Amsale Spring 2019 Wedding Dress Collection

Amsale the fashion house (headquartered in New York, New York) began in 1985, when Ethiopian-American designer Amsale Aberra created her own wedding dress—a simple and sophisticated but undeniably memorable garment. The piece quickly garnered interest, launching her label. Though Aberra sadly passed away just before showing her new collection this season, her legacy lives on through her namesake group, which offers both wedding and bridesmaids' dresses. After all these years, it's just as elegant, and a beloved and honored staple of the bridal industry. In fact, celebrities and movie stylists alike have chosen Amsale garments. Hilaria Baldwin recently wore one for her 2017 vow renewal to Alec Baldwin, and they've appeared in wedding hits including 27 Dresses

Here, we present the most recent batch of bridal gowns from Amsale, which debuted during Bridal Fashion Week this spring. Many credit Aberra with the rise of minimalist bridal fashion, thanks to her focus on simple and modern designs. That aesthetic can be found yet again in the latest lineup. With clean, smooth silhouettes and luxe fabrics, these wedding dresses define paired-back elegance—but with a modern twist. We loved the sweet bow details that appeared on many of the gowns and were just as taken with the occassional pops of lace. As for the late designer's inspiration for her final collection, Aberra's husband and Amsale CEO Neil Brown told us that she looked towards her brides, who have always been her guide. "Every collection meant the most to Amsale," he explained at the runway show, which served as both a tribute and farewell to the designer. "She was the first to tell you that she didn't find inspiration in dew drops on a petal or something abstract. Her focus was always the bride. Her goal was always to make people feel beautiful and look beautiful."

The designer's final collection clearly executed her lifelong vision—any bride would feel beautiful and classic in one of these gowns. Click through this slideshow to find every single wedding dress from Amsale's Spring 2019 bridal collection, which is an obvious ode to Aberra's innovative excellence. If you're a contemporary bride who appreciates anything refined and beautiful, you've come to the right place.
