Bridal Babes Expect To See More Of This Label
Belle Bridal – the region’s largest wedding magazine – has always been, and always will be, at the forefront of bridal fashion. Celebrating both the iconic and new shining stars of bridal design, we curate a pretty presentation of gowns for all brides, no matter their shape, size, taste, or budget.
A bridal label we’re completely obsessed with at the moment is Catriona Garforth. Avid readers will have already spotted designs from this award-winning designer in the brand new issue of Belle Bridal Magazine, (and aren’t they pretty amazing?!)
Located in Edinburgh, Scotland, Catriona Garforth is a bridal design house that creates forward-thinking designs for the modern bride.
Figure hugging silhouettes are formed using soft flowing fabrics and intricate laces. Inspired by vintage pieces and 20s design all patterns are handcrafted and all pieces are handmade at her studio in the heart of Edinburgh.
Following the ethos 'life is too short to dress dull,' designer, Catriona, believes you should dress for who you are, not as what others expect you to be.
It’s not just us who LOVE this label, but our brides do too. “I was lucky enough to get a designer appointment at Catriona Garforth in Edinburgh and from start to finish the experience was so exciting. I could not have been happier with my dress.” – Susanne Salavati.
We're thrilled to be working closely with this designer for our upcoming S/S19 issue and brides expect BIG things. We don't want to spoil anything BUT Catriona Garforth is launching something pretty epic and we're super excited to bring it to our Northern brides first. So, watch this space and wait for our new issue to drop!
To see more of Catriona’s designs and her latest collections, visit www.catrionagarforth.com, or take a look at the exclusive shoot with Belle Bridal Magazine in our brand new issue.
