Designed: Meet White Dresses Designer Heidi Elnora

Meet Heidi Elnora, the designer behind the Build a Bride Collection offered at both White Dresses Huntsville and White Dresses Nashville

Here at White Dresses, we are obsessed with our Alabama designer - Heidi Elnora. Heidi's personality is contagious - making her one of those people you just can't help but love! We are so excited to be able to share a little history about Heidi on our blog today. 

Heidi Elnora has become one of the premiere bridal dress designers in the United States. Her journey began upon graduation from Savannah College of Art and Design in 2002 where Heidi was taught the couture techniques of the fashion industry. Heidi's passion for couture and the creation of timeless pieces resulted in the establishment of Heidi Elnora, the brand, in 2006. Following the footprints of great designers before her, a Heidi Elnora wedding dress is recognized by the quality in construction, fine attention to detail, and feminine relevance. 

Based in Alabama, the Heidi Elnora brand is focused on being a personal and honest company, helping to create gowns that bride's fall in love with while staying true to their Southern roots. We are absolutely ecstatic to have Heidi's designs in both our Huntsville bridal shop and Nashville bridal shop locations. 

Owners of both our Nashville bridal shop and Huntsville bridal shop weighed in on why they love Heidi Elnora. 

When selecting gowns for our Nashville bridal boutique, we couldn’t resist the versatility of Heidi Elnora’s Build a Bride Collection. The collection offers amazing base dresses that are gorgeous on their own, but the beauty of the collection comes through the accessories that allow our brides to create custom wedding looks that perfectly match their venue and style. We are so proud to host this amazing line at our Tennessee bridal shop!

Heidi Elnora is the epitome of southern elegance and I am so happy that our Nashville bridal shop has the opportunity to carry this amazing designer. Giving our brides the freedom to be their own designer, Heidi has created a truly special line that any Southern bride can appreciate - whether that bride wants a simple gown or the most extravagant gown available!

Our Huntsville bridal boutique is so excited to pair with Heidi Elnora and represent her gowns in Northern Alabama. Heidi’s line is perfect for the bride who wants the ability to create something truly unique.

White Dresses loves every gown designed by Heidi Elnora, but each of our shop owners weighed in on their favorite Heidi Elnora gowns. 

It is no secret that Ella and I love ball gowns. So, it is easy to pick a favorite for us from the line! We absolutely adore the Katie Grace gown from the Build a Bride line and knew it would be perfect at our shop from the minute we saw her! We love the gorgeous scoop neckline and who can say no to a gown with pockets?!?

Each gown is truly gorgeous from Heidi, but my favorite from the Build a Bride line would have to be the Coco Marie. I love the classic lines the gown offers and the princess seaming is sure to flatter any figure! I also love this piece because it is so easy to build on and it can transform into so many different options!
