On your wedding day, it’s important that you and your gown stand out. Lisa Gocklin, manager of Bijou Bridal in Paramus, New Jersey explained, “Generally, if you’re in your mid to late twenties, you and your friends are going to be getting married at the same. You don’t want to all look the same.” Straying from tradition, brides are no longer limiting themselves by only requesting pure white gowns. Gocklin added, “Colors like champagne, blush, and ivory tend to look better on people as opposed to pure white.” Available in an array of different hues, designers Yearick and Makino also provide fully customizable gowns, allowing brides to mix and match bodices and skirts to fit their unique style and comfort levels. Additional features like cap sleeves and illusion necklines are special touches that give a sense of individuality to each dress.
The epitome of both style and femininity, Ysa Makino gowns play with volume and texture by incorporating details such as feathers and floral appliques and using techniques such as sculptural folding and draping. Flowing, full silk satin skirts and ornamented corsets offer a romantic and lavish style, accented by delicately embellished half sleeves and sheer backs. Added touches like gold accents and blush underlays offer a flirty and whimsical take on the traditional wedding gown. Makino dresses can be considered works of art, unapologetically leaving a lasting impression on any bride.
