Muna Coterie gown designer Lee Jerome by Whitney Stephenson (owner of Mahogany Brown Bridal) debuted her latest Bridgerton Collection in a classic-meets-modern photoshoot showcasing the essence of “Elegance Unveiled.”
Each bride and groom featured was “a vision of timeless elegance,” wearing custom gowns and tux ensembles that speak to both tradition and individuality, with modern, contemporary twists.
Beautifully captured by Nathan Reece and Jairon Robinson at the 21c Museum Hotel Cincinnati, each look is available at Whitney’s bridal boutique, Mahogany Brown Bridal, in historic downtown Concord, North Carolina.
Embodying the slogan, “Where Melanin and Marriage Unite,” Mahogany Brown Bridal exclusively sells Black-owned brands and minority designers, allowing underrepresented creatives to take center stage.
Showcasing minority brands is important, as it addresses the under-representation of diverse backgrounds in the bridal market. By offering designers who reflect the diversity of brides, we create a space where all brides can find gowns that resonate with their unique identities.
