volume 1: fall 2013
just a glimpse. this is not a collection of trends or best-ofs, but rather a peek of what we find beautiful.
simplicity is the ultimate sophistication - leonardo da vinci meet anna bé: anna bé launched in 2006 and yes, the idea was drafted over a cocktail napkin. when we opened the plan was simple: give brides the experience they deserve and a curated collection of great designs with unparalleled service. we opened with a mix of designers and price points but little did we know that the most frequently used adjective to describe our collection was going to be “different.” your dresses are so different. was different good? was different just a polite way to say that people didn’t like what we provided? heck yeah different is good. for us different meant embracing great design and just saying no to cheap-bling and big pouf. different meant saying yes to color, yes to texture, and yes to varying lengths. in the seven years that we’ve been open, bridal design has come a long way and there are many more great options available that didn’t previously exist. in that change, anna bé has remained true to its core of being more than just a place to buy a designer wedding dress. the anna bé collection includes the names you know (vera wang, monique lhuillier, lela rose) but it also includes the best new designers (tara latour) and stylish favorites (amy kuschel, elizabeth fillmore, augusta jones).
