Australian wedding dress designers for all kinds of brides

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.

1/ 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.

The VERDELLE 2.0 is one of our best-selling gowns online. Handmade in our Australian studio with exclusive stretch European lace, the fit is effortless, flattering and unforgettable | stylist@graceloveslace.com.au #graceloveslace #theuniquebride

2/ Anna Campbell

Romantic, delicate and dripping in shimmering embellishment, Melbourne-based Anna Campbell's designs are made for modern princesses.

Finished with a silk bow 💗 Did you know the unique wrap design of many Anna Campbell dresses means you can cinch the waist in (or out!) without any alterations needed, and a small hidden elastic waist feature means you can look like a #dreambride and still sit, dance, run and breathe easy! 😉 We've got you #ACBrides! xxx #acsavannahdress #uniquebride #theuniquebride #bridal #bohemianbride #weddingdress #bridetobe2019 #silkweddingdress

3/ Steven Khalil

Ideal for the bride looking to make a statement, Sydney-based couturier Steven Khalil is capable of bringing your fairytale wedding dress dreams to life. Create your own bespoke gown or choose from his House Collection, which can be customised to suit your style.

4/ Michael Lo Sordo

Although not technically a wedding dress designer, Michael Lo Sordo's sleek silk dresses appeal to cool-girl brides with something minimalist and modern in mind. Take the white silk dress Margot Robbie wore (below), which is now available on Net-a-Porter.
