Odylyne The Ceremony is a brand of exquisite bridal gowns founded by Stephanie White. Each of her dresses captures the deep emotion, ethereal beauty, romance, and beauty of life and art. The brand strives to create a dream-like state in reality of the strong expectations you may have on one of the most memorable days of your life.
The latest collection, “Winged Messenger,” draws inspiration from the iconic “Balcony Scene” in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. At this moment, Romeo compares Juliet to a “wingèd messenger of heaven.” This metaphor allows him to express his admiration for her beauty and divine qualities and emphasize her enchanting effect on him. “We are so heavily inspired by Shakespeare and the storytelling he did so eloquently with themes of love. His enduring legacy is a testament to his genius and the timeless nature of his work. He was able to capture the essence of the human experience so beautifully,” says Stephanie.
In this collection, the designer revisits Shakespeare and his idea of the power of love, blending it with historical styles to inspire modern brides. Winged Messenger features stunning pieces that evoke feathered wings, crinkled pleats stylistically reminiscent of Baroque fashion, whimsical bubble sleeves, and sweetheart bodices. You’ll also find full, voluminous skirts, whether layered, reminding a ballerina tutu or paired with pannier structures. Keep scrolling to discover dresses that beautifully capture divine femininity.
