Catherine Rayner (designer)

Catherine Rayner was a British fashion designer specialising in wedding dresses.

Her designs in 1999 were admired for "classic elegance and romantic flair" and noted for their very fitted bodices and flattering cuts.[1] One of her gowns, in bead-embroidered satin, was chosen by Sandra Boler, the editor of Brides magazine, along with a bridegroom's outfit by Tom Gilbey to represent 1995's Dress of the Year in the Fashion Museum, Bath's collection.[1][2] Another of her designs, a pale pink strapless dress, is included in the Victoria and Albert Museum's fashion collection, and featured on the poster for their major Wedding Dress exhibition in 2014.[3]
