BRIDAL FEATURE<br />

My <strong>Bridal</strong> Feature is Bianca Webb, who<br />

married the love of her life Brayden.<br />

When Bianca walked into my boutique<br />

& saw my Miss USA dress she knew it<br />

was the dress for her.<br />

I asked Bianca a few questions in the<br />

hope that Bianca’s answers can help<br />

another bride on their Wedding Dress<br />

Journey.<br />

Q How did you approach finding<br />

your perfect Wedding dress? Did<br />

you do a lot of Research & use<br />

sites such as pinterest?<br />

A: I spent a few weeks googling<br />

what styles of dresses I liked and<br />

what were the best dress<br />

boutiques to visit. I used<br />

Instagram, Facebook and<br />

Pinterest to find ideas.


Q. How soon after your engagement did you start<br />

trying on wedding dresses?<br />

A: It was about 4 months after the engagement.<br />

Q. How many bridal shops did you go too & How<br />

many dresses did you try on before finding The<br />

One?<br />

A: I went to the formal shop near to <strong>JK</strong> and tried<br />

on about 4 dresses. I then walked into <strong>JK</strong> and the<br />

second dress I saw was the one that I fell in love<br />

with.<br />

Q. Was your wedding dress the style that you<br />

always thought you would wear or was it totally<br />

different?<br />

A: My dress was somewhat different to what I<br />

was expecting but it had the stunning lace I<br />

always dreamt of having. My dress is one of a<br />

kind and absolutely flawless.<br />

Q. How did you find the experience of going into<br />

bridal shops to find the perfect dress?<br />

A: Joanne is by far the most helpful and caring<br />

boutique shop owner I've ever come across.<br />

She has such an amazing eye for fashion.<br />

Joanne was very supportive and hand made my<br />

dress from scratch in 4 months. (my wedding<br />

was in 6)


Q. What made you decide that your wedding dress was the Perfect<br />

One for you.<br />

A: I feel that Joanne made me see<br />

that the dress was very much suited<br />

to my personality. I thought I wanted<br />

something very traditional but when I<br />

saw the one, it was far from it. The<br />

dress is so stunning and one of a<br />

kind. I felt like the princess I always<br />

wanted to be, getting married.<br />

Tell us about your Beautiful Wedding Day.<br />

My wedding day was very non traditional, romantic and very personal. My<br />

hubby and I got married on the gondolas in the Venetian Las Vegas.<br />

Our bridal party consisted of just the two of us. It was the most magical and<br />

memorable day of my life.<br />

Once we were married overseas, we then came home and celebrated with<br />

our family and friends. I decided to go back to Joanne and get my dress cut<br />

into a cocktail dress for my summer function (My wedding was in winter<br />

season in America). Whilst wearing the dress I received multiple<br />

comments on how stunning my dress was and how it suited me as a<br />

person. Joanne helped me feel truly beautiful on my special day and I<br />

couldn't thank her enough. I am proud to tell everyone where I found my<br />

dress.<br />

Joanne also kept the off cuts of my dress for my Grandmother to make a<br />

little christening outfit out of them when the time comes.


Q. If you could have the day over<br />

again, would there be anything<br />

you would change?<br />

A: Absolutely not. I am very<br />

happy with the way we went in<br />

getting married. I shared the day<br />

with the person I most care for.<br />

Q. What advice would you give to brides as<br />

they start their journey on finding the Perfect<br />

Wedding Dress?<br />

A: I would suggest to keep an open mind as<br />

to what you try on and look at because you<br />

never know what you might come across.<br />

Doing research helped me find what<br />

suburbs had the best shops to look in. After<br />

all that's how I stumbled across this little<br />

gem of a store, <strong>JK</strong> <strong>Couture</strong> Designs


FASHION TIP<br />

How many of you keep your<br />

garments in the plastic bags<br />

from the drycleaners? come<br />

on be honest a lot of you do,<br />

I’m sure. Well did you know<br />

that it can be bad for your<br />

clothes, especially here in qld<br />

with how hot and humid our<br />

weather gets.<br />

When you get your clothes home from the<br />

drycleaners you should take them out of the<br />

plastic for 2 reasons, firstly to check that all of<br />

your garments are there, drycleaners are human<br />

and make mistakes just like the rest of us and<br />

sometimes may leave a garment out or something<br />

like a belt that goes with a jacket by accident, I<br />

have seen many ties go missing this way & if you<br />

leave your clothes in the plastic, it could be<br />

months before you realise something is missing &<br />

by then it could be too late.<br />

The second reason is your clothes can sweat in<br />

the bag causing your fabrics to smell or even get<br />

mould on them, before you even get a chance to<br />

wear them again.<br />

<strong>Evening</strong> Dress’s or suits should be kept in a<br />

garment bag (not a plastic one either) Good<br />

quality garment bags let the fabrics breath to keep<br />

them in great condition.


FORMAL FEATURE<br />

I was very delighted when Gabi<br />

asked me to make her formal<br />

Dress. After all Gabi looks so<br />

good in every one of my<br />

designs and has been in<br />

enough of them now, that it was<br />

about time she had one for<br />

herself.<br />

Gabi’s dress was going to be couture &<br />

this meant that I started by creating a<br />

pattern to Gabi’s measurements. The next<br />

stage is creating a toile which is a calico<br />

replica to get the fitting <strong>issue</strong>s out of the<br />

way, plus it gave Gabi a chance to see the<br />

dress on and make any design changes,<br />

such as lowering the back of the dress.


When it came to choosing fabrics, Gabi<br />

gave me a bit of a challenge. Toby,<br />

Gabi’s boyfriend already had his suit<br />

and tie. The tie had a couple of<br />

different blues in it and Gabi asked me<br />

to find a blue that matched in<br />

with the tie (doesn’t sound difficult does<br />

it) The challenge was that the blue had<br />

a purple hue background to it which is<br />

harder to find a match too, but It<br />

came up beautifully & I found some<br />

perfect matching coloured diamontes<br />

for around the waist.


Behind the scenes from the<br />

Ideal bride Expo<br />

Cleveland<br />

The first ever Ideal<br />

Bride Expo at<br />

Cleveland was<br />

fantastic, it was a<br />

really lovely boutique<br />

expo.<br />

Because it was a<br />

smaller expo than the<br />

normal bigger ones it<br />

meant that all the<br />

brides could speak to<br />

all the vendors that<br />

were there without<br />

feeling as if they had<br />

to rush to the next<br />

vendor and it was<br />

such a great<br />

atmosphere.<br />

The stage was<br />

styled<br />

beautifully by<br />

White Lace<br />

and Promises<br />
