Simple yet unique wedding dresses specifically designed for the romantic, relaxed, and free-spirited Bride celebrating her effortless beauty and love, and symbolizing both the untouchable purity of a princess and the regal perfection of a queen. First-of-March is the second child of designers Marjorie van der Merwe and Esté Chambers, owners of Hoiden Bridesmaids. Hoiden started as a casual wear l
abel 5 years ago and later developed into a label specifically focused on trendy bridesmaids dresses. Soon it became clear that there was a need for wedding dresses specifically focused for the Bride who isn't interested in the elaborate wedding, or traditional setting. The type of Bride who wouldn't mind walking barefoot and most importantly the Bride who really is only interested in seeing her new hubby's proud smile down the aisle. First-of-March dresses were specifically designed to be comfortable, yet on-trend and most importantly affordable. We strive to make our designs as budget friendly as possible. Why the name First-of-March? Both Marjorie and Esté were born on 1 March 1988. Its also the first day of a beautiful new season. For the South it's the first day of Autumn and for the North it's Spring. With this symbolizing the first day of a new chapter for the happy couple. Our first collection the Whisper Collection will be available at the House of Hoiden aswell as Bridal Aisle in Cape Town from 1 October.
