As if she needed any encouragement about her chosen field, this Montreal-born Ryerson grad was named Canada’s Best Wedding Gown Designer by Wedding Bells magazine in 2019. A textile-obsessive, Catherine conjures the wearable masterpieces for her eponymous bridal collection in everything from French lace to silk satin to Italian crepe to chiffon, with ineffably romantic accents of beading, ribbon or silver thread.

Wedding specialist Catherine Langlois cites a backlash to bridal wear’s recent minimalist trend for inspiring the unabashed romanticism of her Cashmere Collection Masquerade Ball gown and elaborate mask. And perfectly in sync with this year’s 16th Century Venetian Masquerade Ball theme, she adds, “Especially now, brides want an escape from reality, something pretty from another time.”
