Wings of Freedom: A Celebration of Love and Self-Discovery
The Wings of Freedom bridal show wasn’t just an event; it was a heartfelt celebration of beauty, love, and individuality.
A Dream Brought to Life
The inspiration behind the Wings of Freedom bridal collection was nothing short of a dream. It all began with a vision of love and freedom taking physical forms—feathers symbolizing strength, and floral motifs embodying the delicate beauty of the journey. This dream evolved into a collection that celebrates not only the joy of love but also the courage to embrace oneself fully.
Each design in this collection is crafted to empower brides. The intricate details, from pearl embellishments to flowing tulle, are more than decorative—they carry a story. The wings, softly draped in fabric and design, are not just aesthetic but symbolic of the freedom to love, to dream, and to soar.
The Big Day: A Show to Remember
On Nov 2nd, the Wings of Freedom bridal show took flight at the iconic Museum of Flight in Seattle. This venue, with its sweeping architecture and historic aviation displays, perfectly complemented the collection’s theme of soaring into love and life.
The event showcased 18 breathtaking designs, each highlighting the perfect balance of elegance and practicality. These dresses are not just stunning to behold; they are thoughtfully crafted to be lightweight and functional, a reflection of how modern relationships should feel—uplifting and effortless.
The show’s models, walking confidently down the runway, breathed life into each piece. The audience’s cheers echoed the joy of seeing beauty in motion, a perfect synergy between craftsmanship and the energy of the women wearing the designs.
Overcoming Challenges to Create a Dream
Creating this collection and hosting the show was a journey filled with challenges and lessons. As someone who has walked countless runways, I thought my experience would translate smoothly into organizing a show. However, reality had its surprises.
From securing funding to finding the perfect models, every step was a test of perseverance. Wedding dresses, with their intricate materials and handcrafted details, require significant resources. Each dress was a labor of love, with hand-sewn feathers and floral details pushing the boundaries of craftsmanship. Add to that the logistics of organizing a large-scale event in a prestigious venue—it was nothing short of a marathon.
Unexpected hurdles appeared even on the day of the show. A last-minute change in the lineup and challenges with fittings added to the chaos. Yet, seeing the audience’s reactions—the applause, the admiration—made every moment worth it.
A Message to Brides Everywhere
The Wings of Freedom collection is my love letter to every bride. I hope these designs remind them that their wedding day is not just a celebration of their union but also a tribute to their individuality and journey.
Marriage should be a relationship that uplifts and empowers. Like the feathers and floral motifs of these dresses, love is both delicate and resilient. My wish for every bride is to embrace their unique beauty and walk into their future with confidence and grace.
Looking Ahead
As I reflect on this milestone, my heart is full of gratitude. The Wings of Freedom show was Soulmates Bridal’s first, but it certainly won’t be our last. This is just the beginning of a journey to create dreams for more brides, to make high-quality, stunning designs accessible to all.

To all the brides-to-be: Love is freedom. And so are you.
