FOUNDER
Cara Wagstaff
Cocoa Couture is a bespoke bridal couture studio based in one of the grandest Georgian buildings in Cheltenham. Led by Cara, a fully trained fashion designer, the studio has been creating individual wedding gowns for decades - dressing everyone from local brides to high-profile clients.
Every dress is designed, patterned and created around the bride, with care, experience and attention to detail at every stage.
