13 Incredible Australian Wedding Dress Designers Who Take Our Breath Away

Finding the wedding dress of your dreams can be a daunting task - especially when you realise you can't actually afford that frothy Ralph & Russo concoction you saved on Pinterest (sigh). But there's no need to book a flight to Paris to find a beautiful, one-of-a-kind design: below, the Australian wedding dress designers that will appeal to boho brides and couture lovers alike.

Grace Loves Lace

Based on the Gold Coast, Grace Loves Lace has taken its breezily bohemian aesthetic to both Venice Beach and London, where it now has boutiques. But you can order one of their handmade gowns, crafted from French lace and silk, from anywhere in Australia. Grace Loves Lace draws inspiration from new season fashion trends for its whimsical wedding dresses, which range from floaty off-the-shoulder designs to structured backless column gowns.
