Friday has rolled around yet again guys and gals and we’re bringing you 13 glorious bridal looks to inspire you for your big day. Or hey, you can literally recreate them all together, too. Either way, we have covered pretty much every bride in the below, originally published in Issue 28 of Hello May magazine.
We worked with some of our favourite peeps; the talented, Cara O’Dowd behind the camera, Chic Management’s, Dominique, in front of it and bringing the beauty goods, The Future Mrs. They are a collective of insanely cool hair and makeup artists that will give your beauty look an editorial feel on your big day, too, so head here for details and real brides with rave reviews.
But back to the fashion lewks, friends. You’ll find everything from the more traditional vibes (while still being cool, different and a little sexy, of course) thanks to Karen Willis Holmes (more specifically the Audrey, above), lovely lace numbers (we’re looking at you Kellylin Couture and Luci Di Bella), unique silhouettes (hi Georgia Young Couture) and sheer wonders (from brands like Alca Line Bride). There’s also a chic silk slip (we appreciate you Friend of Audrey) and some seriously impressive floor-length sequins from Love Marie Bridal Boutique. Accessories include Dove Grey Bridal from Hope X Page and bling experts, Grew & Co, to name a few!
You’ll see the credits listed underneath each look below and if you’d like to flip through the shoot in print, (yes, we’re biased, but there’s something about seeing shoots on paper that just feels right), then be sure to pop onto our online store to nab yourself a copy. If you want to head into a boutique to try the dresses on, check out some of our faves who stock many of these designers – Hope X Page Bridal Boutique (NSW), Mrs Fray (ACT), Love Marie Bridal Boutique (NSW), The Bride Lab (SA) and Sphere Bridal Gallery (QLD and NSW).
