As the bridal world struggles to find that spark of ‘eternal love’ on the big day, Rami Al Ali launches a timeless Bridal Couture 2022 collection that embodies an ecstatic vision combining beauty and unparalleled elegance with hints of modernism. As seven creations dazzle in the spotlight of this collection, Al Ali reiterates the symbolic meaning of couture in this line that it must be cherished forever. The contemporary Bridal gowns envisioned by the designer redefine modern romance and the bounds of artistry with their sensual allure and incomparable beauty. In striking contrast to the designer’s 2021 Bridal Couture, his new collection journeys into enhancing old-time silhouettes. “It’s an evaluation of the past collection. We mastered certain techniques and gave stronger results,” says Al Ali. “Our structured architected shapes are lighter, more in control, and practical. Our embroidery follows classic methods but with a new modern spirit. Silhouettes are Victorian, decadent, rich but more relevant to today’s style and taste.”

As silks, satins, and tulles ruffle in the designer’s creative midst, classic embroidery harmonizes with old-school glamour as the liberating pieces gracefully highlight modern-day sophistication. “Brides are moving a bit from big rich voluminous gowns to either minimal or structural shapes, more geometric graphical embroidery motifs,” he continues.

An inspiring, dream-like aura persists throughout the collection of princess-cut gowns and feather-layered skirts in bold white and ivory colors. “I think brides are now a bit bolder when it comes to the choice of color, not just the design,” says Al Ali. “They want something that looks more vintage and mysterious, yet many brides still prefer the classic shades of light off-white.” All the individualistic gowns feature structured bodices with beads and embroidery embedded in the artistic creations. One gown that notably stands out in the collection is the voluminous satin gown with a corset-like bodice and sculptural off-the-shoulder sleeves – a contrast between whimsical fantasies and modern-day beauty coming together in a dramatic silhouette of vintage glamour. The veil paves way for an unparallel elegance with lace embroidery as it scrapes the floor with a princess-like allure. Another romantic creation is the strapless satin gown with gorgeous silver embellishments glittering subtly for that old-school allure. As Rami Al Ali launches these timeless romantic pieces, the designer paves way for the rebirth of romance and elegance in weddings reiterating a new era for Bridal Couture that once stood unhinging.

This time, the designer explores his unrivaled knowledge of fabrics and illustrations as the gowns encompass ostrich feathers, delicate beading, and floral appliqué designs. The strapless gown featuring ostrich feathered sleeves is the very picture of effortless beauty in dramatic patterns and theatrical silhouettes for the brides seeking an extravagant entrance.

As Rami Al Ali conquers the subtle art of persevering through the unsettling waters of the fashion world, his creative vision and unique craftsmanship undoubtedly eternalize his work – a monumental landmark in couture. Steering away from conventional notions of beauty while preserving an unparalleled sense of elegance in his hand-stitched couture collections, Al Ali has successfully garnered attention on national and international fashion forums as he breaks boundaries with distinctive designs. As the designer reiterates his passions, he recollects a motto that he carried forth into his creative work. “My professor at art college told me to never be fully content and stuck in one perspective,” he says. “I think it’s the epitome of the fashion design ethos.”

As the enthralling designer carries forth his life passions of supporting women in the line of work while dedicating his purpose to empowering art, he rises amidst the challenges of the pandemic that halted all celebrations – now envisioning a brighter future replete with exquisite bridal couture wear for women. “This is our first Bridal Couture after the pandemic,” says the designer. “We wanted to present what brides are looking for now, something grand, creative, different, and happy – something that says I have been waiting two years to do this.”
