Our first EVER in-house SAMPLE SALE !!!

The time has finally come to make some space in my Leichhardt studio, so I am very excited to announce our first-ever studio SAMPLE SALE! It's all happening for one day only, on Saturday 4th December 2010, from 10am til 3pm. All welcome- so come and say hello, have a browse and check out my Culture Bridal Couture studio, too.

Over the next few weeks I'll be posting photos (and prices) of some of the best bargains on offer for the sale, including beautiful silk Couture wedding gown samples, eveningwear & party frock samples, bridesmaids dress samples, and soooooo much more! As well as one-off wedding gowns, dresses, fitted corsets and long silk skirts, there will also be rare & exquisite silk evening fabrics, French laces, beaded & metallic trims and embellishments, and special "treasures" that I've collected from my international travels over the years... vintage kimonos and obis, Indian silk saris, silk wraps from South-East Asia, and one-off pieces that won't be found anywhere else but in my studio!

So stay tuned, watch this space - and tell your friends!

Behind The Scenes - My Latest Photo Shoot!

Join me behind the scenes at my recent Sydney photo shoot, showcasing 4 brand new sample gowns my "Culture Bridal Couture" team & I have just finished creating... these photos are NOT the official professional images, but rather just some quick pix I took with my own little pocket camera! So I am really looking forward to getting the proper finished images from our professional photographer in the next few weeks - stay tuned!!

Once again I chose Dario Gardiman to photograph my latest designs, as his work is consistently FABULOUS, he always listens to what i want, and is a joy to work with. This shoot took place in his very cool Erskineville studio, and Dario created a great set with beautiful lighting and cleverly crafted props to create the shadow effects. I love watching Dario work, and all the little details he attends to, in order to get that perfect shot.

Our AMAZING hair & make-up team was just superb on the day, and the speed and quality of their work was mind-blowing! The very talented Susie Ayoub doing beautiful make-up, whilst the highly experienced Lizzie from L'Bridal Hair created works of art with our model's hair, assisted by Mary. They all worked so well as a team, making it look "so easy" when i know its so hard to do in such a short space of time. Lizzie and Susie are available for weddings, formal events and any special occasions, see their contact details below. Thanks girls, you did a truly BEAUTIFUL job on each and every look you created - PERFECT!!

And the star of the shoot was undoubtedly our GORGEOUS bridal model Tanya, who looked sexy, demure, goddess-like and downright incredible in every gown she wore! She has a fantastic & very feminine look that can be changed so easily, which is what every designer craves in a fashion model, so that we can transform her into whoever we want to, suiting each gown perfectly. Plus apart from having an amazing body, she has the BEST lips and looked completely gorgeous in ruby red lipstick, too. THANK YOU TANYA!!

Enjoy these sneak previews, and stay tuned for the official shots coming soon,

til next time,

xx Lisa
