Del Pozo Gown
“This exclusive bridal gown reinterprets the universe of Delpozo – modern, fresh and feminine. Delicate fabrics such as silk tulle and panama cotton with a relaxed silhouette create this timeless style.” – Josep Font, Delpozo
Delphine Manivet Gown
“The dress should be a woman’s only makeup; I wanted to recreate the color of a cultured pearl. Coco (Chanel) said that a pearl necklace illuminates the face with its aura. I love the idea of working on the color of a cultured pearl that changes between ivory and can be almost transparent at times, and even sometimes a bit grey depending on the light; just like a woman that needs to be bathed in the light! I kept the strong codes of the house as is seen with the “Suivez Moi Jeune Homme” (Trans: Follow Me Young Man) which is a long flowing ribbon as well as a precise biased cut gown. It’s a simple but spectacular gown that perfectly represents the Parisian bride.” It’s the first time I have expressed an inspiration concerning brilliance and illumination, this idea naturally came to mind for this collaboration with Tiffany’s.” – Delphine Manivet
Reem Acra Gown
“The inspiration for this dress, and really my entire bridal collection, comes from the bride I envision wearing it; a modern woman who is fashionable and feels like the most confident version of herself in my dress.” – Reem Acra
Christos Costarellos Gown
“Committed to the luxury bohemian aesthetic, I drew inspiration for this exclusive gown from contemporary women, effortlessly provocative but at the same time maintaining a playful and elegant simplicity.” – Christos Costarellos
Elizabeth Kennedy Gown
“The inspiration behind both gowns was to reinterpret classical silhouettes in a more modern way. ” – Elizabeth Kennedy
Romona Keveza Gown
“I love creating a design that gives brides the option of multiple looks. This floral applique gown, with a detachable silk tulle train, allows the bride to have a majestic look for her ceremony and an equally stunning look for her reception.” – Romona Keveza
Elizabeth Kennedy Gown
J. Mendel Gown
“I think of all my gowns as modern day heirlooms. Something you will have and keep forever.” – GillesMendel, J.Mendel
Monique Lhuillier Gown
“For this collaboration I wanted to design an exclusive ballgown silhouette with a high low hemline and dramatic skirt with Chantilly lace and beaded embroidery to create romance in the movement of the gown. A sheer back fastened with delicate crystal buttons all the way down finishes with one blue button. The traditional “something blue” is the finishes a classic bridal gown with a light and modern twist.” – Monique Lhuillier
