Kaley Cuoco ties the knot in Reem Acra gown

DUBAI: Hollywood star Kaley Cuoco tied the knot over the weekend and looked stunning in a custom-made Reem Acra wedding dress.
“The Big Bang Theory” actress married professional equestrian Karl Cook at a horse stable near San Diego, California, on June 30 and shared snaps from her laid-back nuptials on Instagram using the adorable hashtag, #kcsquared.
Cuoco, 32, chose a lace gown-and-cape combination by Lebanese designer Reem Acra for her big day and wore her hair in a relaxed chignon with soft waves cascading around her face along with a floral headpiece by New York-based designer Jennifer Behr.
“Wearing custom @reemacra in my dream cape,” she wrote on social media.

The bride then changed into a lace jumpsuit by Japanese designer Tadashi Shoji for the reception and topped it off with a glamorous pony tail.
Co-star — and ex-boyfriend — Johnny Galecki took to social media to share a sweet message with the happy couple.
Galecki, who played the character of Leonard Hofstadter on the comedy since 2007, wrote: “Couldn’t be happier for my fake wife @normancook and @mrtankcook whose words brought us all to tears last night. So much love for you both.”
“Deepest congrats to the newlyweds. Love you both so much, @normancook and @mrtankcook. So moved by tonight,” he added in another post on Instagram.
Galecki was joined by co-stars Mayim Bialik and Wil Wheaton who also partied the night away at the couple’s animal-themed reception.
“Congratulations to Kaley Cuoco! Wearing @ReemAcraWedding on her big day,” the Lebanese design house wrote on Instagram, alongside a close-up shot of Cuoco in the dreamy dress.
The ceremony followed a pink-themed hen party earlier in the week. Cuoco shared photos on Instagram showing a room decorated with pink balloons and tassels, along with a tiered stand of delicious-looking iced cupcakes.
Cuoco and Cook, 27, got engaged in November with the actress telling People Magazine that her future husband is her “perfect match.”
She revealed that one of the couple’s philanthropic pastimes is rescuing animals.
“He lets me wake up in the morning and say, ‘I want to go and rescue rabbits.’ And he’s like, ‘Alright, let’s get a coffee and let’s go.’ And that is him. We are the same, our views are the same, our morals are the same, he is my perfect match,” she told the magazine.
Cuoco was previously married to tennis player Ryan Sweeting, however, the couple split in September 2015 after 21 months of marriage.

Review: ‘ASL Line,’ abayas from the comfort of your own home

There’s no question about the abundance of abaya boutique and shopping options in Saudi Arabia — but sometimes an influx of choices can leave one feeling overwhelmed.

As the winter edges closer in the desertscape, we’re looking for comfortable, yet fashionable, winter abaya for the season. 

ASL Line is one place that has caught our eye, not only for their distinctive pieces, but their quality as well. From the diversity of their colors to the uniqueness of their patterns, it’s a great place to shop from the comfort of your home for abaya that will last in your closet for quite a while. 

Their winter collection features a 34-piece drop. From velvet and chiffon abayas to floral trims and ASL exclusive prints, the assortment has something for any occasion.

For a night out, they have several pieces that are designed with black stretch taffeta and patterned velvet, adorned with tassels, embroidery and embellishments in a flare cut. 

One truly dazzling piece is a maroon abaya constructed with Korean velvet fabric with stretch taffeta in a flared silhouette that would be perfect with black heels and bag for an elegant look. They also have a number of velvet looks for winter that are great options for casual and office wear. 

Within the past year, the shop launched their ASL Couture line, inspired by 1800s Parisian fashion with a Saudi twist. From high-end pieces to ready-to-wear ensembles, their breathtaking designs adorn classy floral designs and palm accents that will turn heads at weddings and special occasions. 

The one downside of the shop is that it takes a while for your order to be delivered, even for the ready-to-wear pieces.

Our last order took a little under three weeks to arrive, but they do have an exclusive set of black abayas that are delivered within 24 hours only in Riyadh.
