A tenth anniversary is a significant marker at any time in one’s life. For bridal designer Kelly Faetanini, the tenth anniversary of her namesake bridal brand represents a decade of beautiful bridal gowns that appeals to that bridal consumer who is attracted to Faetanini’s interpretation of femininity, glamour, and beauty.
This fall 2023 collection is no exception to Faetanini’s bridal aesthetic. Inspired by the character of Carrie Bradshaw from the iconic television seried “Sex and the City,” Faetanini created timeless classics that would appeal to wide range of bridal consumers.
“This season, I found inspiration in the character of Carrie Bradshaw and her fearless and timeless fashion choices. This collection continues to present our brides with options for exactly how styled, dramatic, and fashion-forward they want to be with detachable trains, oversized bows, and optional sleeves. I had a lot of fun working with draping techniques that create exaggerated accents that are playful and feminine. We also have some Carrie-worthy texture and color, including black, blush, and feathers. I am excited to share this collection with you as we commemorate a decade of bridal fashion from the Kelly Faetanini brand,’ detailed Faetanini.
This tenth anniversary also marked the opening of Faetanini’s exquisite bridal boutique in the Soho district of New York City. The bridal boutique is nicely appointed with a comfortable, luxurious lounge appropriate for any bride and her friends and family.
