Santina unveils first bridal collection

 Dream, delicate and definitely bridal season approved is how best I can describe the newly unveiled bridal collection by designer Santina Anshemeza. The collection, which is her first-ever bridal collection, marks a significant milestone in her career as she shifts from couture to bridal wear.

The designer turned to four powerful women on the Ugandan entertainment scene including Miss Uganda Hannah Karema, Lillian Mbabazi, and Natasha Sinayobye to showcase the newly released collection. Known for her glamorous designs, Anshemeza has captivated audiences on the fashion scene in Uganda with her intricate detailing and elegant aesthetics. Her venture into bridal is a natural evolution that showcases her commitment to creating timeless pieces for women who want their wedding attire to feel as unique and special as the day itself.

Anshemeza’s bridal collection combines classic bridal elements with her signature couture touch, blending traditional silhouettes that push the boundaries of conventional bridal fashion. The collection features everything from elegant A-line gowns to more dramatic ballgowns and figure-hugging mermaid cuts, providing a versatile range of options for brides with varied tastes. However, it’s the unique detailing that truly sets her pieces apart. Each gown is adorned with intricate beadwork, luxurious lace, and hand-sewn embellishments that add an extra layer of sophistication.

The details on the gowns are a nod to current bridal fashion trends, where designers are experimenting with unconventional elements to give brides more creative expression in their wedding attire. Paired with fitted bodices, the details on the gowns add a romantic and dreamy vibe to the dresses, making them ideal for brides who want a look that feels both regal and contemporary.

Anshemeza’s background in couture is evident in her attention to detail and commitment to quality. She utilizes only the finest fabrics, ensuring that each gown feels as luxurious as it looks. The intricate lacework, delicate appliqués, and skillfully crafted layers reflect her expertise and dedication to craftsmanship, elements that will undoubtedly resonate with brides seeking one-of-a-kind gowns.

The collection also includes convertible pieces—a trend that has gained popularity among brides seeking versatility. These designs allow brides to effortlessly transition their look from the ceremony to the reception, with detachable skirts and sleeves that add an element of surprise. This feature speaks to the modern bride’s desire for functionality without compromising style.

If this collection us anything to go by, it is safe to say that she is going to slowly but surely set her mark on the bridal scene in Uganda.
