Kotapska presents a new Love Actually collection and releases a symbolic campaign for it

This autumn, the bridal fashion brand Kotapska presents a new collection of Love Actually wedding dresses, consisting of three separate lines, and releases a campaign dedicated to the legendary British film Love Actually. This year, the film celebrates its 20th anniversary and remains one of the most beloved romantic film masterpieces of our time. Similarly, the Ukrainian brand Kotapska has been dressing brides all over the world in exquisite dresses made with love, respect, and attention to every detail for 20 years.  

The campaign, which consists of several video and photo sets, focuses on eternal and all-encompassing love. A feeling arises between such different people, and sometimes they don't even know they are capable of such strong emotions. Love brings chaos to the lives of each of them, but it is impossible not to succumb to it.

The main characters of the campaign were famous British influencers and bloggers: the star of the British television show Love Island, Cady McDermott, and British model Ellie O'Donnell, a participant in the Miss England 2016 contest. The shoot took place on the streets of London, next to the London Eye Ferris wheel and near St Paul's Cathedral. 

The new collection of Love Actually wedding dresses is made in an unusual format for the brand and consists of three lines at once: the sophisticated Classic, the perfect Couture, and Bridal Delicious — a line of exceptional dresses for luxurious women. The main characters of the campaign wore the dresses of the Couture line.

"The dresses of the Couture line combine all the many years of experience of the Kotapska brand, our love, and respect for women from different parts of the world who appreciate our brand, and our desire for perfect forms and content. These dresses attract attention with their sophistication, abundance of handmade work, and the use of precious finishing materials. The perfect look of the bride on the day of her wedding fairy tale is our highest mission and we fulfil it with honour," says Iryna Kotapska.

To create the new collection, along with the classic and familiar fabrics for the brand: soft silky tulle, chiffon, and chantilly lace, Kotapska craftswomen used new fabrics and even more handmade, painstaking work. The debutant of the collection is matte crepe, which is ideal for stylish sets with trousers and goes perfectly with richelieu lace. French sateen helped to create perfect solutions for the elegantly draped bodices of fit & flare dresses and classic A-line skirts.

The pearl of the collection's fabrics is the diamond-shine tulle, which radiates an intense glow. The handmade flowers used by the brand's designers to decorate the dresses are also fascinating.

The constant and recognizable element of Kotapska dresses is crystal embroidery, which adds an exquisite glow even to dresses or outfits with minimalist decoration. The line of accessories is made using Czech beads known for their impeccable quality.

"We pay maximum attention to details. KOTAPSKA dresses are the quintessence of the most important event in every woman's life, so they have to be perfect. I know this feeling. Not only the dress design, silhouette, and shape, but also the context greatly affect this perception. So, just as the bride wants to make her day perfect, we want her dress to be perfect. She should be as confident as possible with us. Our dress is an important part of the event and we are with the bride on this special day! This is a huge responsibility and that's how we perceive it," said Lyudmila Kotapska.

KOTAPSKA Bridal Couture is a legend of new European wedding fashion.
