Since we assume you’re already well-acquainted with the work of Vera, Monique, Oscar and their many top-tier bridal friends, we thought it was about time to introduce you to a new crop of designers who are beginning to make a name for themselves in the world of wedding gowns.

In the past couple of seasons, we’ve seen plenty of fresh faces break into the bridal market—and with these new designers comes unique perspectives and aesthetics that appeal to a wider range of brides-to-be.

By now you should know that we’re big fans of up-and-comers Inbal Dror (our editor Carrie wore one of her gorgeous gowns when she got married on New Year’s Eve; we squealed with delight when Queen Bey wore an Inbal Dror wedding dress to last month’s Grammys) and Mira Zwillinger (she’s featured in our Fall/Winter 2015 fashion spread), both of whom are included on Harper’s Bazaar‘s list of lesser known designers you should have on your radar.

Also on there: Christos Costarellos, a Greek designer who makes bohemian styles look incredibly elegant; Kaviar Gauche, a German brand geared toward young, modern brides; and Sabrina Dahan, who got her start at Monique Lhuillier.

Take a look through all of the newbies here—you may end up finding a new favorite.
