Bridal Designer Francesca Miranda Launches THE GLORIA: A Digital Bridal Platform Celebrating Latin American Beauty, Design and Lifestyle

Renowned Colombian bridal designer, Francesca Miranda has created a one-stop-shop where brides and attendees alike can find the best of the best Latin American fashion and lifestyle brands. You'll find ready-to-wear bridal pieces, as well as home items designed in collaboration with artisans from all over the Latin American region. Miranda dreamt up THE GLORIA as a way to honor and reminisce on Latin American romance and nostalgia, while spotlighting Latin American brands. Plus, this new platform comes just in time for brides to shop Francesca Miranda's Fall 2022 bridal collection.

THE GLORIA is a passion project in which the designer both thoughtfully designed her namesake line of bridal ready-to-wear, and carefully curated an assortment of furniture, artisanal homeware, fine jewelry, skincare products and services targeted towards the modern bride, as well as their friends and family. On the shop page of THE GLORIA, shoppers will chose between "bridal" or "attendee" and find themselves scrolling through a musing assortment of pieces from leading Latin American brands. Brides and guests can easily shop for carefully selected pieces, categorized by wedding event. From a hand crafted, silk tulle wedding gown to a sleek double-breasted blazer, or an artisanal wood backgammon set, THE GLORIA's diverse offering has something for everyone in the wedding party. The site also offers registry services, a directory of their Latin vendor networks, and editorial guides for couples planning a special Latin American destination wedding.

In a press release, the brand explained, "Francesca Miranda embraces its Latin heritage and holds a passionate love for Latin America and its vibrant, diverse cultures. THE GLORIA both celebrates and highlights the region as the ultimate destination for international weddings." As a brand whose DNA is rooted in Latin American and Caribbean influence, it was important to have a platform where Latin brands and artisans are pushed to the forefront.
