EDITOR’S Letter

Western Australia Wedding & Bride

Bridal NEWS • From upcoming events to much-anticipated store openings, here’s insight into the happenings of the local wedding industry.

TOTALLY Stunning • Weddings are often synonymous with white, gold, silver and beige – softer colours that work in harmony to create an elegant and comforting vibe. However, for the bride who dares to be different and loves to live loud, injecting a pop of colour into your bridal makeup might be the perfect way to bring the fun to the aisle. Here, Western Australia Wedding & Bride’s Bridget Armitage sits down with Georgia Bevan, owner of Total Brides Hair & Makeup, to discuss how you can add some colour to your eye makeup in a way that is cohesive with your wedding day style.

LIVING IN A Grecian Dream • It’s a joyous and exciting day for most brides when they’ve decided on their wedding dress. All that searching finally seems worth it once you have the dress ready for the ceremony. A wedding dress can be a big statement and reflection of the bride’s sense of style as well as the overall vibe of the wedding.

What if, instead, you wanted to have something a little more unconventional and relaxed? You don’t necessarily want to undermine the importance of the occasion, but the black-and-white tuxedos and the prim and proper princess look just isn’t your style. Well, you may find your prayers answered. Editor of Western Australia Wedding & Bride, Robin Harper, sits down with the owner of Zolotas Australia Bridal Couture, Sophie Linardopoulos, to chat about her gorgeous boho-styled wedding dresses and the uniqueness they bring to the wedding industry.
