When it comes to wedding dresses, Arab designers are masters. The likes of Elie Saab and Zuhair Murad have set the bar internationally, dressing up celebrities like Rose Leslie and Sofia Vergara for their big day.
With their immaculate draping and fascinating embroidery techniques, they’re worth the hype. But not everyone is game for dreamy princess ball gowns or romantic sheath dresses with long trains. In this day and age, non-traditional design is on the rise—and we’re here to celebrate it.
Whether you’re looking for something as unusual as Karl Lagerfeld’s Chanel SS19 swimsuit wedding dress or Viktor & Rolf’s quilted heart-pockets robe, we rounded up six prefect dresses from Arab designers for an unconventional bridal look.
