Janice Martin has created countless looks for nontraditional brides who want unique silhouettes, bold color palettes or custom details. Nontraditional brides are quickly frustrated by off-the-rack gowns that do not fulfill their vision for their wedding day.

Two Brides in Couture Ensembles

Ann wore a slacks suit made of silk shantung in a bright color palette of yellow and green. Ellen wore a bright fuchsia dress with finishing that subtly resembles an ice skating dress.

The dress features a tea-length, voluminous skirt with a halter-style bodice. The gown was constructed in just a week and features amazing couture details including seaming on the bodice and tuxedo buttons on the back.

Lace Top & Short Skirt Wedding Ensemble
