Markarian SS2022 Bridal Collection
Represented by Savannah Engel.
The Markarian Spring / Summer 2022 Bridal Collection references the ornate detail and embellished opulence of late Renaissance portraiture cut in classic silhouettes of the 1950’s.
Each gown is nostalgic yet fresh, transporting you to a time where old-world elegance is infused with modern femininity. Ditsy jacquards, delicate bundles of silk organza floral appliques, pearl beaded laces, and exaggerated sashes bring layered textures to life for a playful take on classic romance.

“Feminine cuts take focus this season and are accessorized with dreamy headpieces made in a special collaboration with Gigi Burris Millinery,” says Alexandra O’Neill, founder and designer of Markarian. “We used fabrics and embellishments from our S/S2022 bridal gowns to effortlessly complement the beautiful accessories. Satin wrapped headbands, hand draped Swarovski pearl dotted silk bows and violettes, and wispy veils are all ethereal yet wearable.”
“Gigi Burris Millinery was founded to preserve the romantic craft of millinery, with timeless design and thoughtful craftsmanship in every piece produced,” says Gigi Burris, founder of Gigi Burris Millinery. “Gigi Burris Millinery and Markarian are dedicated to responsible, local and handmade production in New York City. A natural partnership between two female founders, we both share an appreciation for exquisite technique and attention to detail.”
