In honor of the 100th Women’s Equality on August 26, we have gathered five women-owned wedding wear brands to support now and forever. Although the wedding and fashion industries are often associated with women, a 2018 study found that only 14% of major retail brands were women‑owned. It may feel cruelly ironic to celebrate this milestone event in women’s suffrage during an election year that our current Commander in Chief is threatening to postpone, but perhaps going on a shopping spree will help us refocus, refresh, and remember to go out and vote on election day! Amsale Founder of Amsale bridal, Amsale Aberra is credited with inventing the modern wedding dress. Amsale ditched the overly dramatic gown style for her own wedding dress, which sparked the simplistic elegance her dresses are known for. Her collections exude understated glamour and feature handcrafted details, exuding modern femininity. While the gowns are on the pricey side, some over $7,000, each dress is simple in style but carries its own unique personality. To take a look at the Amsale collection, check out their website here.

While Sahroo is in touch with tradition, the brand is perfect for a Gen Z or Millennials looking for a sustainable option on their wedding day. We are totally in love with the Love Collection, particularly the Victoria Crop Top and Slim Trouser which we recommend purchasing ASAP.

Birdy Grey was founded in 2017 by best friends Grace Lee and Monica Ashauer. The company prides itself on designing gowns for bridesmaids made by former, current, and soon-to-be bridesmaids. A huge perk of this brand is that every single dress is $99 and comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Take a look through their simple and chic designs to find a look that is right for you! Also, when you are done with your gown and won’t be wearing it again, send back your Birdy Grey garments to donate to the non-profit organization The Princess Project which provides free prom dresses to teens in need.
