Pure Magnolia’s production is based entirely in Vancouver, eliminating shipping emissions, and we employ a local cottage industry workforce.

The 2013 Collections For 2013, we are proud to present three collections each representing a unique vision while still embodying the Pure Magnolia spirit. Pure Magnolia Classic is a collection of timeless and beautiful gowns for the eco-conscious bride. Pure Magnolia Vintage hints at days gone by while remaining relevant to the modern woman.
