Bride
In Hollywood, brides keep the bouquets and throw away the groom.
A wedding dress is both an intimate and personal for a woman — it must reflect the personality and style of the bride.
A young bride is like a plucked flower; but a guilty wife is like a flower that had been walked over.
There is definitely a 'red carpet moment' to a bride's wedding day, but when designing for bridal, it is important to focus on the details that will captivate and capture the imagination of the bride — she has to fall in love with the gown.
There is such an emotional connection between the bride and her wedding dress, whereas in ready-to-wear you may just be focusing on color or prints for that particular season.
As I grew up and began identifying myself as a feminist, there were plenty of issues that continued to make me question marriage: the father 'giving' the bride away, women taking their husband's last name, the white dress, the vows promising to 'obey' the groom. And that only covers the wedding.
I want to be a simple bride when I get married. I want a beach wedding where I am running around on the sand in a white dress.
Bride: A woman with a fine prospect of happiness behind her.
