Designer Viktor&Rolf Signature Style
Since the initial debut of Viktor&Rolf wedding gowns at New York Bridal Fashion Week in 2016, the Dutch designers have developed a bridal style best defined as avant-garde with a classic twist. While brides can expect plenty of provocative style elements found within their signature haute couture, the 'Mariage' label translates high fashion looks into approachable designs for the everyday bride. With a brand mission "to create spectacular beauty and unexpected elegance through an unconventional approach to fashion," Viktor&Rolf bridal collections often feature statement bows, oversized 3-D blooms, sleek jumpsuits, and playful, knee-length gowns.
A Brief History of Wedding Dress Designer Viktor&Rolf
Dutch designers Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren, founded Viktor&Rolf in 1993 upon graduation from the Arnhem Academy of Art and Design. It didn't take long for the duo to establish themselves within the haute couture world, making their Paris Fashion Week debut in 1998. Over the past twenty years, the luxury fashion house has continued to grow and evolve with the addition of several new labels, including the designers' bridalwear line introduced in 2016. Designed as luxury bridalwear with a fashion edge, Viktor&Rolf wedding dresses 2020 are priced between $3,000 and $6,500, and are sure to include many statement-making pieces.

The Viktor&Rolf brand is also highly regarded within the fragrance industry thanks to its signature Flowerbomb, Spicebomb, and Bonbon scents.

This dress solidified their status among the most celebrated designers in the world and is recognized as an icon of royal wedding fashion to this day.
