MEET MARK.
The Curator. The Designer. The Bridal Expert.
The epitome of NYC Chic!
And just like its coveted zip code, the Mark Ingram Atelier is synonymous with being at the heart of luxury and fashion, steps away from the bustling Park Avenue for the last 20 years, established in 2002.
Inside you will find hand-picked Bridal Couture by Mark Ingram, personally touching and selecting each gown to ensure the aesthetic and stylings are always aligned with his Bride's modern sensibilities.
Trends may go in a New York Minute, but Mark knows what can live beyond the moment and still have an impact years later -- and his clients know it.
The Atelier is a space of luxury, sophistication, white-glove service, and above all else, the only place in the city for the best, more fashionable couture gowns available from any local retailer. Brides travel from across the nation to the world for the experience of shopping in its intimate space and the chance to work with Mr. Ingram himself.

"To say my family enjoyed clothes and dressing up as a child is an understatement.
From an early age, I have been exposed to proper tailoring, chic fashion, and timeless styling. I guess you can say it's in my blood!"
Upon graduating from prestigious NYU with a business degree, Mark Ingram’s fashion career began at the legendary Fifth Avenue specialty stores, Bonwit Teller and Bergdorf Goodman. As a young merchandising executive at these venerable institutions in the early 80’s, Mark was exposed to the world’s top designers and arbiters of style.
Mark’s interest in fashion, however, dates back to his childhood. As a youngster barely out of the stroller, Mark was introduced to fashionable Fifth Avenue shops by his grandparents, who were avid shoppers and style setters. Custom-made clothes and Saturday fittings at such stores as B. Altman and Best & Co. remain fond childhood memories.
By 1986, Mark had embarked on a successful wholesale career in New York’s garment center, securing merchandising and sales management positions with designer and luxury goods manufacturers. In 1995 he joined the renowned bridal house Amsale as National Bridal Sales Director. In this role, Mark traveled to the best couture bridal stores meeting brides-to-be across the country.
All of this helped prepare him to realize the dream of opening Mark Ingram Atelier in 2002.
HIS STORY
Mr. Ingram established his own namesake collection ‘Mark Ingram Bride’ as a response to hearing firsthand the gowns that his customers were missing the most. The Mark Ingram Bride is a Collection brand first but truly so much more of an adjective. The title embodies the woman and the women who inspire their effortless look and feel. They are simple yet stately, they are delicate but impactful. The Mark Ingram Bride Collection is inspired by the women who adorn the gowns and their innate appreciation for chic, quality, and impeccable design.
