Emma by Punk Rock Bride is a new line of wedding dresses designed with the budget-savvy bride in mind. Each dress is priced under $1,000 and may be purchased either on-site or online. The collection incorporates a mix of nontraditional fabrics and fashion-forward details while maintaining simple classic silhouettes.


We like that the lightweight fabrics, which include silk chiffon and silk cotton, travel well, making the dresses especially ideal for a destination wedding. We also LOVE the sweet story behind the collection's name, Emma. Designer Stephanie Ward's great aunt was Teresa Emma, an Italian dressmaker in Philadelphia who, in the 1960s, designed and sewed wedding dresses for brides and entire wedding parties out of her home. Punk Rock Bride's latest line pays homage to this dynamite woman's love of fashion and her passion for providing brides with a personal and unique wedding dress experience.
