Over on Aisle Society this week we’re celebrating our unique diversity as a truly international collective by kicking off the ‘Around the world with Aisle Society’ project and showcasing everything this group of wedding bloggers loves about Australian weddings! Who better to start the project than Australian wedding blog Polka Dot Bride with a roundup of just why the whole world is head over heels with all things Australian when it comes to weddings. And today it’s my turn, and I couldn’t resist the chance to introduce you to 10 of the Aussie bridal designers turning heads at the moment, with a glimpse of their gorgeous gowns…..

Anna Campbell

Inspired by the romantic decadence of times gone by, yet influenced by the relaxed, carefree elegance of modern weddings, designer Anna Campbell and her Melbourne based team lives to create breathtakingly beautiful, decadently hand-beaded and embellished, vintage-inspired lace gowns that are memorable, sexy and romantic, designed to enhance natural beauty and ensure you’re sparkling on the inside and out!

Of course when the designer came to get married herself, choosing just one dress was an impossible task, so instead she designed herself 4 – yes F O U R! With the below being one… and quite a beauty I am sure you will agree. You can see her glamorous rustic wedding in full (and her other three dresses!) right here on Chic Vintage Brides.

Gwendolynne‘s designs combine delicate fabric with antique-style trimmings, creating dresses that are ladylike without appearing over the top – the styling is elegant, sensual and romantic; appealing to contemporary and vintage loving brides.

Lost in Paris

“It’s not about us. It’s about the lace.” – Lost in Paris. And they’re not lying with their gowns created from lace unearthed at antique markets in Paris, expertly crafted on century-old machines no longer in operation, or handmade with love by Nanas long passed, each piece has its own story to tell. Their talented team of dressmakers then painstakingly restore and refashion it into one-of-a-kind wedding dresses at their Sydney atelier. It is no wonder this label is popular with free-spirited gypsy babes and eco-conscious bohemian brides alike. See beautiful bride Emily in her Lost in Paris dress, that was just perfect for her intimate celebration, here on Chic Vintage Brides.
