Guide Note

Amsale is the number one selling couture wedding gown company in the United States, created by designer Amsale Aberra in 1986. Amsale’s bridal and evening wear lines can be found in boutiques and specialty retailers nationwide.

Amsale Aberra gained recognition for her take on the modern wedding dress. Frustrated by the lack of availability of the simple yet sophisticated wedding gown, she set out to produce and market her own line of bridal wear catering to a select clientele. Not only known for her elegant bridal wear, Amsale designs a line of eveningwear often seen at the Academy Awards.

Amsale designs are timeless yet classic, with a touch of modern flair and femininity. Amsale details its gowns with hand crafted beading, silk flowers, laces, and tailored bows, all made with high quality fabrics.

Amsale formal wear can be seen on celebrities like Kim Basinger, Salma Hayek, Julianna Margulies, and Vanessa Williams
