In our previous article The Ultimate Guide Of The Best Wedding Dress Designers, we’ve already written about the world's best bridal couture designers for the wedding. We mentioned many world-known brands, including Vera Wang, Monique Lhuillier, Amsale, BHLDN, and others.

In this article, we will talk about top wedding dress designers in the USA that are worth your attention.

Naeem Khan

Naeem Khan is known for elegant dresses with complicated details. Each collection by this designer contrasts the usual white dresses with new trends. The gowns always look expensive because they're embroidered with sequins, lace, and embroidery in pale tones. If the material is simple, then the design must have a detail, for example, a brocade or a cape.

Anne Barge's gowns suit the preferences of every woman so that you could easily select your own dress among the most stylish attires of the season. Usually, the dresses are quite restrained and the A-silhouette prevails. You can find lush skirts embellished with ruffles, and satin gowns with long trains. Each of Anna's outfits is distinguished by expensive materials and concentration on components. Sometimes it's hard to notice light embroidery or unusual laces on fabric. This brand is one of the most popular bridal designers for 20 years.

The designer created unique wedding dresses for many Hollywood stars, including Katherine Heigl and Nikki Reed. These gowns are noticeably different from others, so those who want to look different must pay attention to this brand. The parts of the collection are radically different: from a simple white suit created of smooth textile to an exquisitely decorated dress with lush curled sleeves reaching the bottom.

Danielle Frankel

You certainly can't find more aristocratic dresses than in Frankel's collections. Each dress resembles a real work of art. That's why you feel almost the same as in a museum visiting their website. A whole story is displayed on a long white or cream fabric. There are many accent decorations, lace, embroidery, and swirls of fabric. This designer is not afraid to go out of step with trends creating the golden classic that catches the eye. He still uses pearls on belts or corsets over a linen cut. In these dresses, he mixes all the best that designers have seen in gowns for the last 150 years.

Also, such dresses are luxurious in the photo at weddings in white and pale green tones. Petite embroidery, laser-cut in satin, and organza strewed in the collection, adding dimension and playful touch.

95% of the attires of this brand are colored with sequins, other sparkles, and very massive lace of non-white shades. It's noticeable that the decor on each dress plays a key role. For certain creators, the decor is created to complete a general picture, but here the layout of the attire is this accent that attracts attention. The dresses aren't tight, lush, or royal. Each of these gowns is excellent for an elegant celebration or even for another special event. As for colors, you can find white, cream, gray, pink, and even mocha-colored wedding attires in one collection, like in any other best bridal shops in the United States.

This studio was started by a group of women who believe in beauty. This boutique doesn't charge any extra for sizing up or down. They believe a woman should feel inspired and confident in any size from 00 to 30. Dresses from these collections look familiar and simple, but no less stylish. A large selection allows you to choose something special for every bride, and the price even for the most magnificent dress won't reach more than $5000.

To choose your designer, you need to look at many web pages of the best bridal shops in the US, and even more to try on in person. Sometimes what you like won't fit well on your figure. Practically search for your dress in all wedding dress studios in your city, and when your heart beats faster, buy it! Also, remember that it takes up to 4 months to make a dress, so you should start your search at least six months in advance. Look also for bridal jewelry and make-up must-haves for your big day!
