Amidst the majestic backdrop of the Althoff Grandhotel Schloss Bensberg, Maggie Sottero Designs and Lark Bridal Ltd. unveiled their much-anticipated Fall 2025 Collections at an exclusive European Gala Event.
In an exclusive event in March, Maggie Sottero Designs and Lark Bridal invited bridal retailers from across Europe and the Middle East to see the latest Maggie Sottero, Sottero & Midgley and Rebecca Ingram collections firsthand, combining an evening of celebration of partnerships and bridal fashion.
In a welcoming atmosphere, guests were greeted with champagne and invited to explore a full gown gallery, allowing bridal retailers to admire the intricate details and distinctive features that embody each gown’s unique design and style.
Bridal Times had the great opportunity to attend the event and gain insights into the trends and collection highlights that are set to define the upcoming bridal season.
Maggie Sottero
The Maggie Sottero Fall 2025 Collection draws inspiration from the interplay of light and the warm radiance of the golden hour, showcasing a continuation of the beloved clean, sleek designs of satin, mikado, and crepe fabrics. Satins reflect a soft luminous sheen, mikado’s structured surface catches the light with a regal glow, and crepe’s matte finish absorbs and diffuses light for a sophisticated, modern effect.
Ethereal, garden-inspired laces with a captivating 3D effect adorn this collection, complemented by intricate pearl beading on minimalist designs, resulting in a look that embodies both luxury and effortless elegance.
Modern scoop and cat-eye necklines take center stage, offering a chic yet timeless aesthetic. Brides will also appreciate the practicality of extra-deep pockets, perfect for carrying personal essentials. Notably, for gowns starting at size 44 EU, the bust size and boning are automatically adjusted at no extra charge, ensuring an impeccable fit and superior comfort for brides of all sizes.
