If you haven’t heard of Rami Al Ali, it is time you did. For close to a decade, Rami Al-Ali has been making incredible ready-to-wear red-carpet garments. Five years ago, he branched into bridal.
Rami Al Ali’s bridal collection marks the third time the Dubai-based designer has presented at New York Bridal Week. For his ‘White’ bridal collection, Al Ali explores the themes of femininity and modernity, curating an exquisitely romantic narrative through his unique 12-piece collection.
“This is a third time presenting at New York Bridal Week and each time we have presented we’ve received very positive reviews and feedback. We tend to blend classic, timeless bridal silhouettes with a hint of modern sensibilities,” says Rami Al Ali. “We also wanted to introduce our premium luxury level to the bridal ready-to-wear market.
Establishing a collection for the modern-day bride, Rami Al Ali uses his renowned aesthetic to effortlessly deconstruct traditional looks and reimagine them with a new vision. A fresh and youthful nature personifies the collection with beautifully prevailing shapes and flowing lines that are built upon the fashion house’s prominent design codes. Traditional, princess-style gowns and voluminous full skirts are met with structured bodices, while elaborate architectural detailing is perfectly distinguished against sleek and sensual silhouettes, adding a majestic touch of contemporary femininity, and designed to echo the sentiment of a once-in-a-lifetime occasion.
Al-Ali’s inspiration for his spring 2024 ‘White’ collection was a modern, sexy twist on traditional classics. “I didn’t want to reinvent the wheel because this bridal collection still has some traditional elements. We know that some of our consumers are younger, they want to show some skin. [Our younger consumer] is changing three or four times, so we wanted something signature along the contemporary route. In this collection we also employ some modern techniques as well as some architectural shapes” explained Rami Al Ali.

Beautiful fabrics and exquisite finishing are elevated further by the unwavering passion and uncompromising mastery of the atelier. Al Ali’s unparalleled knowledge of fabrics is showcased through the use of delicate French laces, sumptuous silks, and whimsical tulle and organza, perfectly fueling the dreamlike fantasy that can be felt throughout the collection. Handcrafted Swarovski crystal embroideries are coupled with sophisticated beadwork, offering each look the same level of focus with detailed handwork to echo the hallmarks of a signature couture design.
The timeless color palette remains true to its bridal form, and resonates elegant shades of white and pearl, with thoughtful touches of silver hues in between. The fashion house has once again skillfully created a collection with elegance, and classicism, with a modern-day edge, allowing the Rami Al Ali bride to fully express herself while opting for designs that stand the test of time.
