A Rime Arodaky wedding dress is coveted for both the detail and originality. The best place to try on her designs is at the NYC flagship store. Couture collections and handcrafted finishes caught the attention of everyone around the globe. American brides can’t resist the draping, ruffles and corseting from this iconic French designer.
As a New York photographer, I love to accompany my clients for dress fittings to photograph the moments that surround their wedding. Often important people come along and revel in the sight of the almost ready bride. I love the anticipation and ability to tell a story outside of just the wedding day. See my photographs of a final fitting of a custom Katie Ermilio gown.
Rime Arodaky wedding dress shopping in NYC
Upon arrival at the maison, you are greeted by the white interior that pairs modern design with old world craftsmanship. Gowns are displayed by collection. A few archival looks give a sense of the depth of Rime’s designs. See the current collection here.
The experience is personal and intimate because visits are by appointment only. Occasionally Rime is in town and you can select a gown under her guidance. Otherwise the incredible Ali is there to walk you through the process.
Finding a designer Wedding Dress with a Stylist
Everyone should know that the secret to wedding dress shopping is with a stylist. Lizzy from Agency Eight Stylist helped us select the right gown. Yes, you can find a dress on your own but wouldn’t you rather enlist the help of an industry insider? She can walk you through how to select, tailor and care for the biggest fashion purchase of your life (perhaps).
