Celebrate the new couture of romance — strength in artistry, contemporary in expression, with a spirited poetry of bridal design.
Introducing a new beginning for O M Couture. Born from an avant-garde take on romance — beauty, artistry, strength and delight are woven together, transcending the cliché. OUMA takes us into the future as we continue to create meaningful, enriching moments for brides and bridal lovers alike.
With over 16 years spent designing, founder and design director Ou Ma has carried the same emphasis on why and how she approaches design since the beginning. Valuing the intrinsic importance of creating moments that a bride gets to call their own, as well as handing the wearer the confidence to become whoever they want to be. OUMA was born to represent our core, our values and our mission. Celebrating the art of femininity and providing you with the opportunity to create your ideal, significant moment.”
OUMA Atelier: Inside the OUMA couture atelier, located in Vancouver, Canada, a high level of discernment is applied to our zero-waste practices to tailor our unique dresses, separates and accessories.
A Moment to Become campaign: A Moment to Become is about a meaningful, enriching moment. Born from the sentiment that the dress is a moment — more than just beautiful fabric and artistry — the dress makes you feel something.
Bridal dresses are often associated with a very significant, monumental moment in a human’s life. The moment and the dress are a vessel for whatever that human wants to fill it with. Does the wearer want their moment to feel empowered, soft, delicate, ethereal, elaborate, over the top — and why? Do they want to feel like they’ve finally become their own person, like they’ve grown, or stepped into a whole new chapter?
The dress is a moment for them to finally see themselves in their highest light and empowered state, to take centre stage in the dream for themselves, in the unique way which they individually choose. At OUMA we believe in creating a moment, not a dress.
L’envie Collection (2023)
An 8 piece couture bridal collection featuring our signature emphasis on texture, artistic elements and unconventional shape. Celebrating the juxtaposition of past, present and future.
“During the inception of this collection, I was going through a time in my life where I found myself looking back at what first beckoned me to create. A period of reminiscing about the sleekness I’d seen on the runways growing up in the 90s, married with the textures and silhouettes that brought the softness I was always drawn to from old Hollywood. Pursuing my desire for self-discovery and answering to the déjà vu I was experiencing, I started to design pieces that created a juxtaposition between past and present. A collection that instilled a new sense of creative prioritization, and redefined for me what actualizing my lifetime of personal inspiration should feel like. ” – Ou Ma, Design Director & Founder
