A surprise FaceTime to help someone say yes might just be in the cards.”

Check out what we’ve been up to the last few months!
“Spark in the Dark”
We made a special trip up to NYC and got a sneak preview of a few collection pieces back in April at the “Spark in the Dark” industry party to welcome back Hayley. She surprised us with an exclusive look at the collection in a swanky underground speakeasy! Our fave at the party was the beautiful “Silver Springs” wedding dress.
Silver Springs
Meteorite caviar-beaded ballgown, sweetheart corset bodice with detachable off-the-shoulder and tank straps, basque waist with nude lining and cathedral train. With matching veil.
From the designer:
“Stevie Nicks has always been a creative North Star for me — and when I designed this fabric while listening to Silver Springs, the gown practically made itself. That song reminded me how fleeting moments cast their own spell, how love lingers in memory long after it’s gone, and how silver linings reveal themselves when you least expect them. This gown wasn’t intended to glow in the dark… but she does. And at our NYC sneak peek, she became our literal spark-after-dark, catching the light like blue-green colors flashing on water. The corset back snatches the waist and gives va-va-voom to a classic ballgown shape — she’s rock ‘n’ roll meets royal, a little haunting, a little unforgettable. Time casts a spell on you… but you won’t forget her. She shines on. Just like you do.”

The Runway Debut in Palm Springs, Florida!
It was finally time on July 27th, the full 30 piece collection walked the runway in beautiful sunny Palm Springs! We’ll chat about a few of our faves that just might make a permanent home at Stella’s Bridal in Westminster in the next few weeks!!
Let’s chat about our faves!!
Obviously we have to start with the stunning “After the Storm,” a beautiful Rainbow Pastel Dreamsicle!!! We’re obsessed with the sheer tulle layers and the COLOR! Yes please ~ The bow-veil may be a bit too couture for you, but that’s ok! A beautiful soft blush color veil would be stunning as well!
After the Storm
Multi-colored tulle ballgown with draped sweetheart bodice and irregular tiered skirt, finished with removable off-the-shoulder straps and a sweeping cathedral train.
From the designer:
“After the Storm is my rainbow — a gown inspired from some of the most challenging moments in my career. During that time, I would take long walks just to clear my head, and almost every time, I’d catch sight of a rainbow — in the sky, in a sprinkler, reflected in a sunbeam. Those little moments reminded me that you have to put up with the rain to see the rainbow, and that everything — the good, the bad — is temporary. She’s a celebration of presence, of finding beauty where you are, of pausing to marvel when the light bends just right. A gown that wears her joy unapologetically, like the perfect end to a storm.”
Our next fave is the iconic “East of Eden.” We’re loving this fitted look! This sequin pattern is a blast from the past and truly an iconic Hayley Paige look! Countless bridal designers tried and failed to dupe this look by Hayley and we are so glad to see her bringing it back around for her new collection!
East of Eden
Ivory Marrakesh beaded fit-to-flare gown with strapless plunge neckline and cashmere lining. Shown with a detachable cascading tulle overskirt, appliquéd with matching detail, and finished with a chapel train and scallop hem. With matching veil.
From the designer:
“Finally solving the age-old bridal debate of fitted versus ballgown, this is your true have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too moment. She starts with a sleek, sculpted silhouette and offers the option to layer on a dramatic, sweeping overskirt when the mood (or the aisle) calls for it. I’ve always loved an interchangeable gown, and this one feels especially meaningful — a reincarnation of our beloved Elke, reimagined. The Marrakesh sequin-beadwork is a hand-crafted celebration of artistry and metamorphosis — at first glance geometric, but look closer and you’ll find a hidden butterfly woven into the pattern. I wanted her to feel equal parts fierce and fluttery — a gown that commands attention, yet still knows how to take flight.”
This next look is a great option if you’re interested in dabbling in a bit of color in your wedding dress! With the option to be made with or without the subtle colored 3D florals, this gorgeous tiered – in a true Hayley Paige fashion – wedding dress is classic and clean with a bit of whimsy. We simply cannot wait to see this one on our brides!
Turning Paiges
Ivory double-layered horsehair flounce ballgown, scattered with delicate colored petals and flowers. The shapely mikado bodice draws inspiration from the clean, elegant lines of a ballet leotard – structured yet fluid, modern yet full of fun. With matching veil.
“It’s all in her name — a gown that feels like a true paige-turner. She carries the story forward, surprising and delighting in her wake. She moves with the tides, like petals on a wave — light, effortless, and full of quiet motion in the moonlight. Her petalwork is stitched with nostalgia; she holds her memories close but keeps her enthusiasm squarely on what’s to come. I like to think that the Turning Paiges ballgown is for the bride who knows her story is still being written — and can’t wait for the next chapter.”
Iconic look after iconic look! Next is “The Light You Keep” – this gown pays tribute to an iconic HP look! The long sleeve layered ballgown of everyone’s dreams! We’re loving the long sleeves (that are detachable, by the way!!) and the soft-plunge-sweetheart neckline. This look is sweet but sassy – everything that a Hayley Paige bride is!!
The Light You Keep
Ivory mosaic floral ballgown with sweetheart bodice, optional straps, and detachable long sleeves. The cascading tulle skirt floats over nude lining, finished with a cathedral train and matching veil.
From the designer:
“The Light You Keep pays homage to one of my most iconic designs — affectionately nicknamed the Banksy gown — with its mosaic floral appliqué and layered ballgown silhouette. Much like Banksy’s art, she makes her statement quietly at first, but impossible to ignore once you see her: a kind of beautiful rebellion wrapped in softness. This gown is also a love letter to the kind of light you carry inside — the one that never really goes out, even in your darkest chapters. It’s a reminder that you don’t have to wait for someone else to hand you the spotlight — you already hold it. She’s simply here to help you shine. Also, you should ask about her detachable sleeves – a surprise second look for you.”

“Remember that book I didn’t close? We’re picking it back up, right where we left off.
My brand new Hayley Paige collection is a tribute to the dress lovers who outlasted the storm with me. You didn’t just believe in me, you brought me back to what I love. You reminded me that creating still matters, even in the messy, unmagical chapters. Thanks for keeping a little whimsy in your pocket when the joy felt out of reach. I really love that about you
