Maxima Bridal
Maxima Bridal was founded in 1999 as a family business and has since helped more than 50,000 brides in 30 countries find their dream wedding dress. Started in the city of Chernivtsi (Ukraine); a well-known hub for wedding dressmakers with a historic dressmaking tradition, our dresses are now ubiquitous in bridal shops across Europe. Our exquisite wedding gowns have walked down many international runaways, and have received accolades and awards from around the globe. In 2020, Miss Ukraine wore our gown at the Miss Universe pageant.
We launched our online store in early 2020, and since then many brides from Canada and the US have chosen our personalized custom made dresses instead of a run-of-the-mill wedding dress from a mega-chain.
Our highly skilled dressmakers in Europe work their craft with unmatched precision and finesse. Each dress is hand-crafted, made to measure, and intricately embellished with hand-sewn beads, delicate pearls and crystals, lace appliques and guipure, to create that timeless wedding dress that leaves you spellbound.
Our Founders
It all began 24 years ago when a young couple decided to get married. Marin was a dedicated math teacher and Olena was a skilled wedding gown seamstress. Little did they know that their union would spark the creation of a thriving family business.
As their wedding day approached, Olena decided to design and craft her own wedding dress. When Marin saw the dress for the first time, he was not only captivated by its beauty but also deeply moved by Olena's talent. At that moment, a seed was planted—a dream that insisted on blooming and being shared with the world. The couple decided to start a small family business. And so, their journey in the world of wedding dresses began.
Over the years, the small family business has grown and evolved, but one thing has remained constant—the unwavering dedication of the founding couple. Despite the demands of time and the expansion of their brand, they are still as passionate and involved in every dress that bears the mark of their brand.
Olena remains the heart and soul of the business. She is intimately involved in the creation of every custom gown, ensuring that each Maxima bride receives the perfect dress she envisions. Marin oversees the operational aspects of the brand, enabling his wife's talent to continue being showcased to the world.
