Fashion is, in principle, interesting, and wedding fashion is a world in which it is incredibly pleasant to be, where 90-60-90 does not exist, where you get on a special occasion, and where you are the main character or, at least, in the main roles. Today especially for website the founders and representatives of 5 Russian wedding brands shared their inspiration and images with us, opening the door to this magical space of delicate fabrics flying towards love.

Maria Alekseeva Vesssna Wedding

I was always drawn to something insanely elegant, spectacular, something that was missing in everyday life. For more than 4 years I have been developing my own corset technology, which then grew into a technology for sewing wedding dresses.

I started sewing more “tightly” in 2009, and the more complex projects there were with many fittings, the more I realized that I could feel the customer. This was and remains to this day the main thing: I work with a specific person, character, mood and wishes, and only then everything works out.

I am closest to working with natural sources of inspiration. Nature is an ideal adviser: color, shape, mood, sensation - you can see absolutely everything, process it, pass it through yourself and get a unique result.

My bride? First of all, live. A person who does not seek to put on a standard fashionable mask of modern trends. A person who knows and loves himself. I help to find their unique beauty, and this can only be done in the absence of fear. Let yourself be wonderful and don't be afraid of anything!

Victoria Spirina

To begin with, I have a natural interest in dresses, like any girl. You always want to have interesting, high-quality clothes in your wardrobe, regardless of whether it is casual or event clothes. And I, as a person with an art education and a heightened sense of beauty, have special complaints about dresses. Seeing what was happening around, that everything was somehow insipid, I thought that I could decorate this world.

And for about 3 years now I have been creating models, wedding collections - in our country, life goes on for two years, so I think that a lot has been done.

I can be inspired in a moment - from something interesting seen or heard. Theatrical performances, concerts, travel are all sources of inspiration. Yes, and the work itself - my bride's eyes are burning, she is full of life, she is interesting, self-sufficient and very beautiful! And most importantly, she is a person. When such a girl puts on my dress, she becomes just a princess.

Our dresses are designed to emphasize the charm and individuality of every girl. Delicate and airy, they are the personification of beauty and lightness, embodied in the clouds of tulle skirts and ornate patterns of the finest lace.

Once in our workshop, you find yourself in a world of many delicate shades, sensual silhouettes and various textures! Each dress for us is a little story, a fairy tale: from the development of a sketch, the selection of fabrics and hand embroidery with attention to the smallest details until the moment when our dress meets a beautiful and happy girl to emphasize her beauty and personality on the most special day!

We are sincerely grateful to our brides, so different and so unique that they never cease to inspire us and give us the opportunity to implement a wide variety of creative ideas!

Wedding dresses "Milamira"

For almost eight years now, every day we meet with brides and wedding dresses. We do what we truly love, embody the ideas that excite us, and leave it up to the brides to decide how well we do it. And our own brand and production recently turned a year old.

Our inspiration is primarily our hometown, St. Petersburg. Outstanding architecture, a mixture of European culture with unique Russian traditions, an amazing history of ballet, art - all this, together with a special gray sky and piercing winds, lives in us and in everything we create.

The bride of Milamir is the embodiment of both femininity and strength.

Imagine a ballerina: on the stage, in the spotlight, we see an ethereal creature, as if having no weight. It would seem, what could be more tender and fragile? But in fact, behind this external lightness is a titanic work, and even the most severe men can envy the physical and moral strength of our fragile ballerina.

On December 23, James Mischka, one of the founders of the world-famous bridal brand Badgley Mischka, turns 53 years old. Having founded their company 25 years ago, the designers immediately established themselves as one of the most respected professionals in their field.

the site presents a list of the most influential and famous fashion houses specializing in the creation of wedding collections.

Year of occurrence: 1990

Founder: Acclaimed bridal queen Vera Wang is a former professional figure skater who left the world of sports after failing to make the US Olympic team. For 17 years, Vera worked as a senior fashion editor in a glossy magazine and only after that she decided to try her hand at the field, which eventually brought her worldwide fame.

Brand: There is no designer in the world who has had a greater impact on bridal fashion than Vera Wang. Her wedding dresses have become synonymous with luxury and contemporary elegance. The history of the brand Vera Wang has already become a legend: preparing for her own wedding in 1989, Vera could not find a dress that matched her ideas of beauty. In the stores were presented only old-fashioned bulky dresses, infinitely far from grace. Then Wong decided not only to create a dress for herself, which ended up costing $10,000, but also to launch a line of wedding dresses. In 1990, the first Vera Wang boutique was opened on Madison Avenue in New York. Within a couple of years, the brand became the most famous and authoritative in its niche.

“It is not Vera Wang’s dresses that are customized for themselves, but themselves for Vera’s dresses,” this phrase, which was heard in more than one Hollywood movie, has become the best description of the status the brand has achieved over the years of its existence. Vera Wang dresses are characterized by classic silhouettes reimagined in a modern way and the use of luxurious fabrics - silk, lace, taffeta and organza. Often wedding dresses of the brand are decorated with bows, ribbons, embroidery and rhinestones. The designer's philosophy is that all brides can be divided into five types: traditionalists, modernists, minimalists, individualists and romantic natures. Given these types, you can create the perfect dress for any girl. Vera herself says that her works are designed to make the bride sensual and sexy, to emphasize her individuality.

Celebrity Clients: The brand of choice for the rich and famous brides around the world. Half the stars of the world have chosen a Wong dress to walk down the aisle. The list of names is endless: Ivanka Trump, Victoria Beckham, Kate Hudson, Mariah Carey, Chelsea Clinton, Jennifer Garner, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson, Alicia Keys, Sharon Stone, Uma Thurman and many others.

Founder: Born and raised in the Philippines, Monique Lullier knew from childhood that she would definitely become a designer.

To fulfill her dream, Monique went to Los Angeles, where, after graduating from the Institute of Design and Merchandising, she opened her own business.

Brand: As with Vera Wang, Monique Lhuillier created her first wedding dress for herself: in 1995, a 23-year-old girl could not find her dream dress, so she designed the wedding dress herself. This captivated her so much that a year later she presented a whole collection of wedding dresses, which delighted fashion experts, buyers and wealthy Californian brides. Monique's first collection is dresses that the designer herself considers ideal: each of them she could wear to her own wedding.

The style of Monique Lhuillier brand is dresses of refined and refined silhouettes, invariably emphasizing the female figure.

Brand: Having founded their brand in 1988, Badgley and Mishka released the first collection of wedding dresses only five years later - in 1993. Designers say that the main inspiration for them is the golden era of Hollywood and the style of its main icons - such as Marilyn Monroe and Rita Hayworth.

Badgley Mischka dresses are distinguished by simple streamlined shapes, the absence of a large number of decorative elements and baroque abundance.

Brand: The Marchesa brand achieved overwhelming popularity after the release of the very first collection. Just two years after its founding, it entered the list of the most influential fashion brands according to the Council of Fashion Designers of America. Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig owe their success to numerous celebrities who quickly appreciated the intricate, complex design of their creations and made the brand the most popular red carpet brand for high-profile events.

Founder: Amsala Aberra was born in Ethiopia, after graduating from high school she flew to the United States to continue her education there. Due to the revolution that began in her homeland, Amsala was forced to stay in the States, where she began to sew clothes for herself, because she could not afford to buy them in a store.

Brand: Starting making wedding dresses with a single model created for her own marriage, Amsala never dreamed that she would one day open a personalized boutique on Madison Avenue. Her business began with an advertisement in the newspaper - the girl offered individual tailoring of wedding dresses, the design and manufacture of which she herself was engaged in. Within a few years, Amsale has grown into one of America's biggest bridal brands.

Dresses from Amsale are characterized by simple clean lines, minimalism and restraint. The designer herself says that the phrase “Modern forever” has become her professional motto, by which she means a modern interpretation of the classics. Amsala often complements traditional white dresses with color accents - a pale blue belt or a purple bow.

Celebrity Clients: Amsala Aberra has designed wedding gowns for actresses Anna Paquin, America Ferrera, Sara Rue, and Alec Baldwin's wife Hilaria. In addition, her dresses hit the big screen - Amsale creations were worn by the heroines of the films "The Hangover" and "27 Weddings".

Year of origin: 1997

Founder: Lebanese-born Reem Akra's career began when a fashion editor spotted her at a party wearing an organza dress embroidered with rhinestones and beads. In fact, Rome made it from the tablecloth that covered the table in her mother's house. 10 days later, the debut show of Reem Acra took place, to which the same editor was invited, who then covered the show in the magazine.

Brand: Unlike most colleagues who create simple and emphatically modern wedding collections, Rome Acra richly decorates her models with embroidery, rhinestones, pearls, draperies and lace. Her deliberately luxurious outfits are most often awarded the epithet "royal". A signature feature of Reem Acra dresses is gold thread embroidery. Models of the brand are always complex, refined and not similar to each other. Designers often bring avant-garde elements such as feather skirts or long capes to their collections, sacrificing functionality in favor of a bold design. Acre does not change only the traditional white color. Today, Reem Acra wedding dresses are sold in more than 150 stores worldwide.

Celebrity Clients: The Lebanese designer takes a personal approach to her celebrity client work, taking into account the wishes of the client and creating a unique dress that embodies her wildest fantasies. Reem Acra's celebrity brides include Leanne Rimes, Jenna Dewan, Marcia Cross, Christina Applegate and Jennie Garth.
