Here is another video in which you can look at the designer’s elegant dresses:

Here are almost all the most famous and best brands of wedding dresses, all that remains is to make a choice!

From the moment “import substitution” became one of the common words, Russian designers are indeed treated with special pride. As the founder of my own brand in the past, this is infinitely pleasant to me: before, brides were just as welcoming to a “French brand” or “Italian brand” as they are now to a “Russian designer”. At the same time, in Western countries, the attitude towards our designers has changed for the better: often for fashion shoots they specifically look for outfits and accessories for brides from Russian brands. Of course, this does not mean that absolutely everything made in Russia has the highest quality mark. But today in the wedding fashion market there are our designers of a colossal level and brands that are not inferior to top Western competitors. Especially for MC, I spoke with leading Russian designers, whose names are already recognized internationally, and asked them to talk about what they have to face when building a business in Russia and, of course, about the main global fashion trends of the season.

Alena Demina, founder of the EDEM Сouture brand:

We were the first in the world to define Organic couture as the main positioning of the brand. And the EDEM style today can be defined as “botanical minimalism.” We work only with the best materials with the highest quality processing; we do not use synthetic fabrics. The theme of botany can also be seen in the fact that the collections contain stylization of flowers, buds, petals and other plant motifs. At the same time, we always use different models: from airy multi-layered dresses to laconic and strict silhouettes. And we broadcast, on the one hand, a mood of freedom, and on the other, more softness and tenderness.

Our collections always make you admire and fantasize about the beauty of the inner universe of the woman who chooses these clothes. Therefore, we consider our main task to be to feel the style of each specific girl and try to discover her uniqueness through her image, the image of her wedding or wedding dress, which she herself sees when she comes to our masters in an atelier or boutique.

Irina Baranova, founder and designer of the Milamira brand:

“Milamira” are dresses that we create for a romantic bride who is not afraid to show her femininity, but who also has serious inner strength and a strong character. The ballerina's performance, which becomes the embodiment of refined grace and airy tenderness, is in fact impossible without many hours of exhausting work and true strength - spirit and body. It is this combination of lightness and firmness that we try to convey through our creativity.

We believe in timeless classics, which in our understanding is a feminine silhouette, an emphasis on the waist, and, without a doubt, lace. But we are happy to complement classic solutions with modern details: unusual materials (for example, neoprene or leather), technological solutions in decoration (for example, laser cutting and computer embroidery).
Milamira became one of the first domestic brands to successfully enter the European and North American markets. Of course, at the start we played on the weakening of the ruble and were able to offer foreign brides a very attractive combination of affordable price and high quality workmanship. Also, it seems to us, Russian designers showed the Western market a new look at femininity, an unusual, fresh design. We often hear from our foreign brides the words: “I have never seen such dresses before!”, which means that we really manage to surprise the world with wedding fashion coming from Russia.

Katerina Komarova, designer of Bluebells Bridal Couture:

Perhaps the main competitive advantage of our designers is that for many this is not always a 100% commercial story. This is their creativity, what they live for, which is why our designers have so much enthusiasm and desire to work. Hence there are so many unique designs, interesting ideas that were not stolen from Western colleagues.

The use of the highest quality materials is very important to us, so we order silk, delicate Chantilly lace, embroidered lace and tulle only from France and Italy from couture fabric manufacturers. We pay great attention to elegant hand embroidery, which is performed by our St. Petersburg craftswomen using the highest quality materials: Japanese beads and Austrian rhinestones. And if we talk about trends, then we can probably distinguish two directions: experiments with color palettes and experiments with decor. Modern brides are very bold when choosing the color of a dress - for example, last season the top included all shades of gray: from pearly light gray to a dark gray shade of a stormy sky. In addition to these colors, our palette contains golden, powdery, peach, pinkish, blue shades, which emphasize the tenderness and beauty of the bride on this important day. If we talk about experiments with decor, then we use a variety of embroidery techniques, try new materials, and sometimes voluminous fabric flowers “grow” on our dresses, dresses are decorated with feathers and other exotic details.

Forming a sense of style for our brides is, in our opinion, a very important task for the new wave of Russian designers. We offer fashionable lightweight styles in unusual colors, without corsets, drawstrings or hoop skirts. And brides see this, compare it with what is presented in regular wedding dress stores, and understand that they are much closer to the new wedding style, they come to us - and then magic happens. If we take competition with Western brands, yes, it’s difficult. They have a sewing infrastructure that has been created for years, a system of seasonal shows, a sales system and interaction with buyers. For now, we have to figure things out by trial and error. We ourselves look for suppliers of fabrics, look for talented seamstresses and embroiderers in all cities of Russia - in a word, we are building our design world bit by bit.

Victoria Gusova and Elena Elert, creative directors of White Chicks :

White Chicks can be briefly described as: “A new take on a classic.” We are sensitive to traditions, but we believe it is necessary to include modern and fashionable elements in the collection. We follow trends, but remain true to our style. Brides change, and our dresses change with them. Our bride will be able to choose from us a classic, romantic princess dress, and at the same time we can invite her to put together her own look thanks to the latest trend in the wedding industry, thanks to the so-called weddingseparates - these are separate tops and skirts that can be combined whatever. We help and guide brides and advise models. Sometimes even the groom asks for advice so that his image is chosen correctly. We believe that a wedding begins with the bride's wedding dress, the entire wedding should be built around them. A romantic bride means a romantic dress and so on. The bride should be herself on her wedding day, be irresistible and feel confident all day long.

Over the past 10-15 years, the fashion industry, including the wedding industry, has begun to take shape in our country. And that's great. We have accumulated knowledge and experience, and are now quite capable of competing with Western designers. Now in Russia there are a lot of interesting brands in the wedding industry; they are distinguished by both style and approach to creating a collection. Western buyers are showing interest in us, and this is good news. We offer a different product, different in style, spirit, and often we have a more attractive price, which does not affect the quality. But our brands often offer couture and demi-couture.

Tatyana Kochnova, designer, founder of the Tanya Kochnova studio:

We design and create custom-made dresses using European fabrics: French lace and tulle, English silks; handmade work adds nobility to the image and allows the dress to look beautiful not only from afar, but also up close. The main focus of our studio has always been colored wedding dresses; I think this trend will continue to linger on the catwalks in real life. Delicate shades of powder, cool dove, smoky, blue... We also have classic white and milky dresses in the collection, the main thing is to choose the right shade.

Nowadays it has become popular to sew dresses to order, when the designer can listen to the guest and grasp her style, mood, character, so that the phrase from the movie: “It’s not Vera Wang’s dress that adapts to you, but you to it!” – was no longer our reality.

But there is also a negative side to the development of the fashionable wedding sphere. The desire of brides to create their dresses individually is growing, and the number of unscrupulous “designers” is also growing. This happens in any field. The biggest problem is that before trying on, the quality of fabrics and workmanship is not always visible from photographs. Well, so far we have not had time to cultivate the demands of brides. Many people, seeing a beautiful picture, turn a blind eye to the quality. The positive thing is that the presence of supply and competition increases the circle of interested customers.

Maria Alekseeva, wedding and evening fashion artist, creator of the VESSSNA WEDDING brand and workshop:

In Russia there is a fairly serious art school of fashion designers, and now there are opportunities to express themselves and make themselves known. First of all, we define the VESSSNA WEDDING style as complete harmony between the bride and the dress. It is worth noting that the classic wedding look is influenced by new trends, but traditionally it is dominated by shades of white and cream, luxurious lace and sparkling embroidery. This dress requires a particularly careful selection of materials. A trendy image is no less labor-intensive; it is worth touching on the concept and style of the entire holiday, the mood and interests of the bride, her character and preferences. This outfit is not always tied to the color white and the usual materials and finishes, but this does not make it any less solemn. Our mission is to help brides not get lost in all the newfangled trends and listen more to their desires, intertwining them with long-standing traditions.

Time will tell to what extent our proposals may be interesting in other countries, but it is quite difficult to compete with large manufacturers due to their pricing. The most important thing we need now is healthy competition, because it will be the engine of progress and development of the wedding textile industry and, perhaps, then we will be able to fully talk about competitiveness at the global level.

Tatyana Ashakova, creator of the Beretkah brand of headwear and accessories, organizer of the WFEST stylish wedding festival:

I launched my brand while in the UK, but the presence of Russian origins in its DNA was noticeable even in the name - “Beretka”. The style of the headwear brand is very diverse. I often find inspiration in vintage. I have a great love for antiquity in its various manifestations, in particular, I am inspired by the Art Deco era. Therefore, once or twice a year I try to release at least one such collection. I also love headbands, small combs, tiaras - classic options familiar to brides. But knowing my brand, anyone can see that the embodiment often takes on more modern forms. If we are talking about a tiara in the Beretkah sense, then it will be a tiara made of quartz crystals, and not a classic one with rhinestones.

Now I live in two cities, Moscow and Berlin, and this forms a special vision and creates a very interesting bridge between the West and Russia. For example, I noted for myself how, despite the fact that the tradition of wearing hats has not yet been revived in Russia, after the royal wedding in England, hats began to gain more weight among modern youth, even if not in everyday life. As for the demand in the West, some designers with whom I collaborate, knowing about my Russian roots, ask me to give a special flavor to the headdresses, since I create some products for specific European boutiques. Therefore, in my works you can see our, Russian: headdresses a la russe, towering crowns in a modern, geometric style. And sometimes I even receive requests for replicas of products that were created a year or two ago.

Tikhonova Anastasia, official representative of the Natasha Bovykina brand:

The Natasha Bovykina brand was created in 2010. Over the course of 7 years, we have gone from “rigid” classics to more flexible modernity: we expanded the palette of the model range, added colored embroidery and voluminous silk flowers, and replaced the corset with a more comfortable bustier. In short, we experimented and ended up winning.

What is the key to success? – Not just keeping abreast of trends, but predicting them and even dictating them. Every day we “monitor” the wedding market, study the work of colleagues around the world, are inspired by the work of photographers, and take note of new techniques of decorators and florists. All this is an integral part of progress, because our task, first of all, is to offer a unique product that will look harmonious at a certain period of time, but we also do not forget about the classics.
Natasha Bovykina's dresses have always been particularly tender; this is their specialty. Of course, trends dictate their own rules: in our new collection you can see how harmoniously voluminous flowers bloom on dresses. It is also worth mentioning lace separately; now it is fading into the background, becoming a decorative element of the overall composition. And instead, hand embroidery comes onto the scene. Drawings can be varied - from natural motifs and colors to ornate abstract patterns. Much depends on the choice of fabric. For each model, the designer determines the ideal formula: style, fabric, color scheme, decor. But, of course, our main guideline remains the desire of the brides to change the color or style a little - and this is how completely special, unique dresses are born.

Being in constant contact with our European colleagues, we see that the assortment in their showrooms is oversaturated with classic models. And since Russian designers have established themselves as innovators who easily catch all fashion trends, it is not surprising that Europe turns to us for fresh ideas when the need for creativity arises. The Russian wedding sector is quickly adapting to all changes. Perhaps because we are not market giants compared to famous foreign brands. But this is our strength – we are grateful to our competitors for constantly being in creative shape. Competition is the path to success, so full speed ahead!

On December 23, James Mischka, one of the founders of the world famous wedding 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 creating wedding collections.

Year of origin: 1990

Founder: The universally recognized queen of bridal fashion, Vera Wang, is a former professional figure skater who left the world of competitive 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 world fame.

Brand: There is no designer in the world who has had a greater influence on bridal fashion than Vera Wang. Her wedding dresses have become synonymous with luxury and modern elegance. The history of the Vera Wang brand has already become a legend: while preparing for her own wedding in 1989, Vera could not find a dress that corresponded to her ideas of beauty. The stores presented only old-fashioned, bulky dresses, infinitely far from grace. Then Wong decided not only to create a dress for herself, which ultimately cost $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’s not Vera Wang’s dresses that fit themselves, but themselves – Vera’s dresses,” - this phrase, heard in more than one Hollywood film, 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 reinterpreted in a modern way and the use of luxurious fabrics - silk, lace, taffeta and organza. Often the brand's wedding dresses 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. Considering 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: – A favorite brand of rich and famous brides around the world. Half of the world's biggest stars chose a Wong dress to walk down the aisle. The list of names goes on and on: 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: Monique Lhuillier was born and raised in the Philippines and knew from childhood that she would become a designer. Already at the age of 11, the girl drew her first sketches and helped her mother, also a designer, choose fabrics for collections. 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 in the case of Vera Wang, Monique Lhuillier first created a wedding dress for herself: in 1995, the 23-year-old girl could not find the dress of her dreams, 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 consists of dresses that the designer herself considers ideal: she could wear each of them to her own wedding.

The style of the Monique Lhuillier brand is dresses of sophisticated and sophisticated silhouettes that invariably emphasize the female figure. The designer traditionally uses a lot of lace in his collections, creating feminine and elegant dresses from this classic material. Monique's layered puffy dresses help brides create the look of a modern princess.

Famous clients: Monique boasts no less impressive list of celebrity clients than her main competitor Vera Wang. It was her dresses that Reese Witherspoon, Alicia Silverstone, Ashlee Simpson, Pink, Carrie Underwood and dozens of other celebrities got married in.

Year of origin: 1988

Founders: Mark Badgley and James Mischka are classmates at New York's Parsons School of Design. And if Badgley immediately decided on his choice of profession, then Mishka got into the fashion industry, having previously trained as a bioengineer. While still at Parsons, the designers decided to create a joint brand, but realized their dream only a few years after graduation, having gained experience working in large fashion houses.

Brand: Having founded their brand in 1988, Badgley and Mishka released their first collection of wedding dresses only five years later - in 1993. Designers say that their main inspiration 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 exuberance. Their outfits will appeal to brides who value comfort and convenience, but do not want to sacrifice beauty and elegance. In their collections, Badgley Mischka rarely strays away from the classic white color, only occasionally adding models in beige, cream or ivory.

Celebrity Clients: Celebrities who have chosen a Mark Badgley and James Mischka gown for their wedding include Jada Pinkett Smith, Carmen Electra and Tori Spelling. In addition, the heroine of the TV series “Sex and the City,” Charlotte York, played by actress Kristin Davis, wore their dress.

Founders: Englishwoman Georgina Chapman and Swiss-born Keren Craig met at the College of Art and Design in Wimbledon. After graduating from school, the girls headed to conquer the fashion industry in New York. There they founded their brand Marchesa, named after the extravagant Italian Marchesa Luisa Casati.

Brand: The Marchesa brand achieved stunning popularity after the release of its first collection. Just two years after its founding, it was included in 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 design of their creations and made the brand the most popular choice for walking down the red carpet of high-profile events.

The corporate style is an abundance of draperies and embroidery. Each of their dresses is a real work of art, which takes several hours of handwork to make. Numerous decorative elements: rhinestones, lace, flounces and frills give the models a unique charm. The brand's collections clearly show the influence of oriental culture and vintage motifs.

Famous clients: Dozens of famous actresses, singers and models have become devoted fans of Marchesa evening dresses. Blake Lively, Jennifer Lopez, Penelope Cruz, Renee Zellweger, Kate Hudson, Cameron Diaz, Halle Berry, Rihanna, Eva Longoria, Olivia Wilde - all these celebrities have repeatedly chosen dresses from the brand to wear on the red carpet.

Year of origin: 1985

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 sewing clothes for herself because she could not afford to buy them in the store.

Brand: Starting the production of wedding dresses with one single model created for her own wedding, 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 custom tailoring of wedding dresses, the design and manufacture of which she did herself. In just a few years, Amsale has grown into one of America's largest wedding brands.

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

Celebrity clients: Amsala Aberra has created wedding dresses for actresses Anna Paquin, America Ferrera, Sarah Rue, and Alec Baldwin's wife Hilaria. In addition, her dresses made it onto 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 Acre's career began when a fashion magazine editor spotted her at a party wearing an organza dress embroidered with rhinestones and beads. In fact, Reem made it from a 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 of her colleagues who create simple and distinctly modern wedding collections, Rome Acra richly decorates her models with embroidery, rhinestones, pearls, draperies and lace. Her deliberately luxurious outfits are most often given the epithet “royal”. The signature feature of Reem Acra dresses is gold thread embroidery. The brand's models are always complex, sophisticated and different from each other. Often, the designer introduces avant-garde elements into his collections, such as feather skirts or long capes, sacrificing functionality in favor of bold design. Akra does not change only the traditional white color. Today, Reem Acra wedding dresses are sold in more than 150 stores around the world.

Famous clients: In her work with celebrity clients, the Lebanese designer uses an individual approach - she takes into account the client’s wishes and creates a unique dress that embodies her wildest fantasies. Reem Acra's celebrity brides include LeAnn Rimes, Jenna Dewan, Marcia Cross, Christina Applegate and Jennie Garth.
