G.Westerleigh: The Future of Bridal Accessories
In an interview with G. Westerleigh CEO, Éva Váradiné-Tamás, we learn more about the brand, latest bridal shoe trends and what lies ahead for the company.
G.Westerleigh has become a renowned name in bridal accessories across Europe. Can you tell us about the brand’s origins and journey so far?
Absolutely! G.Westerleigh was founded with a vision to provide brides with elegant, high-quality accessories that perfectly complement their special day. Over the years, we have grown into a trusted brand across Europe, known for our timeless designs and impeccable craftsmanship.
Innovation plays a crucial role in the fashion industry. How does G.Westerleigh stay ahead?
We are constantly researching new materials and techniques to enhance both aesthetics and comfort. Our bridal shoes, for example, feature memory foam insoles for all-day wearability, and we incorporate delicate handcrafted details to ensure exclusivity. We also listen closely to feedback from brides and retailers, allowing us to refine our designs season after season.
Bridal shoe trends are always evolving. What styles are most in demand right now?
Right now, we see a strong demand for modern yet romantic designs. Low and block heels are trending as brides prioritize comfort without sacrificing elegance. Satin, lace, and pearl embellishments remain classic choices, while minimalist and sleek styles are gaining popularity, especially for civil ceremonies and second looks.
Can you give us a glimpse of your upcoming collection?
Our new collection embraces a mix of tradition and contemporary trends. Expect to see refined details like intricate embroidery, shimmering accents, and luxurious textures. We are also expanding our range of versatile accessories, including bridal jewelry and hairpieces, to offer a complete look for every bride. We introduced the ceramic style bridal hair accessories to our collection and blush colored bridal shoes also. In the next year collection we will produce champagne color shoes also because we saw that these colors are very popular in the new bridal trends.
G.Westerleigh is known for its premium materials and craftsmanship. What makes your accessories stand out?
Quality is at the heart of everything we do. We use AAA-grade Cubic Zirconia, freshwater pearls, and rhodium plating in our jewelry, ensuring long-lasting elegance. Our bridal shoes are exclusively handmade, featuring premium quality fabrics, lace, crystals, and pearls. Every piece is designed to provide both beauty and comfort, making brides feel special on their big day.
The brand has expanded its range significantly over the years. How diverse is the G.Westerleigh collection today?
Our collection has grown beyond bridal shoes and jewelry to include a wide variety of accessories. We offer around 300 different jewelry and hair accessory designs and over 100 cufflink designs. Our goal is to provide a complete selection of accessories so that every bride and groom can find the perfect finishing touches for their wedding look.
G.Westerleigh is present in 26 countries with more than 300 stockists. How do you maintain such a strong presence in the bridal market?
We are committed to quality and customer service. By working closely with our stockists, we ensure they have access to the latest trends and the highest-quality products. We also continuously expand our distribution network, making G.Westerleigh accessories accessible to brides all over Europe. Furthermore, we organize bridal campaign photoshoots and video productions every year, sharing the materials with our partners to support them in their marketing efforts.
What are G.Westerleigh’s major goals for this year?
2025 is an exciting year for us! We are expanding our presence in new markets and strengthening our online platforms to make our collections more accessible worldwide. Additionally, our jewelry now comes in stunning new packaging that reflects the exclusivity and sophistication of our designs, ensuring that every detail, from the piece itself to its presentation, exudes elegance..
