Nestled within the Over The Moon shop inside The Charleston Place, Eddy hosted an intimate preview of its newest bridal collection on Thursday evening. Co-hosted alongside Over The Moon and Easton Events, the event offered Charleston brides and industry insiders an opportunity to view the collection up close in a setting designed for conversation and discovery.

Racks of the new designs lined the space, allowing guests like Naomie Olindo, Charli Evans, and Landon Clements to study the silhouettes, fabrics, and detailing firsthand. Alice Marcuz of Created by Alice joined the evening with her signature charm bar, where attendees created custom keepsakes—a thoughtful complement to a collection rooted in personal history and craftsmanship.

The Eddy collection itself began in Paris. Last year, Becca Elledge—Eddy's Head of Brand and a 2026 bride-to-be—spent a week exploring flea markets, couture exhibits, and fabric shops throughout the 18th arrondissement before traveling to Italy to tour wedding venues. Vintage fabric clippings collected during that trip later informed several of the silhouettes and textile choices seen in this release.

Back in the studio, Becca worked closely with founder Megan Eddings Feely to further develop the concept. The team revisited mid-century couture archives, family wedding photographs, and dresses worn by multiple generations. “We were deep in jet lag . . . working late on the floor of our studio,” Megan recalls. “Becca pulled out a bag of scraps, ribbon, beads, and we just started playing. Mixing, matching, cutting. It felt like the origin story pulling through again.”

References to houses like Givenchy and Dior appear subtly throughout the collection. Becca cites a 1950s Givenchy campaign featuring Audrey Hepburn and Christian Dior’s early collections as visual touch points. One fabric in the forthcoming bridesmaid collection was inspired by a scrap discovered in Paris, echoing textiles used in the 1960s when Dior introduced the Medallion chair.

While the inspiration draws from the past, the execution is intentionally modern. “We wanted to take the structure, detail, and emotion of vintage bridal and bring it forward with modern ease,” Megan explains. Silhouettes balance structure with softness and are designed to move comfortably from ceremony to dinner to dance floor. Bridal, she notes, carries a distinct responsibility: “You’re designing for a memory. For photographs that will live forever.”

Throughout the preview, guests were encouraged to consider the collection not just for the aisle, but for the full wedding season—engagement celebrations, rehearsal dinners, courthouse moments, and beyond. The result is a lineup that feels informed by history yet grounded in wearability.

Above all, Eddy's newest bridal collection reflects their founding ethos: personal design, thoughtful construction, and pieces meant to hold meaning long after the event itself.
