This season, designer Berta once again demonstrates that the path to the altar is paved with lace, pearls, and transparent elements in her Spring/Summer collection, where every bride can feel like a princess on her big day.
Since her debut in 2004, bridal gown designer Berta has consistently shown how to blend elegance with trendiness and classic with innovative. Fearless in her approach, Berta’s designs often combine seemingly impossible elements into a mesmerizing look that cannot be ignored. Her dresses have long crossed the borders of Israel, now available in over 150 stores and sales points worldwide, from New York to Paris, London, and Milan. Brides across the globe walk down the aisle and celebrate in the Israeli designer’s artistic creations.
The Spring/Summer 2025 collection, showcased at New York Bridal Week, once again stole the spotlight with dresses that are pure works of art. While other designers may opt for minimalist lines and loose, body-avoiding designs, Berta celebrates the female form, bringing it to the forefront without compromising on drama—plenty of drama. Her designs feature sexy sheer elements that leave much to the imagination, a mix of lace, pearls, and floral appliqués, and even integrated chains, pearls, and stones within the dresses. The result is a multidimensional look that reveals new facets each time you look, making it impossible to capture everything at a glance. As always, Berta isn’t afraid to play with styles, fabrics, and textures. She combines everything in a seemingly impossible way, creating enchanting, inspiring looks that exude modern romance, passion, and femininity.
However, the goal of each dress appears to be more than just the design; it is to celebrate the wearer, with a focus on the woman’s body as much as the gown. We see flattering necklines, whether deep or shoulder-revealing, sexy backlines, narrow waists, and many dresses with slits alongside short dresses for brides who do not want a classic gown or seek a lighter option for dancing without compromising on quality. The feeling is that the dress is meant to celebrate the wearer, not overshadow her.
One of the most notable aspects this season is the collection’s versatility and the desire to allow each bride to shine and integrate her personality into the dress. On the one hand, Berta’s signature is evident in every gown, yet it seems each bride can find a unique design that feels distinctly "her." There are fitted dresses for brides who want to feel sexy and full skirts for those who dream of being princesses for a day, revealing gowns alongside modest ones, and especially many modular options. There are skirts that can be detached after the ceremony, add-ons for a more modest or glamorous look, and generally a lot of thought put into allowing each bride to surprise, stand out, and, most importantly, feel the most authentic and special on her day.
