By Tanner Richie and Fletcher Kasell’s own admission, their brand Tanner Fletcher’s first bridal collection is “unconventional.” There’s a Hollywood Regency-esque robe that looks straight out of the wardrobe of Norma Desmond, alongside a billowing sheer top styled with jeans. (For brides or grooms, they explain.) Velvet tuxedos come in a variety of pastel shades, while veils are adorned with a Tanner Fletcher favorite: bows. Everything is vintage-inspired, like you rifled through the bridal trousseau of one of Truman Capote’s Swans—but then had a tailor bring them firmly into the present day.

What about those getting married at the courthouse and then having dinner at Balthazar? Or same-sex brides who want white suits rather than princess dresses? Or a fashion-loving couple who wants something cool and retro? “A lot of brides that are looking more for the vintage aesthetic, because you can’t really get it from traditional bridal stores,” says Richie.
