Wedding Dress Inpiration | RIME ARODAKY

Since I am working on wedding dresses, my eyes naturally go towards beautiful gowns as I browse through the internet. I wanted to share this French designer, Rime Arodaky. Her designs are beautiful – free spirited, beautiful shape to flatter your body and unexpected back details and cut outs. If you’ve been reading my blog, you know how I have a weak spot for cutouts!

I wish to bring this kind of wedding dresses to Japanese market. Many Japanese brides go for princessy, 18th century ball gown-ish, puffy wedding dresses. The part of the reasons seem like that is what is mostly available in the market. It is more common for the brides to do the rental wedding dresses in Japan, and the dress boutiques have more of the princess line, fluffly dresses than simple A-line or mermaid dresses. Perhaps another reason is the body type – it might be hard to pull off the dresses like Rime Arodaky’s if you are short like many Asian girls are. Whatever the reasons maybe, I would like to bring more of this kind of dresses to Japan as I think they are beautiful and comfortable. You don’t want to spend your wedding day being uncomfortable!

P.S. My past bridal gown work can be viewed here. Also my etsy shop here.

    If the bride is slender and the proportions are right I think a dress like that would look lovely even if she is short. I don’t think many people look good in a drop waist though.

      I agree. Dropped waist is hard to pull off!

    These are so, so beautiful! I wish I had seen designs like these before I got married!

      Me too. I was young and did not have much money or choices!

    Oh these are georgeous! I hope you get your wish too as I think these would look lovely on shorter girls too, (I’d love one and I’m short )

      Hi Sarah! I think the high waisted ones look great on shorter girls too! I’m not tall (5’5) but I wore a mermaid dress:)

    Oh my goodness! They are perfect! I’d wear them just like that! Well, maybe a little bit shorter 🙂

Made this midi dress from a washable kanoko-patterned red kimono👘✨
From the front, it looks like a classic cache-coeur dress — but turn around, and there's a chic, round cut-out in the back.
Layer it with a jacket or cardigan for an easy everyday look🧥🌿
Features a V-neckline, subtle tucks at the waist, a clean I-line silhouette, and puff sleeves with an open back for a modern twist🌸

A stunning bustier featuring a bold red base with delicate gold maple leaf patterns.
This one-of-a-kind piece is crafted from upcycled obi fabric, adding a unique touch of Japanese tradition.

The soft, curved neckline creates a feminine, elegant silhouette.

Perfect for parties and special events, it’s sure to turn heads wherever you go.
It’s also a great way to subtly showcase Japanese culture during your travels abroad 🇯🇵✨

This piece makes a statement on its own, but you can also layer it for different vibes:
— Over a shirt for a vest-style look
— As an inner piece under a cardigan
— Or layered over a turtleneck sweater in winter for a chic seasonal outfit.

✔️ Note: Not washable, so it’s especially suited for autumn and winter 🍂
✔️ The back features a lace-up design with ribbon details—gorgeous from every angle 🎀

Dress it up for a party or dress it down with jeans for an effortlessly stylish look.
Enjoy styling this unique piece your own way 💫
