The Story

The Made with Love story began just after Josh proposed to our director, Carla, in February 2013. What an exciting occasion – both families celebrated extensively! However, when Carla started the search for the perfect dress, she went to more than 10 bridal stores on the Gold Coast and Brisbane and left unsatisfied. She couldn’t find one dress that was perfect in style, fit and price. In a disheartened moment, Carla realised that her dream dress wasn’t a possibility this lifetime.

…or was it?

Determined, Carla did some research to custom-make her dress. Before long, she had custom-made a few and had become friends with the seamstress; it took a lot of work but the positive results were addictive. Having a natural flair for style and a love for all things ‘wedding’, Carla made a Made with Love Bridal Facebook and Instagram account that indicated a following of interest. So Carla took it further, actively looking for inspiration in the wedding industry and combining it with her bold and feminine style, and wow-factor details.

Almost unintentionally, Carla completed her first bridal collection, Made with Love, in June 2013.

In November 2014, Carla completed her second bridal collection, Carla’s Collection – a collection of high end designs with our down-to-earth price tag–that hit a niche in a market that asked for ‘affordable and elegant’.

The Concept

Buying a wedding dress online is becoming more normal as the world turns more and more to online stores for the sake of price, convenience and guarantee. Our bridal boutique offers all those positives with the added assurance of a personalised experience. Made with Love Bridal is an experienced online store so we know the stressors of brides and provide them with all the information and assurance they need to feel confident when ordering their dream dress. Most of our brides are internationally-based who haven’t tried on our dresses until their dream dress arrives in the post so rest assured knowing you’re in good company of hundreds of brides who have had their expectations exceeded by their dress and our team.

Our bridal boutique offers all those positives with the added assurance of a personalised experience.

Most dresses take between ten to twelve months, including delivery, to arrive to your home. We only use the most beautiful and high quality fabrics, handpicked by us and our team of seamstresses, including tulle, satin, lace, hand-made lace and satin-organza. Some of the dresses are beaded. All our collections are available in ivory, with some designs having bone, nude and tan options.

Made with Love Bridal is an online boutique store but we do have 4 flagship boutiques in London, Melbourne, Sydney and on the Gold Coast for brides who wish to try the dresses on. We have samples ranging from size 6 – 18.
