the designers behind the brand

FRANCESCA GUZZO-WHYTE

A renowned name in the bridal space, Francesca Guzzo-Whyte has been dressing brides for more than 40 years.

At the age of 25, Francesca opened her first Atelier with her sister in Yorkville. Soon after they debuted their eponymous line, GUZZO and were one of the first Canadian designers to show at Bridal week in New York City in 1991. Carving a niche for herself in the market through meticulous craftsmanship and her relationships with brides, GUZZO was a mainstay at premier North American retailers.

Today, Francesca’s relationships with brides are the inspiration behind WHYTE Couture, creating the dresses that brides will remember for a lifetime.

JACLYN WHYTE

Following in her mother’s footsteps, Jaclyn Whyte is an esteemed bridal designer for the next generation of brides.

Since 2011, Jaclyn’s contemporary perspective married with Francesca’s timeless designs has propelled the WHYTE Couture name, cementing the duo’s authority within the bridal and evening wear category.

Under Jaclyn’s helm, WHYTE Couture will debut its first prêt-à-porter collection that will be sold exclusively at premier retailers globally, allowing every bride the WHYTE experience.
