European wedding gowns

We sell the best designer European wedding gowns through our stores in Johannesburg and Pretoria. To give that special day in your life a little extra flair, you can browse through classical wedding dresses, modern day versions of royal styles, and other styles. You can get a glimpse into the past when customs were established for European wedding gowns, which have metamorphosed into today's interpretation of classical European bridal dresses.

It was not uncommon for the 19th century bride to wear her wedding gown for other events, thus requiring the dress to be both long-lasting and comfortable. Custom also demanded that she go to a series of bride visits. Today, the bride and groom will receive their guests' congratulations at the wedding. In the past, however, the bride also was required to visit friends and family dressed in her wedding attire. Everyone knows that walking around with a long train is cumbersome. So the train had to be removable, while the bodice would be changed to be worn during different activities.

That same Old World flair can be seen in our collections of European wedding gowns. While you may appreciate the challenges of the war years, almost 70 years ago, today you can wear something completely distinctive simply by choosing your gown at one of our boutiques which stock the full range of European bridal gowns.

Our two boutiques situated in Johannesburg and Pretoria respectively stock an extensive range of European wedding gowns reflecting style and flair of old. With the dresses come numerous accessories including the headwear. When you buy at one of our boutiques you will pretty much get everything at once, saving time and money. Simply contact us online or drop in at one of the shops for a personalized bridal wear shopping experience ensuring that you not only get the best possible dresses, but also superior service.
