What is Maggie Sottero?

Maggie Sottero is a bridal fashion house that designs wedding gowns across three labels: Maggie Sottero, Sottero and Midgley and Rebecca Ingram. Founded in 1997, the family-owned and women-led company has design studios in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Sydney, Australia.

History

The business started as a small boutique in Sydney. Co-founder and designer Lesley Margaret "Maggie" Webster adopted the Maggie Sottero name when the core brand launched, and her daughter Kelly Midgley now leads the company as CEO. The couture line Sottero and Midgley followed in 2006, and the more accessible Rebecca Ingram label in 2016.
