Cocoe Voci’s Vision PDF Print E-mail

Photography by Elizabeth Messina
Hair, Makeup, Wardrobe styled by Cathryn Van Breene


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

ywd_win05_coco5.jpg ywd_win05_coco6.jpg

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
  • #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!

  • # 6  RECIPES FOR FAVORS
    Gather together the favorite recipes that you remember as a child. They could be special family recipes, holiday menus, etc.  Have them bound in small books, affix a wedding label on the front with your monogram and date that you were married. And there you have it, a unique favor that your guests will use again and again. Also, it is a wonderful way to acknowledge grandmothers and mothers.

  • #21 LA FLEUR TABLE
    Cover your entire table top with a single bold color of petals. Not just a scattering, but the entire top of the table with a thick layer of petals! You can purchase them at a farmers market or order them through your florist. Place your chargers, place settings, glassware and centerpieces in a contrasting color and lots of candles directly onto the petals for a stunning, romantic look!
