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!
6. Liz Martinez Bridal
If you are looking for a couture moment. definitely check out Liz Martinez Bridal. Known as the "Cinderella" of Israeli designers, I love her use of florals and how even the "sexier" styles are still classy.
Here Comes the Bride
Whether you're newly engaged, deep in wedding planning, or simply dreaming like myself, I hope you loved exploring these stunning wedding dresses. I know I’d love to wear so many of them one day!
Have a beautiful life,
