Italian Dress Brand "ANTONIO RIVA"
While there are various imported wedding dress brands such as Vera Wang, Monique Lhuillier, Pronovias, and Oscar de la Renta...
Among them, a brand that has garnered numerous requests from brides saying, "I've admired it since becoming a bride-to-be" and "I'm so moved that I can wear this for my wedding" is this one.
It's the Italian dress brand "ANTONIO RIVA" ♡
The dresses created by Antonio Riva, a former architect, are characterized by their three-dimensional design. With beautiful cutting and silhouettes, they enchant brides around the world ♡
Antonio Riva has released numerous dresses, but among them, we would like to introduce:
✅ Dresses that can be worn in Japan
✅ Dresses that are very popular among brides
♡
① sissi
Since its introduction in 2017, this dress has remained popular without fading away.
It's the "sissi" dress.
Sissi uses a unique silk called "silk gazar" that has a distinctive firmness. While it appears to be a simple dress from the front...
The back features a long, large ribbon ♡
The ribbon can be tied in various ways—like a bow, a single knot, or shaped into a flower—which is a popular point.
Even the same dress can present a different expression ♡
When seated, this volume is impressive.
From the side, the large ribbon is visible, and it's truly adorable ♡
② DAPHHNE
DAPHHNE is an exclusive dress created in collaboration between Antonio Riva and the retailer Hatsuko Endo. It's a different fabric version of Sissi *
While Sissi uses a firmer fabric, Daphne uses a slightly softer material.
Thanks to the soft fabric, the hem of the skirt and the ends of the ribbon tend to curl, which many find cute! ♡
Both Sissi and Daphne leave brides wondering how to tie the ribbon, right?
Various tying methods can be suggested by dress salons ♡
③ SOPHIA
The "SOPHIA" dress uses luxurious silk satin.
The highlight of Sophia is its back, which resembles the fluttering petals of a sweet pea.
You can't help but admire the beautiful cutting ♡
The back view ♡
The beautiful sheen of the silk satin allows even those unfamiliar with dresses to recognize its luxurious material.
④ KRISTEL
"Kristel" is a rare slender line dress among Antonio Riva's collection.
Like Sissi and Sophia, Kristel features a simple front that emphasizes the body's silhouette, with a point of interest at the back.
Its back style combines flowing silk organza with georgette crepe.
Upon closer inspection, instead of a ribbon, it is designed in a three-dimensional way with the fabric. This unique design is unlike any other *
Depending on the angle, the right side appears like a fluffy ribbon,
while the left side looks like flower-like ruffles ♡
⑤ SIBILLA
Sibilla is a wedding dress made from soft silk organza. The hem of the skirt has a horse-line finish, resulting in a dress that moves like a ribbon ♡
The back also features a drape that flows from the back in a horse-line style. The luxurious silk organza paired with the structured horse line creates a stylish accent ♡
It perfectly matches the illuminated stairs at the Grand Hyatt ♡
⑥ VENERE
The beautiful mermaid-line wedding dress VENERE. It features a stylish silhouette with a straight neckline.
The back is adorned with a large, airy three-dimensional ribbon ♡
It has a voluminous appearance even from the side, resembling angel wings.
The seated pose is beautiful too ♡
I Want to Wear an Antonio Riva Wedding Dress ♡
The dresses by Antonio Riva are characterized by their three-dimensional cutting.
Many dresses feature a simple front and an impactful back, showcasing a different side on the front and back, which is a popular point.
It would be great if there were dress salons that carry Antonio Riva dresses, but there are few retailers in Japan, and even if they do have them, not all designs are available. Since it’s a popular brand, there are voices saying that fitting reservations can be booked months in advance...!
For brides who want to wear Antonio Riva dresses, we recommend using the "Dress Concierge" service that can be applied through marry.
✅ They might partially cover the dress bringing fee.
✅ You can leave the fitting reservation to them!
✅ There’s also a possibility of lower rental fees.
