Oscar de la Renta- Bridal 2013

Words from

Oscar de la Renta

To achieve legendary status in the bridal industry, a designer must know how to make women look -- and feel -- nothing short of stunning. The following tastemakers excel at just that. Their dresses consistently stand out from the crowd, and are worn by royals and regular girls alike. Meet their latest masterpieces.
Talk about bright beginnings: An apprenticeship with famed couturier Cristobal Balenciaga paved the way for de la Renta's debut collection in 1965. Since then, his own artistic genius and modern ingenuity (the brand's Twitter account has more than 72,000 followers) have helped him build a fashion empire. The Dominican Republic native added wedding dresses to his repertoire in 2006, and they've already been worn by thousands of brides, including Katherine Heigl and Jenna Bush.
Signature Style: "The dresses I make are for the most extraordinary day of a woman's life," says de la Renta, who is known for his use of rich ornamentation and curve-hugging shapes. "For that reason, everything is very feminine."
Words of Wisdom: Try on as many dresses as you can, and don't limit yourself to one silhouette: "Never before have there been so many options!" he says. "To me, that's inspiring."
