Finding the wedding dress is a once-in-a-lifetime journey, and at Sophia’s Bridal & Tux, we love showcasing designers who elevate bridal style through thoughtful design, exceptional craftsmanship, and wearable beauty. Today, we’re shining a Spotlight on two beloved names in bridal fashion: Watters and its whimsical sister brand Willowby by Watters. If you’re dreaming of romantic silhouettes and unforgettable details for your big day, this is your invitation to explore what these designers have to offer — including stunning gowns you can try on right here at Sophia’s Bridal.


✨ The Art of Watters Bridal

Watters has built a reputation as a go-to bridal designer for brides seeking dresses that feel both timeless and modern. Founded by Vatana Watters and creatively guided alongside her daughter Sydney Watters Rohleder, the brand blends luxury fabrics with thoughtful silhouettes that flatter and delight brides of all styles. From sculptural mikado to delicate lace and tulle, Watters gowns often marry classic romance with contemporary flair.

Watters bridal gowns are known for:

  • Intricate lace and hand-finished details

  • Elegant silhouettes that range from classic ball gowns to sleek, modern cuts

  • Romantic, fashion-forward design that works for formal weddings and more relaxed celebrations alike


🌿 Willowby by Watters: Free-Spirited & Effortlessly Romantic

If your dream dress leans toward boho-inspired romance, Willowby by Watters is a line you’ll adore. Designed with a lighter, more whimsical aesthetic, Willowby offers airy silhouettes, soft textures, and a playful spirit — perfect for beach weddings, garden ceremonies, or brides who love a more natural, free-flowing bridal look.

What makes Willowby special:

  • Ethereal fabrics like chiffon and tulle

  • Laid-back yet refined style

  • Beautiful for brides seeking bohemian elegance with a modern twist
