About Us

 

Hi, I’m Michelle — founder of Ivory & White, and once a bride who got it wrong.

On my wedding day, I wore the big, traditional gown. It was beautiful, sure. But the second the aisle was over and the party started? I couldn’t dance in it. I couldn’t breathe in it. I didn’t feel like me anymore.

I spent my own reception tugging, adjusting, and wishing I had a dress that actually let me celebrate. That moment stuck with me. Why should brides have to choose between looking incredible and enjoying the night?

So I started Ivory & White — for the brides who want both. Dresses that look breathtaking, but also let you move, laugh, eat, dance barefoot, spill champagne, hug too hard, and live every second without holding back.

This isn’t about gowns that sit pretty for photos, because duh of course ours do. It’s about creating dresses for the part of your wedding you’ll never forget — the chaos, the joy, the freedom.

And that photo at the bottom? That’s me, mid-reception, drowning in layers of fabric with just one leg peeking out. It’s a gorgeous shot — but also proof that my dress was holding me back. Ivory & White exists so you don’t have to feel that way.
