Marmar Halim Bridal: Wedding Dresses, Prices, Fittings and the White Gowns Luxury Handbags Carries

Marmar Halim is a bridal house as well as an evening one, and the two lines are sold differently. The bridal gowns are fitted in person, at the brand’s Dubai showroom and at thirteen bridal boutiques on three continents, and quoted per gown. The evening line, which Luxury Handbags carries, includes 21 white and ivory pieces that a bride with a civil ceremony, a beach wedding and a second look can order made to order in her size. This page covers both, for the bride and for the guest who has been asked to wear white.

How the bridal line is sold

The brand shows its bridal collection as a lookbook rather than a shop, with a Book an Appointment form beside it, and that is the whole model: a bride sees the gowns, books a fitting, and the house cuts the gown to her. The fitting happens at the Dubai Design District showroom, Building 7, Showroom A509, and at the bridal boutiques on the brand’s stockists page. Because each gown is cut to measure and quoted at the fitting, there is no bridal price list; the couture collection on the brand’s site, at AED 10,750 to AED 23,350, is the nearest published guide to what a made-to-measure Marmar Halim gown costs. The construction brides ask about is the corset gown: the corseted strapless bodice that sits under the house’s pleated evening gowns, worked in white, with a cape as the ceremony cover. Our Dubai guide explains the showroom.

Where to be fitted

In the United States: Mark Ingram in Manhattan, the Wedding Salon of Manhasset on Long Island, Loho Bride in Los Angeles, Ultimate Bride in Chicago and Chic Parisien in Miami. In Australia, Helen Rodrigues Bridal. In Asia, Mirror Mirror and Kotohogi in Japan, Atelier Ku in Seoul and Loft Bridal in Singapore. Va de Blanco in Mexico City, Bridal Avenue in Barcelona and 51 East in Doha complete the list. Trunk shows, where the house’s gowns visit a boutique for a weekend, are arranged through the boutiques, so the boutique is the place to ask for dates. The full stockist list, with the evening-line stores, is in where to buy Marmar Halim.

The white and ivory pieces Luxury Handbags carries

Luxury Handbags does not stock bridal, but the evening line does most of what a modern bride asks of a second dress, a civil-ceremony gown and a destination wedding, and every piece here is made to order in UK 4 to 18, with Luxury Shoes ’s return terms in the returns protocol.

For the guest

Not white. The house is strongest in colour, and the pink, yellow and blue guides sort it by shade; the styling guide covers the rest, and the mother of the bride has a guide of her own. Before anyone orders, the size guide: the bodices are corseted and the chart, not the habit, decides the size.
