Find A Stunning American Made Wedding Dress

It's easy to assume the most beautiful and well-made wedding dresses are made in cities like Paris, but we're here to dispel that myth once and for all.

The best designers with mile-long degrees (and veils and trains) make their gowns right here in America. While some of their fabrics, embroidery, and lace might be globally sourced, these designers choose only the best details and then make their gowns here in the USA.

You're also supporting our American economy
