💬 Why Representation Matters
When brides see themselves in the
process, not just in skin tone but in
cultural nuance, silhouette, language, and
fabric, they feel seen, celebrated, and
worthy.
These designers aren’t just creating
gowns. They’re creating space. Space for
ancestry. Space for joy. Space for a new
vision of forever that looks like us.
