The Freedom of Movement Bridal collection is here!

1. What inspired the latest bridal collection? What is the significance of the name as it relates to the garments? 

The Freedom of Movement collection was inspired by the idea of a bride feeling truly unburdened—free to move, to celebrate, and to embrace her wedding day with effortless confidence. We wanted to create gowns that don’t just look beautiful but allow brides to move with ease, whether they’re dancing at their afterparty or walking barefoot on the beach. The name reflects both the physical comfort of the designs and the emotional liberation that comes with stepping into a new chapter of life, completely unrestricted. 

2. Do you design your collections with trends in mind – if so, which trends inspired you most this time around? 

I always aim to balance timelessness with modernity, incorporating trends in a way that feels natural and enduring. For this collection, we were particularly drawn to fluid silhouettes, lightweight fabrics, and thoughtful construction that support the body without feeling restrictive. The concept of versatile styling—like detachable elements and effortless layering—also played a big role, allowing brides to personalize their look throughout the day. 

3. How would you describe the essence and aesthetic of this collection? How do you want brides to feel when they wear one of these garments? 

The essence of this collection is freedom, grace, and effortless beauty. The aesthetic is soft yet structured, romantic yet modern, with a sense of movement woven into every design. I want brides to feel completely at ease—to move, breathe, and celebrate without feeling restricted. More than just looking beautiful, they should feel confident, authentic, and fully present in every moment of their day. 

4. What advice would you give to brides when choosing the perfect gown from this collection? 

Choose a gown that allows you to move, feel, and express yourself freely. Consider how you want to feel on your wedding day—not just how you want to look. Walk around, dance, and pay attention to how the fabric moves with you. Trust your instincts, and don’t be afraid to embrace a style that reflects your personality rather than tradition. Most importantly, choose a gown that makes you feel like the best, most effortless version of yourself.

5. Do you have a personal favourite from this collection, and can you elaborate a bit on why this piece is special to you? 

We're in a season of celebrating the return to maximalism here at CD, so I just have to pick two! The Cyprus Gown holds a special place in my heart—its modern yet playful design, combined with the effortlessly comfortable A-line skirt, makes it a dream to wear. The sheer bodice details and sunray pleated tulle insets add a touch of intrigue and movement, creating a look that feels both contemporary and ethereal. For the celebration and dancing, I’d go for the Carolina Dress—she’s the fun, flirty little sister of our beloved Bae Gown from the Royal Flush collection, perfect for twirling the night away in pure joyous celebration!
