EDITOR’S TAKE

Bridal wear that’s not only runway ready, but wearable for any occasion! That’s what makes Botanical Symmetry a game-changer. I adore fashion (of course), but it’s been a while since I’ve been genuinely moved by it. Listen up, everyone: Botanical Symmetry is exactly what spring and summer fashion should embody. Amanda has crafted the perfect bridal looks that double as evening, gala, party, and girls' day out attire. Absolutely mind-blowing.

Her attention to detail on the runway is immaculate; the placement of every pearl tells its own story. And let’s talk about those leather bags! The precision, the design, perfection. Amanda, I applaud you, well done.

Amanda Vereb, Owner and Head Workhorse of The Iron Horse Atelier in Pittsburgh, Pa, started her own couture line under her name. Amanda has been involved in the fashion industry since graduating college in 2010 and has been in the wedding industry for 12 years. She has fashioned herself as one of the top tailors in Pittsburgh.

Her inspiration came from the floral and geometric fabrics she sourced in NYC this past October.

In "Botanical Symmetry," couture meets nature in an exquisite fusion of floral elegance and geometric precision. Each garment in this collection is meticulously crafted to celebrate the harmony between the organic and the structured.

The color palette reflects the vibrant hues found in nature's own canvas. Soft whites and cream along with powder blue evoke the delicate petals of blossoming flowers. Contrasted with sleek metallic accents in gold and silver, the collection exudes a sense of opulence and refinement.

Luxurious silks, organzas, and light spring wool serve as the canvas for this couture journey. Delicate lace overlays with pearl details adding dimension and texture. Each fabric is carefully selected to enhance the interplay between fluidity and structure, creating a tactile experience that is both sensual and sophisticated.

The silhouettes are a study in balance and proportion, blending feminine curves with architectural lines. Meticulously pleated skirts are adorned with oversized floral appliqués, while tailored silhouettes are embellished with intricate geometric pearl beading. Structured corsets and bodices create a sculptural effect, accentuating the natural beauty of the female form.
