Welcome to my first emagazine.<br />

I decided to do a magazine because I have been sending email newsletters<br />

out to you for a while now and sometimes I have more to tell you, than you<br />

want to read in a quick newsletter and this way if you are the type of person<br />

that would prefer to curl up on the couch with a good magazine and catch up<br />

with everything in one hit, my magazine will be perfect for you. I intend to send<br />

a magazine out once a month to you.<br />

I would love feedback on the magazine which of course being my first one is<br />

going to be a trial and error (probably a lot of errors to begin with) as I learn my<br />

way through. Feel free to send me an email with any feedback you may have<br />

or even if it is just to let me know what you think!<br />

The month of May is upon us and wow, I know that you will agree with me that<br />

it is going way too fast, I am sure it was only yesterday when we were getting<br />

over the start of a new year.<br />

For me it has been a busy few months as I put into plans the start of my new<br />

mix and match <strong>Bridal</strong> Range, which has taken most of my focus and I am now<br />

ready to unveil it in it’s full glory.<br />

During this time, we have also had the Ideal Bride Expo in February at<br />

Brisbane City Hall & The Gold Coast, which is always great fun for me as I love<br />

to meet and chat with all the brides, along with their mums and bridal parties.<br />

I have also recently finished a photoshoot in collaboration with Ideal Bride, and<br />

I am looking forward to sharing some beautiful shots with you such as the one<br />

on the Cover Page, but more about that later.<br />

BRIDAL FEATURE<br />

My <strong>Bridal</strong> Feature this month is<br />

Kate Lyons, Kate made a beautiful<br />

bride last year in a custom<br />

<strong>JK</strong> <strong>Couture</strong> Wedding Dress.


I instantly offered<br />

Kate that as the<br />

base of the dress<br />

of her dreams was<br />

there, I just needed<br />

to add the lace<br />

above the strapless<br />

dress as Kate wanted.<br />

and the end result<br />

as you can see was<br />

just the look<br />

Kate had<br />

always<br />

dreamed<br />

about.<br />

Kate like many brides went from boutique to boutique<br />

looking for the perfect dress for her wedding day.<br />

When Kate walked into my boutique she was at the<br />

stage of feeling at a loss, she had tried on many<br />

beautiful dresses but none of them was quite right.<br />

When Kate tried on my chandelle lace strapless<br />

dress she instantly fell in love but knew it still wasn’t<br />

quite the way she wanted. Kate You see loved the<br />

dress from the waist down but never wanted to wear<br />

a strapless dress and always had in her mind to have<br />

an off the shoulder sleeve with scallop neckline.


“I would like to thankyou from the bottom<br />

of my heart for your time, work & dedication<br />

to my dress. My wedding Day would not<br />

have been complete without the presence<br />

of your handiwork in my beautiful, amazing<br />

dress. I felt like a real princess and it<br />

brought me tears.” Kate Lyons<br />

“I also thankyou for everything you did<br />

for me throughout the planning stage.<br />

I would not have had such a beautiful<br />

dress without your kindness and<br />

support. The dress, the veil, jewellery,<br />

all of it was perfect and I owe it<br />

to you” Kate Lyons


My New <strong>Bridal</strong> Range<br />

I am so excited that my Mix and Match is ready for the world,<br />

after trialing it with a few brides at the Brisbane & Gold Coast<br />

Expos.<br />

My new Mix and match range gives brides the chance to<br />

create their own unique dress that suits not only their<br />

style but their budget without having to go couture.<br />

You see, I found that brides wanted more choice than<br />

what they saw at all the bridal boutiques, but didn’t want<br />

to go with couture and having a one off design created for<br />

them. For Brides they found that couture was not only a<br />

scary and very daunting process but in most cases was<br />

out of their budgets.<br />

My solution was to create my Unique & Exclusive Mix<br />

and match range.<br />

My ebook introducing the range is available now by<br />

clicking on the link on my ebook front page


After being in the <strong>Bridal</strong> Industry for over<br />

20 Years as a <strong>Bridal</strong> Designer,<br />

I know how it feels to go into<br />

shop after shop hoping to find that one dress<br />

that not only suits your body shape<br />

but also your style & budget<br />

and be disappointed.<br />

That is why I have created my<br />

exclusively unique<br />

BYOD Range

What we got up to in our photoshoot<br />

Andrea from Ideal Bride & I have been talking about doing<br />

a shoot together for a while and it all came together<br />

on a beautiful sunny day a fortnight ago.<br />

We had 2 beautiful models Gabi & Maddi,<br />

a gorgeous location at Brisbane Racing Club,<br />

wonderful makeup & hair by Lauren from<br />

Velbella. Also for the shoot we had lovely<br />

flowers & flower crown that Lynette from<br />

Stones Corner florist created for us. We also<br />

organised a horse, a harpist Bart Seaton & a harp,<br />

Nothing could go wrong with this mix lol except<br />

they do say don’t work with animals and yes it was<br />

a bit of a challenge, especially when it comes to<br />

a horse,a wedding dress and a long train - not<br />

always a good mix, but it was a fantastic day.<br />

Nicole Gordon Photography took the challenge to<br />

capture some beautiful shots for us, which she did<br />

as you can see from my cover page photo<br />

& the ones on these pages. Pat from unveil films<br />

took some fantastic footage and we all felt very<br />

relaxed in the second half of the shoot with Bart<br />

playing his harp through the shoot which was<br />

just mesmerising.
