As a wedding stylist and a self-proclaimed lover of fashion, Dora Maar has quickly become my go-to place for scoring that dress that earns you the ‘OMG dress details?!’ on your latest Instagram post.
While owning a West Village one-bedroom apartment comes with its perks, a large closet is definitely not one of them. I turn to resale for my solution and always encourage my brides to do the same. Not only do we love the sustainability factor but Dora Maar’s curated assortment allows you to don a dress that no one else has seen. We get a peek into the most coveted closets that saves you from the endless e-commerce scroll.
I have taken on the arduous task of styling the most perfect wedding looks for all my fellow Muses. Whether it be your upcoming nuptials or one of the many wedding events on your calendar, these looks guarantee a novel silhouette.

Rehearsed and Ready
I am a firm believer that a bride doesn’t have to boast all-white to be the belle of the ball. I always tell my clients to focus on how they feel in an outfit rather than the conventional dictations society will make about the event itself. Maybe I’m biased because I wore a slightly less traditional ‘bridal’ dress for my own rehearsal dinner. I went to the Markarian showroom looking to try on something entirely different but when I put this gown on, I knew I had to have it.
Whether it’s a green floral dress or a white suit, you look your best when you feel your best. With these showstoppers, your nearest and dearest will have no issue identifying the bride.

That being said, you are only the bride once (hopefully)! So lean into alllll the white if that is what you love. Timeless and classic white never goes out of style. If you opt for a more simple dress design, you can always add unique accessories to give it additional flair.

Nothing wrong with an outfit change (or three)! The custom Markarian is still bridal, but the white sequins and rhinestone straps make it perfect for dancing until dawn.
