New York City-based fashion designer Lela Rose creates fresh, inspired wedding dresses season after season. Much like her ready-to-wear offerings, her bridal designs are always of the highest quality and feature structured silhouettes, clean lines, and refined accents. Many credit the designer's formal training as a sculptor and painter as the reason behind her unique, artistic take on big-day fashion. That's why Rose's signature aesthetic is perfect for the elegant bride-to-be who's searching for a classic wedding dress with a twist—the designer's use of unique textures, patterned fabrics, and artful details makes each wedding dress feel as if it's one-of-a-kind. Her latest collection of wedding dresses, which debuted at Bridal Fashion Week, is proof.
This season, Rose showed a selection of 12 wedding dresses and bridal separates—like their predecessors, these ensembles offer an imaginative take on traditional wedding fashion. The dreamy designs feature laser-cut florals, crystal embroidery, and beautiful fabrics. We also love how these numbers balanced feminine and masculine elements; just take Lela Rose's new pantsuit, which is perfect the bride-to-be searching for a stylish, unexpected bridal look. The tailored vest, which features playful metallic embellishments, was shown with a sleek pair of trousers. The look would be equally at home at a City Hall wedding as it would be during a more formal reception's after-party.
After browsing through the designer's brand-new Spring 2020 wedding dress collection, we think you'll understand why Rose is a top choice for so many brides. She's a favorite in the celebrity sphere, too—she comes with glowing recommendations from several elite A-listers, including Kate Middleton, Michelle Obama, Anne Hathaway, Chrissy Teigen, and Selena Gomez. Slip into one of the following designs on your wedding day, and you'll feel empowered (and beautiful!) as you walk down the aisle.
