Who remembers when jaws hit the floor in 2013 during the fall bridal market? This marked the first year that Kelly Faetanini’s signature ombre styling debuted. Lighting up the runway with whimsical personality, her gown with its unforgettable purple feather skirt became an instant viral sensation. Initially, ombre was considered for the bride looking more for an alternative wedding dress, but now brides really have fun with color and the ombre option has the ability to still keep the traditional white its core.
Not all of the ombre gowns are as dramatic as that first purple feathered frock – many feature romantic and subdued hues of ivory, blush, pink, grey and blue – but with that first daring design move, a Kelly Faetanini signature look was born. Today, our ombre styles include layers of ruffles, dramatic laces and fun feather skirts. They range from romantic and flirty to fun and classic. One thing is certain – they are always distinctive.
