Like a fabulous work of art, it’s impossible to miss a bridal gown by RIVINI. A menswear designer for Lacoste Canada in the mid-80s, designer Rita Vinieris has always appreciated classic design.

Disappointed by the fluffy, oversized gowns available in bridal salons during the 80’s, many of Rita’s friends asked the designer to create custom bridal ensembles. Even in the overindulgence of this decade, Rita Vinieris created simple yet chic gowns.

The popularity of her work soon led to the founding of the RIVINI bridal house, in 1995. A visionary, Rita Vinieris saw a niche in the market for women like herself that sought clean, tailored silhouettes. Her no-frills design philosophy resonates with today’s bride who seeks elegance in simplicity. Brides simply demand Rivini.

What inspires this humble award-winning bridal designer? “I love beautiful things,” said Rita Vinieris. “My inspiration is ongoing. The elements that sustain life,the beauty in detail, and the spirit of my children inspire me to create. I love watching the evolution of design and finding glamour in unexpected places.”

Because of RIVINI, thousands of brides feel beautiful on their wedding day, and true to their personal sense of style.
