Hi there! I’m starting a new FBNW post category called Under the Radar. In these posts, I’ll highlight designers and other wedding creatives doing *amazing* work that don’t have super wide visibility or follower counts (yet!)

So without further ado: our first Under the Radar is Halseene!

Halseene is a women-owned wedding wear company currently creating exclusively plus size bridal wear, with a mission “to empower all women to feel like they have the options needed in order to be their bold + badass self on their wedding day.” Pretty cool, right?

Halseene creates clean, modern boho gowns with occasional bold touches–like the Paloma’s incredible sequin skirt!

You can shop all of Halseene’s designs online. If you want to try on dresses IRL, they’re currently only available in Vancouver and Calgary flagship stores. But their website notes they’ll be available in a small handful US and UK stores soon.

Halseene’s gowns range from $2,400 – $2,700 and are made to order in size range 14-40. Their website notes they want to eventually include smaller sizes, but are “currently focusing on the segment of the market that is grossly underrepresented in our industry.” To which I say, rock on.

Who else in the wedding world deserves a shout out in Under the Radar? Let me know in the comments!
