Designer Spotlight: Sareh Nouri
Maybe it's because I love what I do that I find kindred spirits in people who are passionate about their work. Sareh Nouri is one of those people. From the moment I met her, I was blown away. For one, she’s a classic beauty—think the poise of Audrey Hepburn, the style of Chanel, and Amal Clooney’s elegant confidence. But beyond that, she has incredible heart. Yes, she’s an artist, and yes, she’s a businesswoman, but it’s clear that both are fueled by love. She pours her heart into every gown and carefully chooses her boutique partners to ensure they share her passion for bridal. It’s inspiring! And then, you see her gowns…
The first model stepped onto the runway, and suddenly, I could see everything I had felt while speaking with Sareh. Her classic style, her creativity, her attention to detail—it was all there, woven into every stitch. There was grace, a gentle playfulness, confidence, and above all, romance. By the end of the runway presentation, saying yes to working with Sareh and bringing her designs to Nyanza was one of the easiest decisions I’ve ever made. And that’s exactly why she’s the perfect choice for our first-ever Designer Spotlight!
Her Start
From a young age, growing up in Iran, Sareh Nouri was captivated by all things bridal. In fact, she was so enthralled with wedding dresses that, at her own wedding, her father joked about her lifelong obsession with bridal gowns. So perhaps it was fate that the search for her own dress would set her on the path to designing her own line. Frustrated by the challenge of finding a gown that was both sophisticated and ethereal, traditional yet modern, she took matters into her own hands. With a background in graphic design, she was able to bring her vision to life, creating her dream dress.
Shortly after her wedding, Sareh and her husband moved near New York City, which allowed her to fully immerse herself in the bridal industry. She explored every facet of the business—working at a high-end bridal salon, modeling wedding dresses, collaborating with couture dressmakers, and consulting one-on-one with brides. Through these experiences, she discovered she wasn’t alone in her struggle to find the perfect gown. So, she set out to change that, and thus, her bridal line was born.
Style
Creating gowns that are both on-trend and timeless is a rare skill, but Sareh Nouri accomplishes it with ease. Her designs embody lasting glamour, effortless femininity, and undeniable elegance. From delicate laces and romantic florals to sophisticated minimalism (often accented by her signature detachable bows), her gowns strike the perfect balance between tradition and modernity. Every dress is designed with the modern bride in mind—someone who values both classic beauty and contemporary refinement.
Production
A beautiful design is only as good as the craftsmanship behind it. That’s why Sareh sources the finest European laces and silk fabrics, ensuring that every gown meets the highest standards of luxury. Committed to quality, all of her gowns are proudly made in the United States, allowing her to oversee every detail of production. Working closely with a team of expert dressmakers and patternmakers, each gown is a handmade, couture creation, crafted with care and precision.
