Hunter Bride Competitors

Founded by Wayne and Lesley Webster alongside her mother, Dorothy Steiner, the brand bears the namesake of Lesley’s cherished great-grandmother, Margaret “Maggie” Sottero. Leading the charge into the future is Lesley’s daughter, Kelly Midgley, who now serves as CEO and Creative Director. In this remarkable family legacy, moms and daughters run the show, which makes Maggie especially keen on designing for the diversity of brides searching for their perfect wedding gown. Maggie Sottero believes every bride deserves to feel exceptional on their big day, whatever their style, identification, budget, size, timeline, and wedding vision. Millions of brides have found “the one” across our three labels: Maggie Sottero, Sottero and Midgley, and Rebecca Ingram. At Maggie Sottero Designs, our mission is to turn bridal dreams into reality. With each new season, we're not just inspired – we're driven to reimagine our approach, innovate our techniques, and set a bold, contemporary tone across designs.
