Chocolate wedding dress

If you’re looking for a different twist on your wedding day, perhaps this story may be for you.
Award winning bridalwear designer Ian Stuart has created a rather unique chocolate wedding dress to celebrate Chocolate week (13/10/08 – 19/10/08) along with chocolatiers Rococo.

Winners of the 2008 Academy of Chocolate’s lifetime achievement award (yes there really is such a thing) Rococo Chocolates have been producing top notch chocolates for over 25 years.
Chantel Cody of Rococo commented “Ian and I have long talked about this crazy idea of making a chocolate wedding dress. Chocolate Week seemed the perfect moment to combine Ian Stuarts’s design talents with Rococo’s creativity in chocolate.”

Ian Stuart is renowned for adding his own distinctive style to all the wedding dresses he creates. The winner of Best Bridal designer 2004-2007 describes his latest tasty creation, “I believe chocolate is synonymous with romance and I have created a wedding dress design in conjunction with the best chocolatiers in London. The collaboration between Rococo and Ian Stuart fits, because you have two different high profile brands, both cutting edge and both willing to try something new!”

The amazing looking wedding dress is made of white chocolate, and described as “cute, burlesque, contemporary, fashionable and 1950′s” – We describe it as “Tasty looking, with potential to melt, leaving a semi naked bride on a hot summer’s day”

However, Ian Stuart & Chantel Coady both agreed the dress should only be worn for a short while.
Technically brilliant, the dress looks fantastic, and being created by two parties at the pinnacle of their games, makes it a fascinating achievment.

“It is so nice to make something that is a challenge, and furthermore, who knows? We may start a new trend!! ….as the credit crunch looms over us, maybe edible wedding dresses are the future!” says Ian.

We certainly agree, picture all the wedding guests choosing to nibble on the bride’s chocolate wedding dress, and the cost saving of not needing to buy a wedding cake makes it all worth it….sort of.
