Say Yes To The Dress

Barcelona’s most sought-after bridal designer, Señora Rosa Clará, gets candid with Monique Madsen and shares her thoughts on modern brides, wedding trends, and finding ‘the one’

A Rosa Clará bridal gown is a true representation of the kind of bride the designer of this eponymous label envisions: traditionally feminine yet distinctly modern. Although characterised by contemporary details such as skirts with pockets and sharp silhouettes, the design aesthetic of this proudly Spanish prêt-à-porter brand remains romantic and regal.

Rosa Clará applies old-school techniques alongside conventional methods to ensure each element is handcrafted to perfection. Even the simplest of her most straightforward and figure-skimming designs feature much intricacy in the details—which is normally the deciding factor for a discerning bride when hesistating on a ready-to-wear purchase. Known to creatively formulate practical design cues into a timeless piece, she gives her creations a uniquely stylish twist—like a discreetly detachable train or removable sleeves—that has become her signature. She also makes utmost comfort a priority in her designs. It’s been said that Rosa Clará is as much a designer as a dream maker for many brides.

CAN YOU DESCRIBE A ROSA CLARÁ BRIDE?

She knows what she wants! Now, more than ever, modern-day brides are strong, opinionated women. There are no rules, and there is a strong need to be as unique as possible. Which is why I make sure our range of styles is as varied as can be and customisation is always an option.
