Edel wins Irish Bridal Designer of the Year Award

Edel Tuite has recently won the Irish Bridal Designer of the Year Award in the Traditional Category. The stunning award-winning gown, called Medica, was made from ivory pearl Italian silk with an elegant pleated sash and French side-corsage. Edel was very much influenced by her much-loved and adored icons Audrey Hepburn & Grace Kelly, both of whom inspired her to create her winning design. This timeless wedding gown will never look dated even when you look back 20 years to your special day.

Having just launched her stunning new collection for 2008/2009, Edel is very excited as it is the largest she has ever designed. Edel has put a lot of hard work and effort into creating this breathtaking array of stunning designs, tailored especially towards brides that may be getting married abroad - her luxurious silk fabrics with delicately hand-beaded Swarokski Crystals look magnificent when they catch the sunlight, and her natural fabrics that are breathable - perfectly suited to hot climates.

The next part of her collection is Edel's Classical Timeless Range, again inspired by her icons Audrey Hepburn & Grace Kelly. Tailoring is very important to this beautiful collection, with luxurious Italian silks, French laces & silk taffathas. Something Edel loves incorporating into her designs are interesting, elegant back features, which, along with lots of different necklines, feature heavily in this particular collection. It's true to say that you always know an Edel Tuite bridal gown, as it always stands out from other gowns. Edel loves her brides to feel both stunning & comfortable in her dream wedding dress.

Part three of Edel's collection is the Fairytale Romantic Collection. This particular range is for brides who have dreamt of nothing but the fairytale wedding dress since she was tens years old. Edel has designed numerous flattering corseted bodice gowns with exquisite embroidery & Swaroski Crystal embellishments & full fairytale skirts with a difference. This collection is truly fit for a princess.

The fourth part of her newly-designed collection is for brides who are looking for that something a bit different - the head-turning wedding gown that is going to make a statement. Edel uses different colours - black & white; ivory with champagne & amber embellishments; ice blue silks etc - in this stunning collection. The possibilities for this range are endless - you could even get Edel to reinvent your wedding dress after the special day. Imagine being able to re-design & wear your wedding dress again!
