Reem Acra

In designing my bridal collections, I love mixing luxe fabrics, which give the most beautiful texture and dimension to my creations.

Try everything on, even gowns that you don't think you'll love. You might be surprised and fall in love with a gown that you weren't drawn to at first.

When I took on the title sponsorship of the Western European League and the World Cup Final in October 2010, I did it because I love the sport and I love horses. It has proved to be a perfect match for the Reem Acra brand.

I like to do things that are step by step. It takes experience to get to the next level. And you have to put your heart into it.

I advise women to live their life to their fullest, invest in who you want to be and live it well.

I'm sure that everyone who goes into fashion always dreams of having a perfume, since it completes the brand and exposes it in a different way.

Yes, there are obstacles as a woman; there is no doubt about it.

I come from a specific area in Beirut where it's multicultural, and it's a culture that blends with multiple cultures - it's unbelievable lifestyle.

The more traditional bride still prefers white or ivory, but the young girls... seem to like the idea of using colors.

My friends are my inspiration, and all of them are true friends that support me. On a daily basis, I know that I have my friends to rely on.

Your wedding is your red carpet moment, and while brides definitely can take some chances with style, you don't want to look like a fad.

Barbie has always been an inspiration. Dressing her was part of ever girl's dream.
