"Twice Upon a Time is my return home to the craft of bridal couture that made me whole. This is a defiant chapter in my story, built on humility, evolution, and honesty. Each gown was created with gratitude and awe that I get to do this (again) for a living: artful silhouettes, custom fabrics, and details that feel deeply personal, because that is exactly the kind of creativity and devotion this work deserves. I design for the bride who refuses to disappear into her dress, who’s worn every version of herself to get here, and chooses to honor exactly who she is." xo, Hayley Paige

These gowns aren’t about fitting into expectations, they’re about dresses that fit into you. Designed as wearable art, they invite you to discover what feels unexpected yet wholly yours: unapologetic yet precise, intuitive yet intentional.  

These gowns are more than design, they are poetry with a backbone. They move with you, honor who you’ve been, who you are now, and make space for who you’re becoming. Twice Upon a Time isn’t just about the dress or the day, it’s about the woman who dares to own her story and rewrite the chapter on her own terms.  

AFTER THE STORM

Multi-colored tulle ballgown with draped sweetheart bodice and irregular tiered skirt, finished with removable off-the-shoulder straps and a sweeping cathedral train.

From the designer: “After the Storm is my rainbow; a gown inspired from some of the most challenging moments in my career. During that time, I would take long walks just to clear my head, and almost every time, I’d catch sight of a rainbow: in the sky, in a sprinkler, reflected in a sunbeam. Those little moments reminded me that you have to put up with the rain to see the rainbow, and that everything, the good and the bad, is temporary. She’s a celebration of presence, of finding beauty where you are, of pausing to marvel when the light bends just right. A gown that wears her joy unapologetically, like the perfect end to a storm.” 

WINGARDIUM

Ivory cross-hatch organdy gown with sweetheart bodice, delicate spaghetti straps, and tailored waist detail. Floral embellishment dégradé at the bodice and hip, cascading into a full skirt with banding detail and a sweeping cathedral train.

From the designer:“AnamCara means ‘soul friend’ in Gaelic — a phrase that became something of a mantra for me when building my shoe business. After all, shoes have always been the ‘sole’ friend to my dresses. This gown draws inspiration from the laser-cut Jardin Rodin shoes, with their delicate, rose-like motifs climbing a lattice — equal parts refined and wild. I love that interplay here: the perfect tension between the geometriccross-hatchorgandy and the soft floral appliqué. The tailored cummerbund-style waist defines thesilhouette beautifully, while the sweetheart neckline frames the collarbone and lends softness to the architectural texture.She’sromantic yet precise, floral yet graphic — a soulful study in duality.”

ANAM CARA

Orchideous beaded and embroidered tulle ballgown with ivory floral embellishment, plunging V-neckline framed in rhinestone trim, and side cutouts. A-line skirt in orchideous tulle with a subtle dégradé effect and dimensional embroidery.

From the designer:“Wingardium was always meant to feel like a spell well-cast — weightless yet powerful, luminous ethereal. The dimensional floral embroidery creates an almost levitating effect over the tulle, and the subtledégradéshading at the hem gives her just the right amount of enchantment....and shall we sayleviosa? I knew she needed a plunging front neckline for added spectacle, edged in delicate rhinestone trim; it frames the face and elongates the line beautifully while catching the light like a flick of a wand. She’salso a rare kind of chameleon, offered in four distinct color stories, including the multi-hued Lumos variation, which splashes soft color like magic mid-air. A gown that’s at once airy and arresting — exactly as a spell should be.”
