Savannah Miller x Stone Fox Bride – The 2016 Bridal Collection
Happy Friday, foxes!
So, let’s start at the beginning: first of all, we are HUGE fans of the Miller girls (I mean, who isn’t right?!). Yes, of course, Sienna, but in equal measure, her über cool, free-spirited sister, Savannah.
Second? We HEART (like in a borderline obsessive way) American bohemian ‘it girl’ designer, Stone Fox Bride’s Molly Guy. If you don’t follow her on Pinterest, get on board!
Now ladies, let me warn you, what you’re about to witness will probably blow your sweet minds (in a totally good way)… What do y’all think happened when British, chic-while-casj, Savannah, met NYC’s Stone Fox Bride?
Think mellow, meaningful designs, an oasis of bohemian sex appeal all with an undeniably British edge!
Wanna hear more about this incredible collaboration?! You better! Let’s chat to the babe herself, Molly…
What inspired you both to get into fashion design, specifically bridal fashion…
I didn’t come from a fashion background. Savannah has her own line with her sister and used to be Alexander McQueen’s assistant, she has the chicest style. I feel like I am a writer first and foremost, but when I was looking for wedding dresses back when I got engaged I couldn’t find something cool. I was overwhelmed by the pomp and circumstance and the ugly fluff at all of the places I looked. We both are really into fashion, great design, gorgeous gowns, and foxy women.
Who is a Stone Fox Bride…
A Stone Fox Bride is someone who feels good in the skin they’re in and wants to show that off at their wedding, whether its in a vintage high neck lace Edwardian dress or a slinky silk gown a la Carolyn Bessette.
How do you approach creating a wedding dress…
Inspiration is huge here at SFB. We take breaks from work to pour over magazines, Pinterest, books, newspapers, you name it. We have a huge mood board in our office that’s ever changing. There’s really more of a feeling behind each of our dresses, we know it’s a hit when we all get goosebumps at the thought.
How did the collaboration between you come about and what’s the inspiration behind the collection…
When I was googling wedding inspo back when I was planning my wedding – we didn’t have Pinterest, I literally was Google imaging dresses – I came across Savannah’s hippie bacchanalian wedding.
It was a true bohemian dream and the coolest wedding I had ever seen. I immediately screenshotted it. We connected a few years later on Instagram. I joked around about doing a collaborate because what could be a better match for SFB? She was down and months later we debuted Savannah x SFB – a gorgeous line of dresses that bring together that moody English garden party vibe with downtown NYC chic.
Tell us about the fabrics you chose for the collection…
All of our fabrics are sourced and the dresses are made here in NYC.
If you both had to choose one dress from the collection as your favourite, which one would it be and why…
I love the Lyra, the sexiest silhouette in a dreamy velvet. Perfect for a New Year’s wedding.

Where can our UK brides find out more about the collection…
As of right now we don’t stock in the UK, but stay tuned…
What are your trend predictions for bridal fashion in 2016…
Simple. We’re moving away from layers and crazy silhouettes. The fabrics will speak for themselves. Here at SFB we’re really into embroidery and clean lines for the upcoming collection.
The Paloma
Which song best represents the collection…
In the Pines – Nirvana
What’s the best piece of advice you can give a bride when it comes to searching for that her dress…
Come with someone you really trust and who makes you feel beautiful, but will be honest with you. Stay hydrated, only do a couple appointments at a time, have a good lunch in between, and don’t start drinking until you’re done.
And at the end of the day, screw everyone else; it’s your dress.
Finally, what is your life quote or mantra…
The love you take is equal to the love you make
The Dree
Everything. Literally EVERYTHING about this collab is just so, so right!
For real though, if I was getting married right now, I’d be all about the Bali! That train down the back has me, heart and soul!
Which is your favourite? Drop us a comment, we wanna know! In the meantime, we’ll keep you posted about SFB‘s arrival in the UK. Like you, I’m sure, we’re beyond excited about this brand!
Have yourselves a sweet weekend foxes, and we’ll see you the flip side!
Peace Love
Clare XO
