Real Bride Jo

We were delighted to meet Jo during our Eastland Pop Up (March-June 2018)

Jo, like a number of our brides, has been in a committed relationship for a number of years, with a beautiful young son. Creating a beautiful ceremony and wedding was important to Jo, whilst also balancing the consideration and reality of current family expenditures.

We are always delighted to assist brides work within a budget, as we have quite a variety of quality gowns on offer. After sending images back and forth, we settled on an appointment and were able to finally present a skirt and bodice combo that was everything a wedding dress should be... and without breaking the budget!

The only alterations Jo needed and wanted, was to extend the back of the bodice, as it was a size too small, but an easy adjustment. As well as change the straps from a narrow silk strap to a wide silk satin ribbon strap.

Jo was able to secure her gown, without compromise, under $1000. We think that's a win!

A last minute and unavoidable setback meant the planned photographer could not make it on the day. We sent a shoutout to some of our favourite photographers, and the lovely David from That's The Shot Photography was able to step in and tailor a package that was able to suit their budget.

Cleaning is often the first step in giving your gown the best chance at whatever comes next.

Thoughtful storage for whatever comes next.

Once your gown has been cleaned, how it is stored matters too. Choose the option that suits your gown and your plans.

Small note:

A practical option for protecting your gown from dust, light and everyday handling.
