Modeling the winner at Pacific Fair Shopping CentreI recorded the show last night and watched it this afternoon (which worked out well because it meant I could fast forward through all the ads). Brad Webb, one of my favourite local bridal designers who does exquisite couture (you can see some of his beautiful creations in the latest edition of "Discerning Bride"), from Darb Bridal Couture took away the Supreme Award for his entry entitled "Fabienne". The gown was inspired by 1950's Dior and featured french lace, silk tulle and ribbon. To top it off the waistline was wrapped with an oversized bow. His other stunning dress made me think of a bouquet of packed together carnations, it was a typical princess gown style but with major ruffles. Both gowns were fantastic but I definately agree with the judges, the "Fabienne" was unique and just beautiful.
Lisa Brown's gown featured a hood and backless design. Strictly Bridal's entry had a sheer organza coat and was adorned with swaroski crystals. Brides Desire by Airs and Graces had a laced-back, vintage style gown with lots of beading and ruffles.
My other favourites were the "designers of excellence" previous award winners at the beginning of the show. The white dress in the Collette Dinnigan collection and the white dress in the Carla Zampatti collection were just breath taking and would make amazing bridal gowns.
Not forgetting the men, the male host was dressed by Elio Moda. See another post about Elio Moda here.
Forever New's grey silk dress would make the perfect bridesmaids dress, it's affordable (at only $169.95AUD) and best yet it's in stores now!
