“One day when I was around 19, scrolling on Instagram, I came across a wedding, and the bride was wearing a beautiful and simple dress. Her dress was by Bo and Luca. I started following the brand that day!”

Once the bride got engaged, she took another look online and saw our Angelica gown, exclaiming that it swept her off her feet. She got in touch with her nearest stockist, Maggie at Your Art Bridal at Thirroul in NSW, and went to try the wedding dress on once it had arrived in-store. With a few adjustments and customisations including a longer train, Ayse’s gown was made for her;

“Everyone who saw my dress knew it was made for me! Classy, elegant, whimsical, and fun. I Couldn’t have asked for a better dress, or better designer. Maggie was especially helpful with every aspect of the dress and customisation as well as reassuring me that it would turn out perfect.”

WEDDING DAY ACCESSORIES

On the wedding day, I had my mum’s engagement ring which was super special. I also had a simple gold tennis bracelet and that was it! My dress was already super detailed, so I felt that less was more in terms of accessories.

WEDDING RINGS

My engagement ring stone was sourced from the USA and set at a local jeweler here in Sydney. It is the most beautiful ring I have ever set my eyes on. My now-husband and I designed it together. With a super-thin band, high setting, and dainty claws, it really is my dream ring. My husband’s ring is platinum and has a cute little diamond in it – symbolic of my diamond so we always carry a part of each other even when we are apart. Lastly, my wedding band was from the cutest jeweler store in Paddington called ‘Baby Anything’ which stands for ‘Baby, I’d do anything for you’, making the band even more special. They have the best collection, and the girls in the store were so lovely to work with. The band really compliments my engagement ring, and it is my dream stack.

HAIR & MAKEUP

My makeup artist was Yen Hoang. Again, she is the best in the business. I wanted to look and feel like me, and ensure my makeup was really natural but long-lasting, which it was. She was amazing, I have never felt more beautiful than I did on that day.

WEDDING SCENT

My wedding day scent was by ‘The Floral Street’ which is found in Mecca Maxima stores. The scent was wild vanilla and orchid and it is honestly THE most amazing scent ever.
