About

Overview & Vibe

Two Hearts is a small, appointment-only studio on Harcourt Street in New Farm, a few minutes from the Brisbane CBD. It is a one-bride-at-a-time room with a stated purpose: quality gowns at prices that do not require a second mortgage. The founder grew up beside her seamstress mother’s sewing machine and brings thirty-plus years in fashion and customer service, and the studio’s own photography is shot around Brisbane - the Story Bridge, riverside parks, brick warehouses - rather than borrowed from a designer’s lookbook.

Dress Styles & Designers

The studio sells its own named gowns and publishes a price for each: Molly $2,200, Ella $2,400, Poppy $2,800, Lolita $2,950, Reigan $3,150, Coco $3,300 and Lina $4,600. Styles run modern and diverse - fitted crepe columns, full-skirted satin, off-shoulder and long-sleeve, mermaid - alongside veils, capes and detachable pieces including the Cara veil at $265 and a detachable tulle skirt and wings. Bridesmaids are Tania Olsen.

Ideal For

Brides who want a real gown under $3,000 without shopping a clearance rack, and who like knowing the price before they walk in - which is rarer in bridal than it should be. It also suits anyone on a short timeline: there is a dedicated, free, midweek off-the-rack appointment where you buy a sample gown and take it home the same day. The studio is small and personal by design, so it is a poor fit if you want a large party or an enormous range to work through.

The Need-to-Knows

By appointment only, Monday to Saturday. A first wedding-dress fitting is one hour and costs $25; a bridesmaid fitting is also $25 and takes up to five people. Second fittings and gown collection are 30 minutes. The studio holds sample gowns - each listing states the sample size available, published in US sizing from US12 to US16 with one US16/US22W - and your own gown is ordered in a custom size after your fitting. A beverage is provided on arrival. 48 hours’ notice is required to reschedule; a no-show forfeits the appointment payment. Off-the-rack sample sale purchases are non-refundable.

Standout Feature

The free midweek off-the-rack appointment. Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays only, 9am-5pm, thirty minutes, no fee - you browse the sample sale rail, and if you say yes you walk out with the gown. Almost nothing else in this database lets a bride do that for nothing.

Dress Designers

The founder was inspired by sitting at her seamstress mother's sewing machine as a child and brings over thirty years of fashion and customer-service experience; the stated aim is quality, modern, diverse gowns that are alluring but comfortable, at affordable prices.

Dress Experience

Two Hearts runs a private, one-hour appointment with exclusive access to the studio - one bride at a time, a beverage on arrival, and an experienced owner who has spent thirty years in fashion and customer service. The studio holds sample gowns rather than a full size run, and it is upfront about that: each gown's page states which sample size is in the room, so you know before you arrive whether you will be trying your own size or approximating. You try the gowns, veils, capes and accessories, ask how ordering works, and if you choose one, your own gown is ordered in a custom size after the fitting. Return appointments for a second fitting or more try-ons are arranged happily. Separately, the studio runs a genuinely unusual free option: a thirty-minute midweek slot, Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays only, purely for its off-the-rack sample sale rail - browse, find one, and take it home the same day, with the caveat that those sales are final. Two Hearts has been written up by the Urban List, Queensland Brides, The Aisle and Brisbane Fashion Month.
