Good morning, SouthBound belles! I have some exciting news to share with you this morning. Those of you in Gauteng may be familiar with Olivelli, a dress boutique that carries some absolutely stunning, exclusive designs, and offers a unique, personal fitting experience. Well, good news for those of you in the Cape: Olivelli will be opening a branch at Tyger Valley next month!

Natasha Colson, the powerhouse behind Olivelli Cape Town, knows exactly what it feels like to be a bride on the hunt for the perfect dress. In fact, it was her search for a beautiful, world-class wedding dress that took her to the store in Randburg, where she thought: Cape Town needs an Olivelli! In working with Natasha as one of our sponsors, I’ve been really impressed by the beautiful dresses on offer and the ranges they carry, including the Rosa Clara Group of Barcelona and the Essence of Australia Group.

Olivelli Cape Town opens on 1 September 2012 at the Willowbridge Lifestyle Centre. To celebrate, Natasha is running a fabulous competition where you can win an exclusive fitting to help you say yes to the dress! The details are below – all you have to do is like Olivelli Cape Town on Facebook. Good luck, ladies!
