bridal couture

Designer wedding dresses

Bridal couture refers to high-end, custom-made wedding gowns designed and fitted specifically for the bride.

Unlike ready-to-wear bridal dresses, couture pieces involve extensive handwork, luxurious fabrics, and multiple fittings: She commissioned her gown from a bridal couture house in Paris.

The term signals exclusivity and craftsmanship beyond standard wedding attire.
