Every year, we bring our collection to Christchurch for a limited number of bridal appointments.
Book an appointment when dates are available, or join our mailing list to be the first to hear about future visits.
We visit Christchurch each year for a limited number of bridal appointments, giving South Island brides the opportunity to try on our collection without travelling to Mount Maunganui.
Our appointments are relaxed, personal and designed to help you find a gown that feels like you.
Whether you’re searching for a modern wedding dress, bridal separates or something simple and timeless, we’d love to help.
“”My dress was an absolute dream. The photos turned out amazing, and I couldn’t have been happier. Thank you for everything!”
“Thanks so much! The wedding was perfect, I absolutely loved my dress and how it made me felt and I got soooo many comments from our guests.”
“Thank you so much, the day (and the dress) was a dream come true! “
“The dress was absolutely gorgeous. I couldn’t have been happier with it. Thank you for creating such a beautiful gown!”
I absolutely adored my gown. It was even more beautiful in person, so comfortable to wear, and truly felt like a showstopper as my second look on the wedding day. I loved it so much that I have it hanging where I can see it every day because it’s simply too beautiful to put away. The whole experience was wonderful from start to finish, and I can’t wait for an excuse to wear it again someday. Thank you so much, Isabel — I loved working with you and couldn’t have been happier with my dress.

If you’ve been seeing more basque waist wedding dresses lately, you’re not imagining it. This silhouette is back in a big way
Polly and Dan’s Twizel wedding was a relaxed, deeply personal celebration set against the Southern Alps. From Polly’s Sadie Silk Set and Prim Lace Veil by Gown & Altar to the quiet, considered way the day unfolded, this real bride story is a beautiful example of modern New Zealand bridal style done with intention.
