Matthew Christopher was raised on a pig farm, and his initial designs won blue ribbons at local fairs. An unlikely origin story for a bridal designer? Maybe. But his journey paid off big time! When Christopher accompanied a friend to a bridal shop while she was searching for a prom dress, he was instantly drawn to the wedding world. Starting then—while he was still in high school—he committed to pursuing a career in the bridal industry. Christopher set out to study fashion design, and the rest is history. In 2002, he founded his own label, and now has two lines: Matthew Christopher Couture and Matty. His glamorous looks have made their way to the red carpet, and actress Kaley Cuoco dons one of his gowns in the 2015 movie The Wedding Ringer.
This season, Christopher released a new collection under the Matty line. The dresses are sophisticated and definitely bridal. In the mix are trumpet styles, A-line gowns, and sheath dresses. The styles also come in popular wedding fabrics, like pretty lace and tulle, and you'll find embroidery, beading, and all the other finishings you'd expect to walk down the aisle in. One of our favorite designs is a strapless dress with boning in the bodice. We also like a simple, sleeveless option with a full skirt. To see these and more, click through our slideshow of the entire Fall 2018 Matty by Christopher Matthew wedding dress collection. This look book includes every new design from the line.
