Soirée Bridal Gowns

Italian architecture, Parisian ateliers, and moonlit ruins in Greece. Stylish gatherings in salons, drawing rooms, and conservatories. Young, aristocratic 18th-century women abroad, absorbing art, fashion, and ideas as they traveled. 

Inspired by the Grand Tour, these modern wedding dresses express the cosmopolitan taste, culture, and garments collected through contemporary and old-world fabrics, unfussy silhouettes, and architectural details.  

Meticulous seam work and corseting sculpt the body like classical columns and arches encountered at historic ruins. Sustainable mikado, lustrous taffeta, floral jacquards, airy dupioni, and delicate laces mingle. Ball gowns are styled with Basque waists, diving necklines, and surprising details like hand-tied bows, while cat-eye strapless necklines marry architectural fit-and-flare shapes. Sleek wedding dresses with daringly open backs and movement-following, pocketed skirts are designed to dance until sunrise. 

Woven throughout are decidedly chic lace gauntlets and a high-necked, long-sleeved lace jacket cut to reveal the décolleté.
