The IRIS COLLECTION 2012,  named after the part of the eye that gives the eye color, hence, the IRIS is composed of 17 unique and beautiful dresses. The gown's names of this collection were derived after their respective color names in the five romance languages of French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian and Spanish. The IRIS COLLECTION 2012 is a bold statement not only in the 17 designs, but also in the use of COLOR in accessories! In his most ambitious and beautiful collection yet, the IRIS COLLECTION will unveil Monday, May 2, 2011 on his website www.jorgemanuelweddings.com!

Color of LOVE...IRIS COLLECTION 2012 campaign COMING SOON!


10 days till the unveiling of the IRIS COLLECTION 2011
by bridal designer JORGE MANUEL 
Jorge Manuel begins his countdown to May 1, 2011 when brides around the world will feast their eyes on what promises to be the designer's best bridal collection! In 10 days brides will discover the power of COLOR in the designer's 17 dresses named after a specific color with an incredible flair of 'exotic romanticism'. 

The Collection took one year to make and the color concept inspired Jorge Manuel to create a fascinating world of color for the 2012-2013 brides. The gowns in the IRIS COLLECTION 2012 represents a color named after its literal translation from the five romantic languages of Latin (Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, and Romanian).

"There is such power in color! Everything that moves us has to do with color and I want for the first time in bridal history to bring in Color into a brides attire. I have seen the envelope pushed with color shoes that hide underneath their dresses. Let's throw out that envelope and  let those gorgeous colors show! Bring them out from under the gowns! It is ok to style with color accessories for your wedding too! The trend has far too long been the traditional look, but tradition doesn't have to be boring! I hope that this collection opens many new doors for discriminating brides who truly want to make a statement on their wedding day. The COLOR OF LOVE will move brides from around the world with this concept of accessorizing their gorgeous wedding gowns with color!" - Jorge Manuel
