We’re a collective of forward-thinking bridal designers creating a new kind of market—one that champions visibility, sparks innovation, and celebrates the trendsetters shaping what comes next. This idea was born out of shared frustration: designers scattered across the city, showing in different locations and at different times, often feeling isolated and unsupported. Traditional markets cater to luxury showrooms and big-box brands, leaving independent designers—the ones driving the most creativity and trend—without a space that fits our unique needs. We craved connection. We craved community.

 

So Ramona Southard of Love & Lace in Southern California, and designer Tara LaTour teamed up to build something better. Our market offers a familiar format but with a refreshed, more thoughtful approach—one that makes navigation easier, buying calmer, and discovery more intentional. Retailers get the time and space to explore new brands, while designers finally get a setting that is specifically designed for us. Through our shared showcase and industry summit, we bring designers and retailers together to network, brainstorm, share real experiences, and collaborate on smarter, more creative solutions to the challenges we all face. It’s market, reimagined for the independent bridal community. It’s market, done differently with a bolder approach and with a common desire to make a splash while making a difference.
