OUR STORY · EST. 2011
Made with Love.
Designed for You.
We are a small, family-run Irish bridal design house where Edwina designs the most magnificent wedding dresses renowned for their exceptional comfort and quality.
THE DESIGNER · THE BURREN, CO. CLARE
Born to Create
Established in 2011, Edwina O'Gorman is Ireland's best loved bridal designer. She lives on the west coast of Ireland — the Atlantic at her doorstep, where the kind of ancient, untamed beauty finds its way into everything she designs.
Every gown begins here: drawn from this extraordinary place, and ends with you on your wedding day.
“There is nothing beautiful about a piece of art if another living being has suffered in its creation.”
HOW YOU ORDER
Two Ways to Yours
Every gown is made-to-order — so each dress is individually created for one bride alone.
IN THE SALON: Visit our Dublin salon for a private one-to-one appointment with the designer and choose your gown, made to your measurements. Custom options are also available. And yes, you are welcome to bring along up to three guests. If for any reason you would like to bring more, please contact us first.
FROM ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD: Prefer to order remotely? Order directly from us and we can make your gown to measure — simply take your measurements and get in touch. Or, if you prefer, choose a set UK size through one of our stockists.
STRICTLY VEGAN
Kindness Through Every Stitch
Every Edwina O' Gorman gown is strictly vegan, ethical and cruelty-free. We use only luxurious fabrics never derived from animals — and there is never any compromise in quality or comfort. It is a promise borne of a love for animals and a deep reverence for nature.
OUR SUSTAINABILITY PROMISE
We Are Not Perfect. But We Never Stop Trying.
We are always striving to improve and make our footprint lighter. We will never be perfect — but we are always honest, always improving, and always trying to do our best..
Sustainable packaging. We use reused or recycled boxes made from recycled cardboard to ship our gowns.
Recycled ribbons. The ribbons we use with our tags are made from recycled plastics.
Vegetable ink printing. Our printed compliment slips are produced using sustainable, non-toxic vegetable inks.
FSC approved paper. All of our printing uses FSC-approved paper — responsibly sourced.
Money to good causes. A percentage goes to conservation, animal rescue and habitat protection projects.
ONE GOWN, ONE NATIVE TREE
The Forest of Love
For every gown we make for our brides, we plant a native Irish tree in your honour — a living, breathing piece of Ireland, rooted in the same land that shapes every design. Your tree will grow through generations, standing long after the wedding day has become a cherished memory.
One tree per gown. Oak, ash, birch, hazel, rowan, you name it. When you buy it, we plant it.
We primarily focus on native Irish species. The species that once defined this landscape — and hopefully will again.
A living legacy. Sheltering wildlife and cleaning the air, for generations to come.
Conservation donations. Afforestation, habitat protection and species conservation.
