ANYWHERE
    Wonder what to do to a resort ballroom to make it more interesting and intimate?  You can create individual lounge areas by renting tents of sheer flowing fabric and adding sofas and coffee tables with lots of candlelight in them.  You’ve suddenly created that romantic lounge atmosphere in a standard ballroom and given it more intimacy.  Your guests can move to different “rooms” during the cocktails hour or or they can dance the night away.

  • #26 MARRYING MINDFULLY
    Creating the “perfect wedding” can easily overshadow what is really important about getting married—creating a sacred and lifelong bond with your beloved. Your wedding is not a “to-do” list. Take time to tend to your relationship and to yourselves so that you enter into the celebration relaxed, joyful, and with a full heart.

  • #16 COMFORTABLE RECEPTIONS
    Reception spaces are taking on a comfort theme nowadays. Rather than using cocktail tables alone, couples are creating a lounge effect in their reception areas by adding cozy furniture groupings of sofas and coffee tables, along with tenting and draping, lamps and lanterns, lit up trees and dozens of candles. You may want to hire a jazz quartet or flamenco trio to create a sultry ambiance.  Some couples are even hiring cigar rollers!  You can also use this set-up outdoors for a living room beneath the stars!
