Many moons ago, (37 years if you’re the numbers type), a light went off in the mind of Vatana Watters. She’d been designing one-off dresses for herself, as well as friends and family – who came up empty-handed when looking for dresses that didn’t feel cookie-cutter. So Vatana took a vow (ha), to take matters into her own hands. Fast forward to now. The Watters family has become a creative team of designers, pattern makers, and seamstresses. Our focus – know fashion, pick up on trends and understand how brides’ wants and needs to evolve. Drama, comfort, style, versatility, and individuality. We want to be all that to brides and bridesmaids. We’ve also been lucky to be all that to style influencers, celebrities and inspirational women who’ve hit runways and red carpets, and appeared in TV shows and movies in our designs. Our tight-knit team is as passionate about creating innovative designs and attention to detail, as we are about bringing those ideas to life. To learn more about us visits watters.com
