Vero Amore ~ True Love

It's easy to forget about the world when you're surrounded by a sea of trees that seems to wash against a mountainous horizon. The leaves rustle like natures bells in the gentle breeze, lifting spirits and hearts to divine heights, the sun lends a dappled light to this beautiful refuge, making it the perfect setting for a hideaway wedding.
This divine shoot featured on To The Aisle Australia sent us floating amongst rich green landscapes and spectacular views of the Scenic Rim. 

Featuring two of our stunning gowns ODETTE and STAR STRUCK, it was hard not to lose ourselves in the love of the moment!

The divine ODETTE gown features a divine bodice of Silk Organza meticulously embellished with hand applique trailing down into a beautifully layered peplum, all floating over a skirt of softly cascading ruffles, to complete this romantic silhouette. Each piece of the delicate French-corded lace is placed and attached by hand with the utmost care. This dress sits in that magical place at the base of a waterfall, where the mist seems to gather in the trees like a soft cloud.
An absolute favourite of the designers and the perfect look for a dramatic entrance that will NEVER be forgotten!

Our dream STAR STRUCK gown provides a flowing, feminine silhouette. cascading to the floor with a high split providing movement without compromising the simple elegance of the gown. Scattered matte sequins float on a fine spider-mesh netting, reminiscent of the rising bubbles in a glass of champagne. This subtly sparkling layer drapes over an inbuilt slip, featuring a sweetheart neckline and shaped hem, adding both modesty and a touch of illusion. This dress reminds us of those beautifully simple moments shared with those we love.

The divine, soft palette from this shoot is almost too dreamy to be believed, like walking through a soft mist of daydreams. The perfect merging of industrial chic and soft feminine touches.
Pale blooms provide an air of feminine softness against the dim glow of candlelight, reflected in the glimmer of muted sequins. The Refinery's warehouse industrial feel merged with an ultra soft barely there styling in muted pinks and soft earthy tones. 

A sneak peek into our upcoming collection the ARIA gown is the perfect choice for the modern bride.
The stunning Aria gown features a soft, muted sequins provide an almost-but-not-quite sparkle to a flowing silhouette as full bishop sleeves add fullness and balance. Paired with an open back and full train for a dreamily feminine gown.

We toned down the colour, but not the love in this stunning shoot featured on THE LANE.

Against the concrete walls of the refinery, this pale palette provides just a touch of warmth with the soft glow of candlelight. The industry locale of concrete and bricks finds itself immersed in a feminine glow, even in black and white.

Remember this sneaky peak from IGTV???

Our divine desert bride creates a stunning silhouette, standing out even among the striking formations of Vasquez Rocks. Under the warmth of the sun, a soft breeze lifted our hearts and spirits in this beautiful and iconic location.

We traveled to the beautiful California with three dreamy dresses to this stunning shoot location at Vasquez Rocks, Cali. Working with the amazing Ragi and Amanda is ALWAYS a pleasure, their incredible talent and the way they vibe off eachother is always a buzz! Megan our hair and makeup artist always brings the energy and excitement to a shoot! It was such a beautiful day and the venue was just INSANE!

​Nothing is more divine on a hot day than a soft, gentle breeze, except perhaps the stunning ZEPHYR gown floats over the desert. Featuring a beautiful filigree shaped sequin pattern over a sheer net and soft nude lining. ZEPHYR offers up a soft and subtle sparkle in the warmth of the desert sun.

The divine AZUR gown is absolutely one of a kind, created using an absolutely stunning Aztec print, dripping in dazzling pale molten gold sequins.

Ever so delicate, the LUNAR gown seems like a soft cloud, floating against the desert stone. Covered in scattered pearls, this beautiful design features soft, off-shoulder sleeves attached to a divinely draped bodice and cascading train. Our LUNAR gown is the soft cloud floating over the desert, bringing the promise of new life.

A lunar eclipse can only occur when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are exactly aligned. Like finding your soul mate, the stars align and we know we have found THE ONE.
 
This dreamy shoot is an ode to the glorious phenomenon of the lunar eclipse. Featuring our Lunar gown on our stunning bride, exquisite celestial stationery, two insanely gorgeous cakes, amazing styling and the most insane floral backdrop we have ever seen, representing the eclipse in all its glory. The styling of this editorial is next level with a beautiful ethereal feel but a touch of darkness and drama.
 
Inspired by a starry sky the ever so delicate the gorgeous LUNAR gown is an absolute dream dress. Scattered with pearls throughout the entire gown. With it’s beautiful off the shoulder sleeve, soft draped bodice and cascading train it’s a gown that features in our wildest dreams. Worn with one of our favourite pearl adorned cathedral length veils it is the most divine look for this celestial styling.

FOLLOW THE SUN!
Dreams come true at Sunset, right? We certainly think so with these dreamy beach shots of our beautiful muse in the gorgeous ODETTE gown, captured by the amazing Alicia Abbott Photography.

The ODETTE gown truly is a dream made reality. Layer upon layer of ruffles in the skirt seem to float over the sand as the sunset glow plays over the dimension of the carefully appliqued bodice.
The stunning bodice of Silk Organza features a dramatic two-layered peplum that floats beautifully and is embellished with exquisite hand applique. Each piece of the delicate French-corded lace is placed and attached by hand with the utmost care. 
An absolute favourite of the designers and the perfect look for a dramatic entrance that will NEVER be forgotten!

Footprints in the sand, rolling waves and the sea breeze blowing through soft clouds in the sky at sunset. The perfect dreamy setting for the perfect dreamy day.

Of course, ODETTE wasn't the only one to get a dream date at the beach! 
We simply HAD to take advantage of this setting sun with a few of our other gorgeous creations, including SOLEIL, PEACH and the ever popular LUNAR gown.

Sunset on the beach and the most beautiful gowns we could imagine, what more could a girl want?
​

The divine, delicate LUNAR gown has been so popular before the collection was ever released. Featuring beautiful off the shoulder sleeve, soft draped bodice and cascading train and covered in scattered pearls, it’s a gown that features in our wildest dreams.

EDITORIAL // The Last Summer Berry - Styled Wedding
 
Styled Wedding Shoot Featuring Begitta - Bridal and Couture FLEUR gown.
This absolutely stunning venue provided the backdrop for an insanely cool and modern chic wedding. With bright flashes of red and subtle nods of deep hues in blacks and purples.
 
As the sun sets over the hinterlands of the Southern Gold Coast the light sparkles through the leaves. The perfect backdrop for this incredible shoot of berry hues and lush greenery.
 
Amongst the rainforest-esqe seeing the incredible floral semi-circle created by Xavier Nicolle Flowers. 
​

"The final days of summer were drawing in, the berries ripe, and the leaves were clinging to the branches. It was coming closer to the time where we all switch our margarita to a full bodied red!
We made the most of the last sunshine - seating guests among the trees to feast on earthen plates hand-fired by the local potter, gold cutlery, and luscious raspberry-red blooms. The bride's caped gown seem to speak to the breeze, and flowed so loosely behind her -untamed. Her make-up rich and opulent.
The naked tipi, found foliage ceremony circle, and hand-painted watercolour stationery belonged to this wilderness, and it was still so unexplored.
Those involved with this creation perfectly harmonised together to create the ultimate embodiment of an earthy, enchanted, mature summer day which seemed to teeter precariously on the edge of Autumn."

Featured in The Wedding Playbook Volume 13

There is something about copper that catches your eye in a way that gold and silver can't quite do. It's a modern metal that gives off a chic vibe, but can still be styled to look elegant and romantic. 
Paired with rich Autumn hues, a touch of industrial flair, and delicate, feminine details, this whimsical display coordinated through The Wedding Playbook created a scene fit for a contemporary and beautiful wedding.

For this Modern Copper scene shot by the amazing husband and wife duo at Raconteur Photography, our model Karli was styled in three arrangements using (insert the shoot's pieces here).
​
Her lovely hair and makeup was done by Velbella, with styling done by Gemma at Inspired by Love Events! Karli also adorns some sparkling accents through her earrings and ring, thanks to Starfire Diamond Jewelry. The result was a modern but dreamy bride, mixing traditional and contemporary pieces beautifully. 

Kylie at Creo Design Invitations starts us off by making dazzling marble-inspired stationary, which matched the marble chargers, cutlery, glassware & plateware done by Brandition. They made an already charming dining table into an enchanting dinner setting sure to render guests speechless!

The flower arrangements created by New England Flower Co. were essential in pulling together all of the different elements. The rich hues contrasted beautifully with the marble, concrete, and copper and added pops of romantic color to the scene. Not to mention, they also made the gorgeous white gowns the star of the show!

Berry Vintage provided plenty of vintage flair for some balance through the peacock chair fit for a queen, and the exquisite rug laying beneath it.  

With so much style and harmony in this gorgeous display, this bride is ready to enchant her guests and show everyone a magical wedding.
