Ricca Sposa is based in Ukraine, and we have been in business for over 13 years. We started in 2011 with a passion for creating beautiful bridal and eveningwear, and since then, we have grown to be a leading name in the industry and have representation in over 55 countries

2) Tell us about your background that led you to become a bridal and eveningwear designer?

My passion for bridal and eveningwear grew from my desire to create garments that reflect a woman's individuality and elegance. 

The journey of our brand began 13 years ago with a dream. 

Despite tirelessly searching through countless wedding gowns, I couldn’t find the perfect dress for my big day. I was dreaming about something truly special and unique. It was then that I made the decision to establish my own production and create a brand that would be unrivaled in its elegance and sophistication. 

The brand was an instant success within Ukraine, and after being presented at international bridal shows, Ricca Sposa rapidly became a beloved global brand.

Creating each dress for me is like chasing a new dream, someone’s dream, a dress which will be the one for the bride.
