Anne Barge | Spring & Summer 2024 Collection

When Anne Barge created this line, she drew inspiration from the timeless allure of femininity and refinement. This line embraces a fresh and modern sensibility that delights in the unexpected: a touch of blue, lavender, mint green, and melon. A floral appliquéd neckline or an open draped back, a gossamer overlay of embroidered Chantilly lace, and exquisite, one-of-a-kind details make a gown unforgettable.   

“Marriers today are very confident in their personal style and are willing to take more risks than in the past,” says Shawne Jacobs, Creative Director of Anne Barge. “It could be robin’s egg blue trim, detachable ruffled lace sleeves, or a dramatic, asymmetrical neckline. There are no rules - only the gown that embodies the nearlywed's dream.”  

Enaura | "Capturing the Ephemeral" Collection

Capturing the transitory nature of beauty, the “Ephemeral” collection by Enaura features vintage-inspired silhouettes and textural details on satins and opulent silks. The delicate and flowing fabrics suggest movement and transience, while also evoking a sense of elegance and refinement. Modern features blend with nostalgic details that nod to the past but are still relevant today, like hand pleating, draping, and embroidery for a contemporary, yet classic look. Expertly designed and masterfully crafted to evoke the romance and grace of bygone eras, each gown captures the ephemeral, inviting marriers to embody every fleeting moment of their wedding day. 

Badgley Mischka | "The Grand Gesture" Collection

This season emphasizes “The Grand Gesture” with modern shapes, volume, and sweeping fabulous fabrics with statement details like sequin origami roses, dustings of delicate feathers, and a spray of jeweled flowers.

Sheer fabrics highlight the gown's ethereal nature, and satin provides structure and presence. Marriers are looking for dramatic, modern, and elegant with the allure of the past. These gowns will be at home on the rolling lawns of Newport “cottage,” the historic halls of Highcliff, or the pink beaches of Bermuda.
