BARBARA KAVCHOK

BRIDAL

At Barbara Kavchok Bridal, we believe fashion is fine art.

It should be cared for, paid attention to, and honored in a way that authentically represents the person wearing it. Indulging in a garment that makes you look and feel like your best self is a luxury that everyone should be able to enjoy on their wedding day.

Led by designer Barbara Kavchok, our close-knit team is dedicated to providing artistry and craftsmanship, combined with all of our unique talents,

to help our clients feel understood through pieces of wearable art.

From the first cut to the final stitch, each wedding dress is hand-crafted ethically and sustainably at our studio in Historic Bethlehem, PA, USA.

Our mission is to handcraft wedding gowns that go beyond mere garments, but rather, become the very embodiment of the unique personality and individuality of each wearer. We are committed to merging the worlds of fashion and fine art as we create gowns that will be cherished for a lifetime, passed down as heirlooms, and treasured for generations to come. Barbara Kavchok Bridal is more than a brand;

it's a celebration of love, artistry, and self-expression.

Meet the designer

Barbara Kavchok grew up watching her mother, the woman behind the successful luxury bridal brand Eugenia Couture, create exquisite gowns for countless brides. An artist at heart, Barbara earned her bachelor’s in fine art and illustration at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia. After college, she continued her classical fine art training at the esteemed Barnstone Studios year-long intensive program. She worked as a mural painter and fine artist before discovering her true passion for designing refreshing pieces of wearable art for the modern bride while working as an apprentice for Eugenia Couture. Years later Barbara took on the role of Chief Designer at Eugenia Couture and in 2016 she celebrated the launch of her own brand— Barbara Kavchok Couture. Today, she fuses her classical fine art background with her design expertise to continue her mother’s legacy and run a successful bridal brand for the expressive, unapologetic romantic. Barbara Kavchok’s design atelier is located in Historic Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, USA where she and her skilled team of artists ethically and sustainably hand-craft each garment.
