Effortlessly Chic: Everything You Need to Know About Lis Simon Bridal
If you’re a modern bride dreaming of effortless sophistication, stylish simplicity, and a gown that feels uniquely you, let us introduce you to one of our favorite designers at La Mariée: Lis Simon. This beloved Canadian bridal label is all about elegance, versatility, and contemporary design — without the jaw-dropping price tag.
Known for their clean lines, modern glamour, and extensive customization options, Lis Simon gowns are the perfect match for the bride who wants both beauty and practicality. Whether you're a minimalist at heart or someone looking to tweak every detail of your dress to reflect your personal style, Lis Simon offers gowns that are as flexible as they are fabulous.
The Story Behind Lis Simon Bridal
Founded in 2009 and based in Calgary, Alberta, Lis Simon began with a clear mission: to offer beautifully made, fashion-forward wedding dresses at a more accessible price point. The brand was created for brides who wanted more than what mass-produced labels could offer — but without the unattainable price of high-end couture.
Lis Simon quickly gained a loyal following for their elegant and contemporary bridal gowns that cater to a modern bride's aesthetic. Their approach to design is fresh, thoughtful, and always evolving with trends — but never in a way that feels overly trendy. Think of it as style with staying power.
What’s more? Lis Simon is still a woman-founded, independently owned label with production that happens on a made-to-order basis — meaning each dress is crafted just for you.
The Signature Look: Clean, Elegant, and Confident
Lis Simon’s signature style is easy to spot — and easy to fall in love with. Their gowns are designed for the bride who loves refined silhouettes, understated glamour, and a little dose of drama in all the right places.
From sleek crepe fit-and-flares to architectural A-lines and soft, flowing chiffon styles, every Lis Simon dress combines structure and softness in a way that feels strikingly modern. The gowns walk the line between romantic and fashion-forward, offering something for both the classic bride and the bold, trend-aware bride.
You’ll also find thoughtful details like statement sleeves, sculptural necklines, detachable overskirts, and sexy-but-sophisticated cutouts that allow brides to feel fashion-forward without compromising on timeless appeal.
Fabric & Fit: Luxe Materials That Feel as Good as They Look
One of the reasons we love Lis Simon at La Mariée? The quality of the fabrics. Every gown is made with care using premium bridal materials like stretch crepe, silk-like satin, soft chiffon, statement lace, tulle, and mikado. These aren’t just beautiful to look at — they’re thoughtfully chosen for comfort, movement, and that unmistakable bridal glow.
Lis Simon gowns are also known for their flattering construction. Built with real brides in mind, they prioritize comfort and fit. The internal structure is supportive but never stiff, allowing brides to move freely — and dance the night away — while still feeling secure in their gown. And yes, Lis Simon gowns are size-inclusive, with most styles available from size 0 to 28+.
Incredible Customization Options: Your Dress, Your Way
This is where Lis Simon truly shines. Customization is at the heart of everything they do.
Want to change the neckline? Add sleeves? Swap out a skirt? Merge two gowns into one? With Lis Simon, that’s all possible — and it’s one of the many reasons our brides love this collection. In fact, most Lis Simon gowns are designed with interchangeable bodices and skirts, making it easy to mix and match to create a custom look that’s all your own. You can:
Adjust the neckline or add buttons
Choose your preferred fabric (like lace or crepe)
Add or remove a train
Combine two different silhouettes
Add detachable details like sleeves or bows
Choose from fully custom size measurements
It’s bridal made for you — not just chosen by you. And because the design and production team is hands-on and collaborative, you’ll know your vision is in trusted, talented hands. This flexibility makes Lis Simon an incredible choice for the bride who doesn’t quite fit into the “off-the-rack” box or who dreams of something one-of-a-kind without going full couture.
Who Is the Lis Simon Bride?
We see a wide range of brides fall in love with Lis Simon, but there are a few common threads that define the Lis Simon woman:
She’s modern, chic, and understated — with an eye for clean lines and good tailoring.
She values comfort and elegance, equally.
She wants a gown that feels true to her personality, not overly fussy or trend-heavy.
She appreciates having options and values the ability to make small (or big) changes to fit her vision.
And most importantly — she wants to look and feel like herself on her wedding day, just elevated.
Whether you're planning a city celebration, a vineyard wedding, or an intimate mountaintop elopement, there’s a Lis Simon gown that will feel completely at home.
