And you don’t need to blow your budget!
You’ve fallen head over heels in love and he finally put a ring on it, but now comes the hard part: finding the one! And by the one, we mean your dream wedding dress, of course.
Buying your wedding dress can be tricky territory to navigate. You want a dress that is beautiful and unique but still distinctly you. After flipping through a zillion wedding magazines and stalking every bride blog on the internet, every dress starts to look the same and you quickly come to the conclusion that having a custom wedding dress made will be the easiest option. However, many assume that a custom wedding dress is reserved for those who can afford a designer price tag. Think again!
With wedding season upon us, we’ve done the hard work for you and found everywhere in Brisbane that you can have your dream custom wedding dress made just for you without blowing the budget.
