bridal brand represented by a powerhouse duo of talent and friendship. They are Amandine and Sandra. Both are educated in French fashion design and share their creativity and their business—as only great friends could. Amandine and Sandra’s experience is rooted in women’s ready-to-wear. It wasn’t until late 2010 that they decided to create their first bridal fashion house, Atelier 2B. They produce wedding dresses for “frenzied romantics,” as they put it. The Atelier, in Toulouse, France, is where all the concepts and creations come alive. The brand is comprised of high-end couture gowns, handmade and customized to every request. The pair shares, “it is the bride who inspires us.” “Contemporary, feminine, with a vintage and bohemian touch,” is how the pair describes their brand’s aesthetic. One of their favorite elements of designing is the focus on the back of the bride’s gown. Atelier 2B displays absolute seduction here. “The backs are always beautifully worked.” Luxurious Italian and French fabrics are used to delicately drape layers close to the body, accentuating the shape and silhouette that prove elegant and effortless—sensuousness necessary for romantic looks.
