Mark Ingram has long been a presence in the bridal world. He first opened his New York City bridal salon on Park Avenue back in 2002 and has helped brides from all over find their dream wedding dress from his selection of bridal couture. Now, the designer has launched his namesake collection Mark Ingram Bride.
The line is a firsthand response to gowns customers were missing the most. Ingram's approach is to create simple and delicate, yet stately and impactful designs for his brides.
Mark Ingram Bride Fall 2023
Mark Ingram Bride's Fall 2023 collection is inspired by the designer's hometown of New York. "Such architectural structures as The Guggenheim Museum, The Empire State, and Chrysler Buildings served as influence for my more tailored architectural styles. This is evident in the neckline draping, geometric paneling, and top stitched seaming incorporated in the classic styles," explained the designer.
"The more romantic and soft styles were inspired by iconic and beautiful NYC interiors such as the ceiling and molding details of the glorious Grand Central Station and the elaborate wood-carved pillars and finials of the Plaza's famed Edwardian Room and Palm Court. The chic of Park Avenue, the vibe of Tribeca, the sassiness of Harlem, and the grit of the Lower East Side... I celebrate all of it!"
