Reem Acra is the very essence of ultra-luxe glamour, impeccable elegance and modernity. She innately taps into what a style-setting girl wants and when she wants it, whether prêt-à-porter or bridal.  And for the bride, it goes without saying that it is paramount to look and feel not only alluring but somewhat ethereal.

Enter a Reem Acra wedding gown.

Marked by a romantic, regal aesthetic, sharp silhouette and flawless construction, Acra is as much a designer as a dream maker.

And brides to be: you can find your perfect dress this week at Blush Bridal in downtown Sarasota, when owners Nicole Mei and Fondren Watts host a by-appointment-only Reem Acra trunk show October 23 and 24 from 10 a.m.-5 p.m., where you can swoon over 35 dreamy gowns. And if you make your purchase during the show (prices range from $4,500-$9,000), you'll have a 10% discount at the ready, with champagne and treats to make your experience just a little sweeter. Call (941) 316-1615 or email [email protected].

But, before you go--the lovely Reem Acra herself granted an interview,with a preview of her newest collection that you simply don't want to miss.

 

It’s remarkable how you understand how a woman wants to look and feel when it comes to The Big Day.  How do your Lebanese roots and New York lifestyle inspire and contribute to your design aesthetic? 

 

You showed an amazingly dreamy runway for Spring 2016, titled "Everyone is a Star."  Beyond the gorgeous dresses, the title makes me feel that you are connected to those brides who trust their day to you.  How do you design into the future with her in mind?
