Bees,
I am in Sydney for a few months and while I’m here I would like to check out a few designers we may not have access to in the US.
I already know of J’Aton; any additional reccomendations?
Thanks!

Zelda1: I’ve seen lots of beautiful dresses by Karen Willis Holmes. Based in Sydney I think 🙂

Steven Khalil but not sure where he is at. check weddedwonderland or brides_style on IG if you can. They usually feature AUS based real weddings and there’s a ton of diff designers I have never heard of

Zelda1: Sarah Janks and Anna Campbell both are available in the US but they have a very limited selection.

Make an appointment at the bridal salon at David Jones in the city – they have a whole range of exquisite dresses by quite a few high-end Australian designers. If I lived in Sydney that would be my first port of call!!

Zelda1: be prepared for some sticker shock. The prices for dresses in Australia are way more than the US.
This is a good gallery from the AU knot that showcases 50 aussie designers

Not sure what your budget is but Steven Khalil is incredible… he starts at AU$8,000 – 10,000 though.

j_jaye: oh yeah- everything in Sydney is sticker shocking! I have been here or three weeks- I don’t even dare shop. I was warned though, so I stocked up on all essentials before heading down under.
