While many brides dream of walking down the aisle in a traditional white dress, fashion designer Madison Chamberlain has thrown open the window to let in the light from a dazzling rainbow of colors, fantastic array of fabrics and textures, and imaginative, inspired design. The Thomas Jefferson University Class of 2017 alumna empowers nontraditional brides to dare to dream of a magical wedding featuring glorious, customized, one-of-a-kind gowns and veils.
A visit to her website, TikTok or Instagram features a peek into a fashion fairy tale resplendent with everything under the sun, from sequins to tulle, ruffles to metallics — flowers to hearts. Brides will see words like “joyful,” veils with the names “moonbeam” and “darling,” and find welcome and acceptance, no matter their size or design dreams.
Chamberlain doesn’t take her role in designing dresses lightly. “So much of what I do is run a business,” she says. “And that comes with trials and tribulations, headaches, stress, fear and all the things. But I feel most proud when we show things to the clients, and they cry and feel so moved. I start crying every time as well. It’s so emotional and cool to see things that you create evoke that emotion. At the end of the day, that’s the goal as a designer, right? You want to make people feel things.”
To this day, Chamberlain uses — and values —lessons she learned and challenges she conquered while in Jefferson’s fashion design program.
“They really asked a lot of us, but in a good way,” she says. “They expected a lot with the workload, with managing your time and with presenting something you worked on and pushed yourself through.”
