Bridal Buyer’s Hot Pick:

Highclere

One design that stands out to us is Highclere. It’s a real showstopper, combining trendsetting elegance with unique details that truly make it shine. The gown features an off-the-shoulder textured satin design, with a fitted bodice and a striking sheer illusion boned corset that adds both structure and allure. The standout feature is the extra-large 3-D flowers blooming from the neckline, which give it a modern, bold twist. Brides can also customise it with a detachable textured satin overskirt, offering versatility for their big day. This piece demands attention and ensures any bride wearing it feels like the star of the show.

Bridal Buyer’s Hot Pick:

Pearl - 1907

A standout design from Pearl by Diane Legrand is the 1907 dress. A slinky mermaid dress that fits and flatters every curve. The fabric flows like liquid silk, creating a sleek silhouette that dramatically flares out into ruffled layers. The ruffles aren’t just for show – it’s these frothy layers that brings a certain playfulness to the look, almost like the dress comes alive with every step. It’s classic minimalism meets modern flair, and we love it.

Bridal Buyer's Hot Pick:

Catriona

We’re swooning over Catriona. Inspired by 1950's elegant lines, contrasted with the natural Merino wool fabric produced on their property, balancing tradition with contemporary design to celebrate both heritage and modernity. We love the asymmetrical one-shoulder, which is elegantly accented with a long sash that drapes over the shoulder and draws attention to the long, open back.
