It's the unofficial start of wedding season for us Queenslanders, with the Summer gone and the ability to walk around without our limbs sticking together and finding a new sunglass tan every time we leave the house sans SPF... and we couldn't be more excited.
Personally, this year's a big one for weddings with a bunch of our nearest and dearest tying the knot and doing so in style.. and we have an inkling its not just these, but a lot of new marriages blossoming into 2021.
Anyone who has planned or been involved in the planning of a wedding knows just how overwhelming the process can be, especially choosing the perfect gown.. and of course true to our Aussie ways the demand for something unique and of our own is high.
So we thought we would give you a hand up with our 3 favourite Aussie bridal designers who are doing things differently.
