Kelly Faetanini

Kelly Faetanini is a New York City bridal designer known for feminine, romantic gowns that take classic shapes and give them a modern edge. Her flagship atelier is at 41 Wooster Street in SoHo, and her designs are also sold through stockists and at trunk shows.

Why she suits LGBTQ+ couples

If one or both of you plan to wear a gown, the SoHo atelier offers one-on-one appointments with a stylist, in a calm room set up to feel more like a well-stocked closet than a busy bridal shop. The pace is unhurried and the team guides rather than pushes, which helps if you want to try different looks without pressure. A choice of several lines also gives you room to compare looks before you decide.

What they offer

• Seasonal collections, including Eternal, Reign and Elysian
• Signature Styles that stay in the range across seasons
• Liv by KF, KF Curve and KF Minis lines
• Design customizations agreed at your fitting
• Trunk shows and a store finder for stockists

How they work

Appointments at the flagship are one-on-one, with a stylist helping you narrow down shapes and fabrics. The gowns are built with structure, including corsetry for support, so they flatter the figure and stay comfortable through a long day. Where you want a change to a design, the team agrees it with you and sets the order timeline from the start.

Where they cover

The atelier is in SoHo, Manhattan, a short walk from Canal Street and Spring Street stations. Outside New York, you can find the gowns through stockists using the store finder on the website, or at trunk shows held with partner stores.
