"Transforming brides"

"We were going to get married in 2020, but we postponed to 2021, and now, to be safer, we will celebrate the wedding in 2022."

"We decided to have an intimate wedding with the people closest and most important to us."

"We will get married this year civilly to keep moving forward, but we are preparing the best for next year's ceremony."

These are some of the phrases I've been hearing lately. What do they have in common? They all come from brides who, along with their partners, have been surfing this pandemic, have known how to adapt, and have preserved what is most important: love and their life project. What happens while everything changes is transformation, and that comes from within.

Some have gained patience, others who were undecided finally dared and saw the positive side of getting married now. Some got more creative, others valued what was most important. Each case is worthy of admiration.

I am a fan of all the brides who come to my door looking for their bridal look. They are women who are not afraid to fall in love, capable of inspiring another person to commit and want to spend their life with them. They are capable of adding texture, scent, and even flavor to the perfect moment—that's how projects are built.

Inspired by these women, their strength and courage, I have also dared to commit to my love for my work and create a collection for them: "Transforming Brides." Check out the looks in this video:

This series of looks is actually made up of separate pieces that, when combined, create different styles. They offer the advantage of adapting to each stage of the wedding process, avoid double investments when civil and religious ceremonies are separate, and, of course, bring a cutting-edge feel to what is expected. For more eco-conscious brides and "use and reuse" lovers, each garment can be worn again by combining it with other items from their wardrobe.

The "sugar bride" style is for the sweet yet disruptive bride. The main piece is a hard-cup bustier with glitter tulle transparency and applied embroidery. The sleeves can also be removed. The more classic and sensual bride can combine it with a trumpet skirt in crepe. The avant-garde bride will wear the pants with the overskirt. And the fun-loving beach bride could just wear the shorts at midnight or for her after-party.

"Short long dream" is the look for the romantic yet practical fiancée, a master of time management. An embroidered asymmetric short dress, with the magic of buttons on the back and a puff sleeve, can be completely transformed by adding various skirts. Thus, the mini dress for the civil ceremony can appear with an A-line satin skirt, a princess style for a super elegant wedding. The more ethereal bride will surely be attracted to the tulle overskirt, and the freest and lightest will love the movement and drape of the georgette chiffon on her legs.

The "pearls rain" look speaks of the abundance of simplicity; after the rain, comes the harvest. This is a minimalist and tasteful bride who knows how to appreciate when less is more. The main piece is a halter bodysuit with georgette covered in pearls. The pants are for the more practical bride, with the tulle overskirt for the dreamer, or the shorts with transparency over them for the one who wants to show off her legs and stay cooler for a beach wedding. To accentuate a beautiful figure, it can be paired with a trumpet or mermaid skirt. The surprise lies in an open back.

This doesn't mean we will stop custom designing; quite the opposite, we can start with these pieces to also customize, but here we offer you an option to better materialize what you want.

Brides are changing, and at Débh Herrera, we will be happy to be an option for your transformation and thus evolve hand in hand.
