The Purpose Behind TEMPÊTE

TEMPÊTE was created with one clear purpose: to redefine what bridalwear can be. In a world where tradition often overshadows individuality, TEMPÊTE offers a bold alternative—bridal fashion that is modern, versatile, and unapologetically personal. We design for brides who want more than just a dress for one day. Our re-wearable separates, statement veils, and intentional accessories are made to be styled your way and worn beyond the aisle. Rooted in design, driven by freedom of expression, and proudly made in Canada, TEMPÊTE is here to give modern brides the confidence to break the rules and celebrate their story on their own terms.

Fashion Influence Sparked a Purpose-Driven Brand

Meet Inga, the Founder of TEMPÊTE

As a child, Inga found endless inspiration in her mother’s outfits. More than just clothing, they were a form of self-expression and freedom. That early influence sparked a lifelong fascination with fashion—from sketching shoes at her school desk to stitching skirts in high school, even when they didn’t quite turn out.

Just as her mom shaped her creative eye, her father shaped her entrepreneurial spirit. A self-made entrepreneur who began as a taxi driver before launching multiple businesses, he showed Inga the power of hard work and self-belief.

That spark never faded. After years immersed in photography, film, marketing, branding, and studying the business of fashion, Inga brought her vision to life through TEMPÊTE—a collection of modern bridal pieces designed to be mixed, styled, and re-worn with intention.

Today, she leads a dedicated Vancouver-based team who bring each piece to life with precision and heart.

Designed to Be Worn Your Way

Our Design Philosophy

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all bridalwear. TEMPÊTE was built on the idea that every bride deserves options. Our bridal separates are made to mix, match, and re-wear—with silhouettes that can evolve from ceremony to after-party, and even beyond the wedding day. Each piece is handmade in our Vancouver studio with intentionality, structure, and edge. We prioritize quality over quantity, thoughtful design over trends, and creative expression over tradition.
