Some designers you discover on Instagram. Others you finally get to meet in person. This autumn, Vanila Bridal Boutique in Dubai is delighted to welcome KATYA KATYA London for its very first presentation in the Middle East. For brides-to-be in the UAE, it is a rare chance to see, touch and try on these beautiful lace wedding dresses before anyone else in the region.
A brand born from friendship
The KATYA KATYA story began at school, where Katya Shehurina and Marina Kvasova became best friends. Life took them in different directions, but their friendship never faded. Together they founded KATYA KATYA to create something truly beautiful that reflected who they are.
Katya studied the craft of couture at ESMOD, one of the world's most respected fashion schools, and worked alongside renowned French designers before launching the label. Today, KATYA KATYA is loved for modern, feminine gowns in French and Italian lace that combine romance, versatility and comfort. The brand has dressed brides and celebrities alike, including actress Christina Hendricks, who chose a KATYA KATYA gown for her own wedding.
Made with care, made for you
Every KATYA KATYA gown is demi-couture. It is made to order in the brand's own studio and finished by hand under Katya's personal supervision. Fabrics come only from France and Italy, sourced from ethical European producers, and because each dress is made to order, nothing is wasted. The seamstresses work in excellent conditions, so your dress is as kind as it is beautiful.
Two collections to discover
Timeless Love is inspired by Victorian romance. Think delicate embroidery, graceful high necklines, soft flowing silhouettes and fitted corset gowns, all in the signature KATYA KATYA lace.
Moments of Forever is the couture collection, made for brides who love drama. Architectural silhouettes, corded lace and three-dimensional details give these gowns a bold, sculptural character. Many looks include separate or transformable pieces such as capes, tops and skirts, so you can change your look from the ceremony to the evening celebration.
A wedding dress made personal
Many KATYA KATYA designs can be adapted to suit you, from a different neckline to longer sleeves or more coverage. For brides looking for a modest wedding dress in Dubai that still feels romantic and modern, this personal approach makes all the difference.
What is a trunk show?
A trunk show is a special, limited-time event where a designer brings their collection to a boutique. You can try on gowns that are not usually in store, see the newest designs up close and order your dress directly, often with exclusive benefits. Simply put, it is the best moment to discover a new designer and say yes to your dream dress.
