Bridal Profiles
Clair and William
Venue: Heritage Victorian Estate in Niagara Falls, Canada
Wedding date: May 2, 2026
Dress model: Missia Alsafi / Star Collection, Missia Alcyone / Star Collection
View story
Clair and William chose antique architecture, lush gardens, and vintage details from another era as the canvas for their wedding. Clair needed a dress to match that refined atmosphere, something classic and delicate to complement the historic setting. While retaining the class, she wanted to look chic and modern at the same time. A sleek ball gown with a beautiful long train and a strapless corset bodice, all crafted from structured fabric, with no excess detailing, ticked all the boxes. Paired with a long veil, it lent an absolutely stunning look for the formal Victorian-style ceremony.
However, after appreciating traditions, the couple wanted to enjoy the wedding party to the fullest. So, the bride switched to a mini satin dress that kept her comfortable for dancing and having fun with family and guests all night long.
Anna and Nick
Venue: Villa SOLA at Lake Como, Italy
Wedding date: September 26, 2025
Dress model: Missia Capella / Star Collection
View story
Anna and Nick have travelled across Italy multiple times. And during one of those amazing journeys, Nick proposed to Anna when they were watching the sunset at Lake Como. So it’s no wonder that they wanted an Italian wedding at a legendary villa where aristocratic dynasties used to tie the knot.
While Anna adored the sass and luxury of the Baroque estate, she wanted a clean dress without detailing that would still match the venue. The MISSIA Capella gown was created for venues like that. A fit-and-flare dress with a drapey skirt, graceful train, and form-shaping corset bodice creates a beautiful, balanced silhouette, looks extremely feminine, and gives tribute to a classic bridal tradition, without feeling old-fashioned.
Abby and John
View story
Abby likes nature and simple things. As she entered our boutique, she said she wanted something special for an outdoor wedding. She didn’t like traditional dresses, though. Neither did she like fancy detailing, body-hugging styles, or minimalist modern gowns. She was searching for something romantic, feminine, playful, and contemporary at the same time. Something that would align with her inner freedom and some kind of boldness. So, we created a custom dress for her to fully reflect her personality.
A two-piece gown with a flowy A-line skirt and a minimalist sleeveless top looks elegant and up-to-date, without actually being a classic wedding gown. It also looks light, charming, and delicate, perfectly matching both Abby’s radiant smile and the vintage-modern appeal of the mid-century venue nested among the palms and olive trees of Palm Springs.
