Brides and bridal fashion insiders gathered in Omaha, Nebraska, for a truly unforgettable evening as Hayley Paige unveiled her highly anticipated comeback collection, Twice Upon a Time, at a trunk show hosted by Rhylan Lang Bridal Studio. The event, aptly titled Toast to Tulle & New Beginnings, transformed the boutique into a celebration of Paige's resilience and creative eye for design, with whimsical floral installations, racks of couture wedding dresses, hand-sketched gown illustrations and an interactive lineup of experiences — including a signature cocktail, photo booth and custom sketches signed by Paige herself. Guests mingled among breathtaking gowns (some white, some ivory and some a waterfall of color), sipping champagne while meeting the designer — who stunned in a chic teal set — as she personally introduced her first bridal collection in five years. The night was a show-stopping showcase of the designer's enduring artistry, perfectly representing Paige's bold reintroduction to the bridal fashion world.
Amidst the celebration, Paige reflected on her creative journey, her design philosophy and the meaning behind Twice Upon a Time. Below, she shares candid insight into her comeback collection and the future of her brand with wedding and fashion photojournalist, Julie Trinh.
