Below, you’ll find the 10 bestselling bridal designers on our Wedding Dress Marketplace. So, if you have one of these in the closet, there’s a good chance you can make a present bride-to-be’s dreams come true.
#1. Maggie Sottero
For years, Maggie Sottero has maintained a top spot on the wedding dress designer lists. She ignites the runways and bridal boutiques with the perfectly balanced mixes of traditional, destination, bohemian-inspired, sultry, and modern.
Within her lines, there is something for every kind of bride. From intricate beadwork to lace fabrics to versatile silhouettes for every body, you can always find a gown within her collections. Its her versatility and breadth of style that has made her a favorite of brides all over the world.
#2. Allure Bridals
Allure Bridals is a brand with flexibility and poise. There are several collections to become inspired by, including Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings.
With traditional silhouettes and some out-of-the-box and on-trend designs, Allure has become a true bridal fashion icon. They have it all covered from the ultra-glam to the most sophisticated styles.
Refreshingly, brides can enjoy haute style without the “haute” price tag, especially when shopping PreOwned. We have many examples of Allure dresses listed for $2,500 or less.
#3. BHLDN
We have always been fans of BHLDN and it’s no surprise that a BHLDN gown makes the bestselling cut on the wedding marketplace floor.
There’s so much to explore within this space; most of it has endless bouts of femininity and boho spirits. We especially like the choice use of lace and sheer fabrics as accents, in addition to the variety of back and necklines available.
If you love Anthropologie vibes, you will love this bridal line and everything their carefree and affordable feels have to offer.
#4. Essense of Australia
There is something so regal and luxurious about Essence of Australia, and we are here for it (and so are many other brides if the brand’s growing popularity is any indication!).
Surfing nearly all of the top wedding dress designer lists for the past several years, this collection is exceptional in detail, quality, and prices. The silhouettes can be unexpected yet bold, and the showstopping features are made for memory-making.
Our marketplace has dozens of EoA dresses listed, ranging from $400 to $5,000. For the savvy, style-conscious bride, Essense of Australia is a definite contender!
#5. Jenny Yoo
Simple and sophisticated, a Jenny Yoo gown is no fuss and timeless. These gowns will withstand the ages and are easily personalized to the bride and the event itself.
The idea behind the designs is that they are to be used not only once but over the course of a lifetime – which is a beautiful sentiment and one that fits well with the upcycling and borrowing theme of our marketplace. In this respect, many brides find Jenny Yoo’s designs quite understated from a wedding dress perspective, and very rewearable for the same reason.
#6. Pronovias
A leader of the bridal world and sister to the likes of Vera Wang, the Barcelona based Pronovias brand is a worldwide favorite. If you love powerful designs with unique, breathtaking lace patterns and intricacies, you’ll want to take some second looks at their gowns. Classy, sophisticated, and one-of-a-kind styles, Pronovias has various collections and designers showing up to make a beautiful, memorable aisle-centric scene.
We have dozens of Pronovias dresses listed on our marketplace, with asking prices ranging from $500 to $7,000 or more, including some of Pronovias’ most popular style (such as the Yalim and Edith). As much a statement as they are a wedding dress, we think that this in-demand brand is definitely worth your eye!
#7. Stella York
Stella York has become a wedding fashion staple, reigning supreme for brides who love mixing style genres.
A bit bohemian at times, other times simplistic, and then just sheer femininity and fairy-tale, this brand holds everything in the palm of their hands and the stitches they sew.
The best part is that Stella York is one of the most affordable and reasonably priced of the bunch, with gorgeous examples listed on our marketplace for as low as $200!
#8. David’s Bridal
David’s Bridal is another staple of the bridal industry and that’s because of the accessibility and its play on the traditional. Brides love a David’s design for the price tag, ease of the search, and the sizing – which is truer than most bridal gown charts and versatile. They will also fall into those fun trends, so you may just find a colorful silhouette or a beaded beauty from this brand.
#9. Monique Lhullier
One of the more luxurious of bridal designers and a name recognized not only throughout the bridal industry, but also as a leader in the fashion world, Monique Lhullier loves drama and unique styling. Everything from made-to-order designs to off-the-runway looks to ready-to-wear pieces, there is so much to sift through and become inspired by. This is the designer who will turn you into a couture bride.
Monique Lhullier gowns are very much in demand and often command a premium compared to other bridal brands. We have dozens of examples listed on our marketplace, with pricing ranging from $250 to as high as $16,000.
#10. Wtoo
Part of the Watters brand, WToo made its debut several years back alongside its mother name. They have been giving brides the most beautiful versions of the trendiest of wedding trends and doing an incredible job while keeping it all budget-friendly.
Brides of various style genres will be happy scouring their collections because they can play to so many comfort zones from classic princess gowns to more conservative shapes.
While perhaps a bit less known some more famous brands listed here, brides-to-be shouldn’t sleep on Wtoo – our PreOwned marketplace has dozens of examples listed, ranging from $200 to $1,500. Their styles offer a rare blend of swoon-worthy good looks and an affordable price point.
