Look glamourous and feel fierce for your wedding day! The dress above was recently featured at Christian Siriano’s fashion show during New York fashion week . . . and I must say that it is the perfect combination of fashion forward femininity, unconventional colour, poise, and fearless confidence.

Every bride should feel their most fabulous for their wedding day, so don’t feel restricted by conventional wedding gown styles. With Christiano Siriano’s touch of couture on wedding gowns, his dresses (and pant suits) definitely help to break down the boundaries of wedding fashion for females!

“Something Old, Something New,
Something Borrowed, Something Blue,
and a Silver Sixpence in Her Shoe.”

The quote above is familiar, and full of history. Britain’s silver sixpence was in circulation from 1551 to 1967. The tradition of incorporating these elements into the bride’s wedding dress and accessories likely became popular during the Victorian era (Approx. 1837-1900).

Inspired by this wedding ritual, Malene Grotrian Design helps brides to restore their mother’s or grandmothers wedding dress and turn it into a modern couture wedding for the new bride-to-be. Each vintage dress is altered to each bride’s exact desires to create the wedding dress they’ve always dreamed of. Malene has brought a fresh and new approach to a beautiful tradition.

Not only are Malene Grotrian’s brides walking towards their groom wearing the gown of their dreams; they also have something that is both old and new - a wedding dress that is truly special. The beauty of Malene’s art is that the special memories of the past and present will carry on for another lifetime through each wedding.
