After starting out as an opera singer and premed student, Giovanna Randall made her debut into the bridal fashion space by launching HONOR's bridal line in 2018. Randall, the president and head designer of the brand, named the bridal company after her sister, and it’s a tribute to fearless women from the past and present. Feminine silhouettes, intricate detailing, and extraordinary fabrics are recurring themes in her designs. Iconic celebrities, such as Kirsten Dunst, Oprah Winfrey, Taylor Swift, and Alexa Chung, have all worn gowns from HONOR.
Below, the latest collections from HONOR.
HONOR Fall/Winter 2024
HONOR’s latest bridal collection was inspired by terrariums and the "trapped, pretty things" inside of them. Inside the extensive lineup, you'll find airy, feminine details like colorful bows and lace botanicals—but the gowns aren't exclusively sugar-sweet. There are several daring minis to consider; the playful cocktail dresses paired with other pieces, like striking jackets and lace overcoats, make a major statement and are perfectly suited for bolder brides. Discover the first 15 looks of the 26-dress collection below (and head to the brand's website to check out the rest).
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.

The HONOR Spring/Summer 2024 bridal line draws inspiration from all things light. Lingerie details, foiled lace, laser-cut flowers, glass velvet, fringe, and iridescent accents come together to create bold modern designs that bring unexpected twists to the classic bridal look.
"This collection started with the idea of luminosity and electricity," shared head designer and president of HONOR Giovanna Randall. "I wanted to make effervescent pieces that felt lit from within. I played with a bit of color while continuing to explore sheerness and lingerie inspired elements."

HONOR Fall 2023
The idea for Collection V all started with the corset. “I was thinking a lot about where we are and how the corset would exist at this moment in time, the exaggeration of the female form, layering, and texture,” says Giovanna Randall, president and head designer of HONOR.
Throughout the Fall 2023 collection, delicate bows, fun patterns, and crystal embellishments decorate figure-hugging frames, voluminous ballgowns, and playful minis. Whether it’s fluffy tulle or sleek satin, every dress exudes romance and whimsy. Randall designed these ensembles with the intention of wearing them over a lace bustier to enhance the silhouette. This line also presents an abundance of accessories to pair with the getups, such as tulle bolero jackets, lace overcoats, and detachable trains.

HONOR Spring 2023
From taffeta gowns with bubble skirts to gauzy silk dresses with satin ribbon trimming, the Spring 2023 collection explores volume and romance. “This collection was about playfulness and revisiting things I admired as a girl in a grown-up way,” Randall explains. “My grandmother has these beautiful bedspreads from the ‘40s and ‘50s with delicate candle wicking, and they inspired some of the embroidery techniques in the new designs.” Puff sleeves, delicate bows, and tiered skirts give each dress a whimsical, Regency-inspired aesthetic while subtle colorful details make these gowns perfect for unconventional brides.
