When it comes to knowing what brides want in a wedding dress, Remy Quinones (the founder, CEO, and creative director of Isabelle Armstrong) is a natural. Before starting her own brand in 2013, Quinones spent years running a bridal salon. There, she received firsthand input from clients about what they were looking for in their dream wedding dresses. According to her website, she realized there was a "niche for a collection of wedding gowns that expressed a passion for exquisite couture fabrics, delicate laces, and custom embroideries," and decided to sell her own designs under the brand Isabelle Armstrong.
Since then, Quinones has prided herself on designing dresses that promise "fashion, fantasy, and function"—three things that have drawn so many brides to her gowns. With each Isabelle Armstrong wedding dress collection, Quinones combines the classic with the unexpected in an attempt to combine tradition with "the current mood of the modern bride." How does she do this? In her Fall 2019 collection, for example, she took a classic A-line silhouette and embellished it with sequins and a ruffled, lavender skirt overlay.
This season, Quinones is back with a collection of 21 brand-newdresses—all of which infuse contemporary trends with traditional ideas. Ball gowns were plentiful this season, but unique details like puffed sleeves, three-dimensional floral embroidery, and fan-inspired accents helped modernize these more classic styles. The designer even showed off one pastel-hued look. In short, if you're on the hunt for a wedding dress that speaks to both the traditional and trendy parts of you, we think you'll find it in the Isabelle Armstrong Spring 2020 collection.
