Did someone say TV debut?!✨ We’re still swooning over the fact that Grace + Ivory was the featured wedding dress designer on the most recent season of Married at First Sight — Chicago Season 18! 🎉

Thomas & Camille stole the show (and our hearts 💕), and we’re so honored to have been part of their special day. Camille looked absolutely stunning in our Nia dress, featuring a nude golden underlay and art deco-inspired lace appliqué that perfectly complemented her radiant energy.

From the TV screen to real-life love stories, we’re here to help every bride lean into her moment with confidence, style, and just the right amount of sparkle. ✨

Swipe through to see more of this gorgeous couple and Camille’s unforgettable gown!

2024 was a year of momentum and new beginnings. Magical and a bit of a crazy year. We had highs and lows. We married, we mourned, and we had so much to celebrate!

Grateful for:
- First and foremost – our BRIDES! We are forever thankful for the 200+ brides that donned a Grace + Ivory design this year. We are beyond honored to have our dress, veil be a forever memory on one of the biggest days of your lives.
- Getting MARRIED! Alyssa & Tina both tied the knot in May and November of this year. Each designed custom gowns for their big days <3
- Married at First Sight! We were the featured dress designer in MAFS and loved seeing our gowns on all the brides that took a chance at LOVE. We loved throwing a watch party with our fellow friendors to celebrate! @mafslifetime
- Our first COVER PHOTO with Chicago Style Weddings! SO excited to have our Caira dress (designed with @cairabutton) and blusher veil on the most recent cover.
- Our FEATURES with @modluxweddingschi, @brides, @loverly, @theknot, and more! 2024 was an amazing year to share our love and dresses with brides everywhere.
- Launching our PARTY DRESS COLLECTION! SO proud and excited to work on this collection with @lyssamenosky and we LOVE all the dresses that are perfect for reception, rehearsal, bridal shower, birthday, etc.!
- Chicago FASHION Week! We had an amazing time with our Grace + Ivory dresses on the runway.
- Visiting our production TEAM! They are at the heart of our designs and we are so grateful for their talent.
✨
There’s so much more that has happened that we celebrated. And while the highs were high, we want to recognize the lows as well. There were some moments and stretches of time this past year where we needed to step back, grieve, take time for ourselves, and process. Thank you to those that we could lean on and our support systems that help us get back to doing what we love with Grace + Ivory everyday.
❤️
Thank you 2024. Cheers to 2025!
