Real Bride Leanne wears Avery & Edna by Trish Peng
Some brides find the one, while others embrace the magic of two. For Leanne, the journey to her perfect wedding dress was about crafting two breathtaking bridal looks that embodied every facet of her evolving vision, which ultimately led her to Avery by Trish Peng.
Planning her wedding from far north Queensland, Leanne turned to Brisbane for her bridal search. Again and again, we emerged as the quintessential destination, renowned for our curated selection, personalised service, and an edit of designers that redefine the very essence of bridal luxury. Drawn to the exclusivity, she knew we were the place where her vision would come to life.
The moment Leanne stepped into our light-filled oasis at The Veil Collective, any lingering doubts dissolved. Our boutique’s intimate ambiance set the tone for an unparalleled bridal experience, one defined by ease, indulgence, and the freedom to explore without pressure. With us, every moment is intentional, every detail meticulously considered, creating the perfect setting for a decision made with unwavering confidence. Leanne arrived prepared, her vision honed through meticulous research and a deep understanding of the silhouettes and styles that spoke to her.
Leanne envisioned a wedding look that seamlessly blended classic romance with modern sophistication. She dreamt of a full A-line silhouette, its voluminous train trailing behind her, with a row of delicate buttons tracing the back, a nod to the fairy-tale aesthetic she had imagined as a child.
The moment Leanne slipped into Avery by Trish Peng, she felt an instant, undeniable connection. The A-line skirt, impeccably designed and adorned with an abundance of exquisite details, was everything she had envisioned, elevated beyond expectation. A striking sheer back design lent an unexpected touch of femininity, transforming her bridal vision into something truly extraordinary. There was no second-guessing. As she gazed at her reflection, a sense of absolute certainty settled over her. This was the moment, the gown, the vision brought to life in its most breathtaking form.
Though there were other contenders, Leanne remained true to her vision. Avery encapsulated her bridal dream flawlessly, a classic princess silhouette with a timeless, refined allure.
With her ceremony dress secured, Leanne was ready to turn her attention to her reception look. She knew she wanted something entirely different, something that would contrast with the formality of Avery and add a playful touch to her celebration. That is when she stumbled upon Edna, a bodysuit and skirt ensemble by Trish Peng. Edna had caught Leanne’s eye during her initial visit into the boutique, but it was only after securing her ceremony dress that she was able to fully explore it.
With its intricate beading and chic, fun silhouette, Edna was the perfect choice. It offered a sense of freedom, both in movement and style, making it a stunning yet comfortable option for her reception. The playful structure of the bodysuit, paired with the structure of the skirt, captured Leanne’s bold side, ready to dazzle her guests in a way that was both striking and fun.
On her wedding day, Leanne’s two dresses captured the very essence of her celebration. In Avery, she embodied the refined princess of her childhood dreams, and later, as she slipped into Edna for the reception, the gown effortlessly mirrored the vibrant energy of the evening, ready to dance her way into married life.
Leanne’s bridal journey wasn’t without its challenges, but every step, every choice, wove a part of the story she’ll cherish forever. Her wedding photos, captured by the incredibly talented Amy Grace Photography, whom she secured just six weeks before the big day (but that’s a tale for another time!), were even featured in British Vogue. A perfect coincidence and the most magical ending to her bridal journey.
Her advice to future brides? Trust in the vision you have for your day, but remain open to the beauty of the process. When it comes to choosing the dress, trust your heart and don’t let anything shake your confidence.
