Brides can expect simple yet sophisticated designs from designer Rita Vinieris, who has two brands: Rivini and Alyne by Rita Vinieris. The daughter of Greek immigrants, Vinieris studied fashion at the International Academy of Design before stepping into bridal as an in-house designer at a boutique in Toronto. She launched her first collection, under the name Rivini, in 1995 and began selling gowns in the United States in 2014. Her designs emulate an understated elegance that celebrates both the craftsmanship of each garment, as well as the woman wearing it.
Below, the latest collections from Alyne by Rita Vinieris.
Alyne by Rita Vinieris Fall/Winter 2024
This brand's fall/winter 2024 bridal collection embraces "ethereal chaos," the company shared in a press release. To that effect, these dresses play with contrast, so brides can make an unforgettable statement on their big day; they pair soft and structured fabrics (like corded lace and tulle) and make good use of negative space (you'll find lots of detachable sleeves and cut-outs in this series). The gowns' fabrication is unparalleled: You'll find intricate floral laces, flowing satin, and fluid draping—all of which were combined "to create a dream-like and ethereal effect, while draped and ruffled details add a sense of movement and chaos." You'll be as captivated by this collection as we are, so go ahead and explore all 12 looks below.
As it is our absolute commitment that all brides see themselves in our coverage, our editorial team has worked with the brand to confirm that this collection meets the standards outlined in our diversity pledge.

This season is about lush layered textures and fluid architecture merging together in perfect harmony." - Rita Vinieris
