Our story began in the early 1990s when Lora’s mother launched a couture wedding dress atelier which later grew into a factory with over one hundred employees and a chain of stores within the EU. After a vibrant career as a fashion designer in New York City, Lora joined her mother in London in 2018 and established Lora Nova Bridal. The label inherits the couture wedding dress legacy of her family.
Our brand of bridal couture stands for affordable luxury. There is a princess in each of us.
