Winning Wedding Dress of the Year marked a magical milestone for Monica Loretti. It’s a validation of the brand’s timeless elegance and a tribute to the craftmanship and passion of their entire team. Upon reflection, the sales agent Katie Bevington shared that the award ’reinforces [their] commitment to creating wedding dresses that not only look beautiful, but make brides feel comfortable, confident and truly themselves on one of the most important days of their lives’.

The winning style, 8321, struck a chord with brides thanks to its carefully considered balance of form, fabric and functionality. The A-line skirt paired with a plunging neckline creates a ’universally flattering silhouette’, whilst the fabric adds a ’soft, romantic quality’. The brand shared that the winning style was thoughtfully constructed, ensuring brides can move freely and enjoy every moment of their wedding day, as their personality shines through effortlessly. 

With the style’s timeless elegance, Monica Loretti believe that Princess Catherine is the ultimate muse for the iconic dress. With her quiet confidence and grace, she reflects the same balance of tradition and modernity that defines the brand. 

Unsurprisingly, Katie Benvington also believes that the Wedding Dress of the Year also best captures the essence of the brand and its signature style,  with its silhouette remaining a standout across seasons, since being celebrated for its ability to flatter brides of all shapes and sizes. With the style’s adaptability, Monica Loretti’s talented dress makers can tailor every detail to the bride’s vision, from adding sleeves, to adjusting necklines and removing skirt splits, or even reimagining the gown in an alternative fabric!

Attention to detail is a cornerstone in Monica Loretti’s current collection, as the team are particularly proud of the internal construction and hand-finishing throughout. From precision draping to custom-developed fabrics from their own lace making machines and delicate beadwork, every detail is thoughtfully designed and sewn. The brand believes that these details ensure not only beauty, but comfort and confidence for the bride throughout her day - something that remains crucial in the design process of each and every Monica Loretti dress. 

When it comes to advice for brides searching for their dream dress this year, Monica Loretti keeps it simple: ’Trust how the dress makes you feel, the right dress should be an extension of you. When you find it, you’ll feel comfortable and confident. The right dress will make your eyes sparkle!’. Wise words from the award-winning brand.
