social responsibility
AT MAGGIE SOTTERO

At Maggie Sottero Designs, we are committed to creating beautiful and inclusive spaces for every single one of our brides. Each bride, regardless of color, identity, body shape or size, wedding vision, budget, or timeline, deserves to feel seen, confident and celebrated on their wedding day. We are inspired by every bride’s love story and celebrate the diversity of love in all its forms. We design our gowns in loving answer. From construction and fit, to the choice of fabrics and finishing details, we desire to ensure every bride feels like the best version of themselves on their wedding day.

WHAT ARE OUR DEI AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
efforts?

As we continue to create and innovate, diversity and social responsibility are areas we strive to improve on for our Maggie family and community. Not only are they important today — but for our future. We are committed to embracing every bride and every love story and will not rest till all love is celebrated. Our heart… LOVE and love for ALL.

Through our diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, we have been able to better reflect and serve our community of unique brides and better represent all brides to ensure they have a meaningful experience during their wedding dress shopping journey. From inclusive sizing and featuring diverse models, to partnering with brands and influencers who inspire positive change in the industry, we are working towards a future that celebrates everyone!

PARTNERSHIPS THAT
represent

Diversity in bridal are not just words; it’s action. When we began our journey in bridal, we set out to ensure all Maggie brides are seen, and their wedding dreams become a reality.

To promote our inclusive sizing and impeccable construction made for plus size brides, we partnered with curve fashion pioneer, Liris Crosse, for Barcelona Bridal Fashion Week in 2018. As the first plus size supermodel to win Project Runway’s modeling competition, she was able to help us forge a path toward a brighter and more inclusive future in bridal.

Starting the conversations about accessibility within the bridal space is important and one Maggie is excited to lead. Through our partnerships with Models of Diversity, All Bodies, All Brides, and with our newest influencer, Lona, we are inspired to bring awareness and elevate brides of all backgrounds, paving the way for inclusion within our bridal communities worldwide.

Our celebration of diversity and social responsibility extends to our amazing retailers. To read about their stories, businesses, and how they have reimagined the world of bridal explore our blogs here.

CELEBRATING all brides

Not only do we strive to promote diversity on our runway, but we are also intentional with the models we choose for our campaign photo and video shoots so that every bride is represented when they shop for our gowns no matter their color, size, identity, or ability.

Our Maggie Brides’ love stories inspire our inclusivity efforts within our Maggie family every day. Celebrating and highlighting love stories through different cultures keeps us connected, and it’s important to see brides of every color, size, ability, and identity.

This journey towards inclusivity also means celebrating love through different cultures. Love is love, and it connects us across cultures and the world. Find inspiration with some of our brides and explore their different love stories and weddings here.
