Ahhhh, fashion, fashion, fashion. We couldn’t love this shoot more, friends. It was originally published in Issue 30 of Hello May Magazine, (you can buy it here) and put simply, it’s got all the feels… Cool, fresh, unique and littered with coloured options, from powder blue to pink sequins and even black.
It’s about thinking outside of the box and finding your own vibe for your day of days. Case in point, Ching, our model who had some serious energy before she even got into the first look – those are her sneakers paired above with the Louvre Pants and Lotti Jacket by Daisy by Katie Yeung and the Lily Bralette from Christie Nicole – and she rocks each and every look with individuality – no mean feat. That’s also thanks to photographer, Jack Steel, mind you, who also shoots weddings (under Jack Henry) with a feel of his very own.
If you’re not a sneakers and pants kinda gal though, Meggan Morimoto has the most stunning, femme heels made in Italy, no less, and there’s gowns with volume (hi, Hera Couture) and comfort levels off the charts (Harriette Gordon, we see you), or slinky numbers that show off your gorgeous body with ease (looking at you Alena Leena from Love Marie and Mariana Hardwick from Hope X Page). Alca Line Bride provide a perfect two piece, toeing the line between sweet and sleek like no other, as well as a sheer gown covered in hearts – a must see! Grace Loves Lace offer everything from globally recognised gowns to the bucket hat we’ve featured below and there’s even two coloured pant suits that are simply styling to boot.
We went slightly OTT on the rings front, but love a bunch on the right hand (thanks to you RUUSK), while letting your engagement and wedding bands stand along on your left (courtesy of Grew & Co). Take you cues from us and finish your look with a simple and small necklace or dainty pair of earrings and you’re done. On that note, if you care to see more jewellery, don’t miss our 25 New Season Accessories post we recently published, or Grew & Co’s latest collection release here.
Lastly, if you’re keen (and if you can) to get into a boutique to check them out in real life, a bunch of our go-to’s stock a vast range of different designers covered below; Hope X Page and Love Marie Bridal Boutique (both NSW), Mrs Fray (ACT) and The Bride Lab (SA). Trust us, you won’t regret heading in to all or any!
