Say Yes to Elegance: My favorite wedding dresses and designers

Honestly, I’ve never envisioned a grand, elaborate wedding. My version of a fairytale celebration is all about intimacy—soft candlelight, lush greenery, golden sunshine, and, of course, impeccable fashion. I picture myself in a modern white dress, having my ultimate Vogue moment, alongside a groom effortlessly chic in Prada menswear.


What excites me most is how wedding fashion has evolved, with emerging designers bringing fresh, forward-thinking perspectives to bridalwear. Today, I want to share some of my favorite wedding dress designers—hoping to help you find the dreamiest gown for your magical day! ✨

Dreamy Bridal Designers

1. Danielle Frankkel


Inspired by celebration and the beauty of bridal, Danielle Frankkel is a New York City-based label whose garments are made in the garment district. I love how etherial her designs are, with each dress being more beautiful than the next. If you wish to visit their showroom, you will need to book appointment which I will provide a button for below.

2. Vivienne Westwood


When it comes to bridal, nobody does it like Vivienne Westwood. After all, Carrie Bradshaw was going to wear Westwood until Big left her at the alter (which, BTW, Aiden would have never)! The late British designer was heavily inspired by both art and history, often inspired by Venus, the goddess of female beauty, love, rebirth, and fertility. I love how romantic and dramatic Vivienne Westwood's bridal collection is while still being so classic.

3. Chana Marelus


Originally from Belgium, Chana Marelus is a masterful couture designer based in Tel Aviv, Israel. Her designs are both modern and beautiful, highlighting the female form. I have never seen such unique bridal designs, and hope to wear a design of hers someday.

4. KAMPERETT


Based in San Francisco, California, KAMPERETT is a womenswear label designed by Anna Chiu and Valerie Santillo. This brand is my favorite bridal wear brand and mark my words, I will wear their designs when I get married. I love every single piece of their bridal collection which screams "effortless and chic." With the romantic laces and ethereal tulle, I cannot even choose a favorite piece.

5. The Own Studio


The own studio never misses on their contemporary, elegant, and stylish approach to bridal. Founded by Jess Kay and Rosie Williams, the London-based designers, they create pieces you can wear on your big day, and for various events after in an effort to bring more sustainability to the formal wear space. We love sustainable queens!
