For her Spring 2025 Markarian Bridal collection, designer Alexandra O’Neill was inspired by “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” one of Shakespeare’s most celebrated and performed plays.

Like its whimsy romantic star-crossed lover plot in an ethereal fairy world, the collection infused fantastical playfulness and ebullient energy into a designer reality, including three veils adorned with cascading ruffles, sheer tulle, and ribbon bows designed in collaboration with CFDA member brand Gigi Burris Millinery.

Bridal gowns featured charming details like bows, eyelets and the finest laces, and embellished afterparty dresses designed to sparkle under the stars made perfect choices for a celebration full of dancing. The collection’s universe of enchanting designs are perfect for beginning the first night of an unforgettable journey with magic.

The royal wedding party in the Shakespearean drama is a reminder that love is best suited for dreamers, poets, and fools – and so was this dreamy collection.
