In this Issue Style and Grace is the theme of this edition, with styled shoots that showcase the very epitome of elegant, modern Weddings. We’ve combined that most classical and sensual of art forms with beautiful flowing gowns in the spectacular setting of Mirra Private Dining and Events in Fortitude Valley to create our Balletic Elegance inspiration. Fabulously fashionable staging from the talented team at Sugared Style has been captured with some stunning gowns to produce our Fruity Floral article. This edition you’re in for a treat as we also have a new range of Elizabeth de Varga Exclusive Fashions gowns photographed at the stunning, and multi-award winning, Maleny Manor in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, not to mention a short, Bond-girl inspired feature. Our cover shot is the beautiful, Laura Herden, wearing an incredibly gorgeous gown by Darb Bridal Couture in the grand entrance at Mirra. Don’t miss our round-up of events and parades, including the launch of Begitta’s new collection and the Ideal Bride Show at Brisbane City Hall.

UNVEILED High fashion met architectural excellence with the launch of Begitta’s new collection at Cloudland in Fortitude Valley. The collection is called The Secret Garden and there was plenty of whimsical floral fantasy on show, together with some elegant and sensual designs that could suit the modern bride or equally be at home on the red carpet. The launch was held in conjunction with a exhibition of preferred suppliers and the main venue was decorated to inspire visiting brides-to-be. The ante-room was also set up for a sophisticated ceremony, ideal for small to medium sized gatherings.
