We are ON THE MOVE!!!

Hello and a very BIG thank you to all those who visited me at my big Culture Bridal Couture MOVING SALE last Saturday! It was so much fun meeting everyone, and I really enjoyed seeing so many new faces trying on my bridal designs and looking amazing in them! A special thanks to my wonderful team who helped me on the day - you were all fabulous (and I couldn't have done it without you)!

We are now busy sorting out our stock, rolling up our fabrics, packing boxes, and preparing for our big move next week, so my Leichhardt studio is now CLOSED... however I look forward to welcoming everyone to my NEW STUDIO in Rozelle from the 7th JULY onwards. Once i settle in and decorate the new abode, I'll post some photos so you can check out our new space!

Until then, if anyone is interested in purchasing a SAMPE SALE gown, I do still have plenty of samples left, and I'm happy to sell them for the advertised prices until sold (to make space for NEW designs!!). So if you'd like to email me through my Culture Bridal Couture website, we can arrange an appointment for sometime AFTER 7th July to view my Sample Sale gowns. My email address is:-

lisa@culturebridal.com.au

OR you can phone and leave a message on (02) 9569 0551 and I'll return your call ASAP.

Wish me luck - moving is never fun but I am doing my best to enjoy it!

Til next time,

xx Lisa

MOVING SALE - Beautiful Lace Sample Gowns

Our big MOVING SALE on Saturday 18th June is just around the corner, and this week I am busy sorting through my vast collection of bridal samples, deciding what to sell and what to move into my new studio. It's amazing how many beautiful Culture Bridal Couture sample gowns, fabrics and gorgeous one-off pieces I have accumulated in the past 10 years of business... My lovely new studio in Rozelle is alot smaller than here - so I really do need to make some space!

Today's SALE gowns are from our vintage-inspired Lace collection, and these unique sample designs have been exquisitely hand-crafted from exclusive, imported European laces, with pure silk underneath.

The "Filigree French Lace" sample is a small size 8-10, and suits a bride with a slim figure, not too curvey. It has a boned inner corset bodice, and a slim A-Line skirt with a delicate train at the back. The detachable belt is priced separately, and we can offer different sash or ribbon belts in other colours, such as ivory or pale latte. The beautiful black Grosgrain ribbon belt (shown in the photos) is from Stephanie Browne, and features gorgeous silver metal embellishments.

The "Silver French Metallic Lace" gowns are absolutely stunning, and suit brides with a vintage theme, who want something elegant yet different (not white!). I have 2 samples to sell in this style, a smaller size 8, and also a larger size 12-14. For both these gowns, the bride must wear a bra underneath, and Shapewear (stretchy firming pants) can also be handy, to give a smooth line. Both these sample gowns feature silver brooches and hand-beaded Swarovski crystals along the Empire Line.

The lovely 2-piece "Lace Halter and Silk/ Tulle Skirt" in ivory is a fabulous look - both pieces are adjustable, so they can fit a size 10 or 12 easily, and possibly even a size 14 (on the bottom). The Lace on the corset is an Italian corded lace, and could also be hand-beaded if desired, for extra sparkle. The soft, flowy skirt can be worn with or without a petticoat underneath, depending on the look and fullness you want.

Please scroll down to previous postings on this blog for MORE SAMPLES & FABRICS available at our upcoming MOVING SALE. And if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me by email or phone.

PREVIEWS on my Sale gowns are available NOW, strictly by appointment only, for weekdays between now and 17th June. Just call or email me to arrange your private appointment here in my Leichardt studio, from Tuesdays through to Fridays.

Grecian Goddess Sample Gowns ON SALE!

Welcome back to my Culture Bridal Couture SALE BLOG!

We're holding a huge MOVING SALE on Saturday 18th June and are offering stunning Couture sample wedding gowns at fabulous prices! Today's gowns are from our Grecian collection, made from layers of pure silk georgette, nice and floaty and PERFECT for breezy and relaxed outdoor Spring/ Summer weddings. Both these styles feature silver metallic embellishments and Swarovski crystals, and look beautiful when accessorised with strappy silver heels and gorgeous silver earrings - no necklace needed.

The "Grecian Goddess" sample is the very first Couture sample of this style we ever made - so it's been used in photo shoots, displays and on the runway several times. Due to that fact, the price has been heavily reduced to clear!

The "Grecian Beaded Halter Gown" sample, on the other hand, is a NEW & IMPROVED version of this popular Couture style, a brand new sample fresh off the sewing machines, and is in an immaculate "as new" condition. It features a low, open back, and an adjustable waistband which means it can fit a size 8 or size 10 - sometimes even a size 12 (if you have a narrow waist).

Please scroll down to previous postings on this blog for MORE SAMPLES & FABRICS available at our upcoming MOVING SALE. And stay tuned as I post more stock on sale in the coming weeks.

NEWSFLASH -- if you'd like to preview or purchase of any of the couture sample gowns prior to the Sale day, I am now taking bookings (by appointment only) for weekdays between now and 17th June. Just call or email to arrange a private appointment with me.
