Here are almost all the most famous and best brands of wedding dresses, it remains only to make a choice!
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 fiancee? 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 find them. 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 - all these are 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.
Wedding workshop "Peony"
For the fifth year now, our weekdays and weekends have been entirely composed of patterns, lace, shimmering beads, clouds of tulle, smiles of our brides and incredible happiness, mixed with gratitude for doing what we love.
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 detailed the smallest details until the moment when our dress meets the 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 sky gray shade and piercing winds lives in us and in everything that 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 ethereal creation like it has 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.
Before creation Gabbiano Larisa invested her talent in the development of other people's ideas. After launching her own brand in 2008, Larisa became one of the best wedding designers Russian wedding fashion industry. For six years more than 10 collections of wedding dresses have been created, models are presented in more than 110 cities of Russia and neighboring countries, and the geography is constantly expanding. In their work, the Gabbiano team uses fabrics (satin, silk) and expensive European-made laces. various shades white, gold, pink and cappuccino color, beads and glass beads, pearls. When creating models, it is used hand embroidery. TM Gabbiano is more than 2000 original models wedding dresses created by professionals. Every year Gabbiano releases new collections of dresses, admiring new ideas and fashion trends. Dresses represented in more than 500 cities of Russia and abroad. Gabbiano is constantly working on expanding the network of dealerships.
We would also like to single out the wonderful Brand Designer Oksana Mukha. This is a Ukrainian brand that is very popular in Russia.
Ukrainian brand OKSANA MUKHA was founded 20 years ago and has already managed to win one of the top positions in the European wedding fashion market. This company has confidently declared itself in the segment of exquisite wedding dresses and evening dresses, where competition is traditionally high and where the “entry ticket” is not easily obtained. The woman who formed the concept of wedding fashion in Ukraine. Oksana Teodorovna creates dresses that complement the personality. However, oddly enough, her own wedding played a key role in the history of the brand's formation. Probably, the designer's success lies in the fact that she very subtly feels the mood of the newlyweds and knows what they really want. The brand's success is growing with an arithmetic progression: entering the international market, opening an author's salon in his native Lviv and Paris, international specialized exhibitions, awards and shows. Style from OKSANA MUKHA is the embodiment of high artistic taste, designer's skill, combined with European quality and the best materials from around the world. This is the personification of exquisite elegance and tenderness in every dress. 3. The collections were successfully presented at international specialized exhibitions throughout Europe.

Since the moment when “import substitution” has become one of the usual words, Russian designers have indeed been treated with special pride. For me, as the founder of my own brand in the past, this is infinitely pleasant: before, brides also welcomed the “French brand” or “Italian brand”, as they now do with the “Russian designer”. At the same time, in Western countries, the attitude towards our designers has changed in better side: often for fashion shoots they specifically look for outfits and accessories for brides 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 colossal designers and brands that are not inferior to top Western competitors. Especially for MC, I spoke with leading Russian designers, whose names are already recognized at the international level, 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 brand positioning. And the style of EDEM today can be defined as "botanical minimalism." We work only with the best materials with the highest quality of processing, we do not use synthetic fabrics. The theme of botany can also be traced in the fact that the collections are stylized as flowers, buds, petals and other plant motifs. However, we always use different models: starting from airy layered dresses, ending with laconic and strict silhouettes. And we broadcast, on the one hand, the mood of freedom, on the other hand, 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, its main task we believe - 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 sees herself when she comes to our masters in an atelier or boutique.
Baranova Irina, 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 has a serious inner strength and strong character. The performance of a ballerina, which becomes the embodiment of refined grace and airy tenderness, is in fact impossible without many hours of exhausting work and true power- spirit and body. It is this combination of lightness and firmness that we try to convey through our work.
We believe in timeless classics, which in our understanding is a feminine silhouette, an emphasis on the waist, and, no doubt, lace. But we are happy to complement the classic solutions with modern details: unusual materials(for example, neoprene or leather), technological solutions in decor (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 affordable price and high quality workmanship. It also seems to us that Russian designers have demonstrated to 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 from Russia.
Katerina Komarova, Bluebells Bridal Couture designer:
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, that's why our designers have so much enthusiasm and desire to work. Hence, so many unique designs, interesting ideas, not licked from Western colleagues in the shop.
It is very important for us to use the highest quality materials, so we order silk, delicate Chantilly lace, embroidered lace and tulle only from France and Italy from manufacturers of couture fabrics. 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, probably, two directions can be distinguished here: experiments with a color palette and experiments with decor. Modern Brides they are very bold in choosing the color of the dress - for example, last season the top had all shades of gray: from pearl light gray to dark gray of a stormy sky. In addition to these colors, our palette contains golden, powdery, peach, pinkish, blue shades, which so emphasize the tenderness and beauty of the bride on this important day. If we talk about experiments with decor, here 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 a new wave of Russian designers. We offer trendy light styles unusual colors, without corsets, braces and skirts with rings. And the brides see it, compare it with what is presented in ordinary wedding dress stores, and understand that they are much closer to the new one. wedding style, they come to us - and here the magic is already happening. If we take competition from Western brands, yes, it is difficult. They have a sewing infrastructure that has been created over the years, a system of seasonal shows, a system of sales and interaction with buyers has been established. We still have to fill bumps by trial and error. We ourselves seek out suppliers of fabrics, we are looking 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 Look to the classics. We are sensitive to traditions, but we consider it necessary to include modern and fashionable elements in the collection. We follow trends but stay true to our style. Brides change, and so do our dresses. Our bride will be able to choose from us the classic, romantic dress“princess”, and at the same time we can offer her to assemble her own image thanks to the latest trend in the wedding industry, thanks to the so-called weddingseparates - this split tops and skirts that can be combined as you like. We help and guide brides, we advise models. Sometimes even the groom asks for advice so that his image is correctly chosen. We believe that the wedding begins with the bride's wedding dress, the whole wedding should be built around them. A romantic bride means a romantic dress and so on. The bride should be herself on the wedding day, be irresistible and feel confident all day long.
Over the past 10-15 years, a fashion industry has begun to form in our country, including the wedding industry. And that's great. We have accumulated knowledge and experience, and now we are 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 the formation of the collection. Western buyers are showing interest in us, and this is good news. We offer a different product that differs in style, spirit, and often, we have a more attractive price, which does not reflect on the quality. But often our brands 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 brings 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 linger on the catwalks and in real life. Delicate shades powders, cool gray, smoky, blue... We also have classic white and milky dresses in our collection, the main thing is to choose the right shade.
Now it has become popular to sew dresses to order, when the designer can listen to the guest and catch her style, mood, character, so that the phrase from the film: “It’s not Vera Wang’s dress that adapts to you, but you to it!” – was no longer our reality.
But there is also negative side development of the fashionable wedding sphere. The desire of brides to create their dress individually is growing - the number of unscrupulous "designers" is also growing. This happens in every field. most big problem it becomes that before trying on, the quality of fabrics and work is not always visible from the photographs. Well, so far we have not managed to bring up the demands of brides. Many, seeing beautiful picture turn a blind eye to quality. On the positive side, the presence of supply and competition increases the circle of interested customers.
Maria Alekseeva, bridal and evening fashion artist, creator of the VESSSNA WEDDING brand and workshop:
In Russia, there is a rather serious art school of fashion designers, and now there are opportunities to express themselves and declare themselves. Style VESSSNA WEDDING, first of all, we define as a complete consonance of the bride and the dress. It is worth noting that the classic wedding look is also influenced by new trends, but traditionally it is dominated by shades of white and cream, luxurious lace and sparkling embroidery. Such a dress requires a particularly careful selection of materials. A trendy image is no less time-consuming, it is worth touching on the concept and style of the entire holiday, the mood and interests of the bride, her character and preferences. Such an outfit is far from always tied to white color and familiar materials and finishes, but this does not make it 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-term traditions.
How interesting our proposals may be in other countries - time will tell, but it is quite difficult to compete with large-scale industries, due to their pricing. The most important thing that we need now is healthy competition, because it will become the engine of progress, 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 headwear and accessories brand, organizer of the festival stylish weddings Wfest:
I launched my brand while in the UK, but the presence of a Russian origin in its DNA was noticeable even by the name - Beretka. The style of the headwear brand is very diverse. I often draw inspiration from vintage. I have big love to 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, little combs, tiaras - classic options usual for brides. But knowing my brand, anyone can see that the incarnation often takes on more modern forms. If we are talking about a tiara in the sense of Beretkah, then it will be a tiara made of quartz crystals, and not a classic tiara with rhinestones.
Now I live in two cities, Moscow-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, nevertheless, after royal wedding in England, today's youth began to gain more weight on hats, albeit not in everyday life. As for the demand in the West, some of the designers with whom I collaborate, knowing about my Russian roots, ask me to give a special touch to headwear, 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 get 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. For 7 years, we have gone from "hard" classics to more flexible modernity: we expanded the palette of the model range, added colored embroideries and voluminous silk flowers, a more comfortable bustier replaced the corset. In a word, we went on an experiment, and we won.
What is the key to success? - Not just to keep abreast of trends, but to anticipate them and even dictate. Every day we "monitor" the wedding market, study the work of colleagues around the world, get inspired by the work of photographers, 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 in a certain period of time, but we do not forget about the classics either.
Dresses by Natasha Bovykina have always been distinguished by special tenderness, this is their peculiarity. Of course, trends dictate their own rules: in our new collection you can see how the voluminous flowers bloom harmoniously on the dresses. It is also worth mentioning lace separately, now it is fading into the background, becoming an element of the decor of the overall composition. And instead, hand embroidery enters the scene. Drawings can be varied - from natural motifs and flowers to ornate abstract patterns. Much depends on the choice of fabric. For each model, the designer determines the perfect formula: style, fabric, colors, decor. But, of course, our main guideline is the desire of brides to slightly change the color or style - and this is how very special, unique dresses are born.
Being in constant contact with our European colleagues, we see that the assortment in their stores is oversaturated with classic models. And since Russian designers have established themselves as innovators who easily capture all the 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 the strength - we are grateful to our competitors for the fact that we are constantly in a creative tone. Competition is the way to success, so full speed ahead!
