The Team Behind the Design
Van Der Velde purchased the well renowned Matthew Christopher wedding dress company in 2019. The Matthew Christopher design team was well known for luxury fabrics, delicate couture laces and inner dress structure producing amazing fit. William Van Der Velde works closely with the original Matthew Christopher design team to create vibrant looks that bring a subtle “Old Hollywood” vibe to the modern bride.
