Lookbook Bride
About
Overview & Vibe
Lookbook Bride is a custom bridal dressmaker working from a home bridal suite in Mount Martha, on the Mornington Peninsula. Every gown is made to measure and handcrafted in Melbourne with hand beadwork, and the positioning is deliberate: “affordable luxury”. Appointments are private — “it’s relaxed, and you are the only bride”.
Dress Styles & Designers
One designer, her own label, in three collections: Lux Lace from $2,300, Creative Couture from $2,900 and Sleek Silhouettes, plus a sample sale rail. The work is fluid fabrics, exclusive laces, embellished trims and hand beading throughout, cut to flatter natural curves — and gowns come in colour options to suit all skin tones.
Ideal For
A bride who has been collecting screenshots. The studio is built around exactly that: bring your Pinterest and Instagram saves and the designer works from them — though she is explicit that she draws inspiration rather than making exact copies of another designer's gown. It also suits a bride who wants couture construction at a real price, or who would rather hire: there are over 40 gowns on the hire rail.
The Need-to-Knows
Book a one-hour “meet and greet” studio appointment — you and your guests, unhurried, to go through the range, the fabrics and the craftsmanship. The studio suggests coming seven months to a year before the wedding. Zoom and virtual consultations are offered if you cannot get to Mount Martha. Phone 0400 547 016. The published range is $1,300 to $2,900.
Standout Feature
She will make it, or lend it. Very few bridal businesses run a custom atelier and a 40-gown hire rail from the same studio — which means a bride can price the same look two completely different ways in one appointment. Add hand beadwork on every gown and a starting price under $2,500, and the “affordable luxury” claim holds up better than most.
