We are excited and honored to debut Grace + Ivory’s 2026 campaign: Romance, Reimagined.
Grace + Ivory’s rotating collection of made-to-measure wedding dresses melds timeless fantasy with nods to history. To tell the story of our dresses, of our bride, we needed the perfect venue—and we found it in a 1920s-era private home on the North Shore designed by the legendary architect David Adler, still rife with original details.

The location reflected our craftsmanship: Our dresses are made by people, and feature hand-placed lace, luxurious fabrics, and beaded detailing.
They’re designed for the bride who writes her own story, honoring the past while creating a legacy that’s entirely her own.
This is what she wears: A modern heirloom. A love letter, written in lace.
A Grace + Ivory gown.

We partnered with a stellar team of collaborators from both within and outside the wedding industry, who glammed, styled, and shot our Grace + Ivory bride to align with our old-soul vision, and pegged Chicago content creator and real bride-to-be Kara Williams to model the dresses.
