I had the incredible honour of dressing my dear friend, Ali Wanchap for her wedding and was lucky enough to share in their special day at her family property in Hunchy, in Queensland’s hinterland at the weekend.
The process included many day trips to Sydney to work with my pattern makers, getting the fit just right. It truly was part of the journey that made the outcome so wonderful, and to see Ali marry Drew wearing TEGAN ASHA made me prouder than I could have imagined.
Witnessing Ali style Gown No. 7 with simple hair, minimal jewellery and spectacular red velvet and gold Jimmy Choos bought the whole look together, making it unique to her aesthetic and the look and feel of the wedding. That’s the beauty of ready to wear gowns, the styling process is organically worked in side-by-side with the design process.
Gown No. 7 developed out of a combination of Gown No. 3 and the lace from Gown No. 6. The trim was added to give it an extra element, and the deep V at the back along with transparent lace only increases the modernity of this gown that finely balances between classic vintage style and modern elegance.
Ali couldn’t have been a more beautiful bride to debut this style, and I will forever feel humbled by her gracious compliments on the feel and comfort of wearing TEGAN ASHA.
