Maggie Sottero is proud to partner with our Authorized Retailers around the world to offer one-of-a-kind experiences for you to say ‘yes to the dress’ at. Bridal events highlight different styles of gowns to showcase the newest seasonal collections, or even test new designs that are not even in production yet to get feedback from within the marketplace! They are usually collaborative events where you can meet with wedding vendors, network with other brides-to-be, or get a one-on-one appointment with a member of our design team to help you find your dream dress from the latest collection.
