From idea to reality – Valerie designed her own wedding dress

As a designer and fashion icon, Valerie wanted to create her own wedding dress. The result was a unique, elegant and personally inspired dress.

Valerie Aflalo explains that she wanted a modern wedding dress that felt both festive and elegant. Inspired by Kate Moss’s wedding, she created a long, slim-fitting dress with a plunging neckline and long sleeves. The dress was embellished with embroidery, pearls and Swarovski crystals.

“I wanted something that felt accessible, lovely and a bit sexy too,” says Valerie.

The wedding dress was designed with both the reception and the ceremony in mind – and went on to become a style that proved popular with other brides. Valerie also explains that she still keeps the dress in a lovely box, as a reminder of that special day and her work as a designer.
