You have visualised it in your head, devoured the bridal magazines and collected screenshots of your dream dress from Pinterest. Now it is time to hit the stores! Finding the dress for your wedding day can be an overwhelming task. So to make sure you do not miss anything we are here to arm you with our list of questions and tips.
1. Do I need to make an appointment?
Every bridal shop works differently and that’s why a quick call to ask for an appointment can save you a lot of time later. At Leah S Designs, yes you will need to make an appointment especially on the weekends. Either book on our home page, by email or by giving us a call. You can set all your appointments on the same weekend, so it will be easier to have your pick with all the designs fresh in your mind.
2. Who do I bring with me?
Check with the bridal salon about how many people they allow and get there with your bride tribe. Make sure your friends understand you, what you are looking for, and are supportive of your choice. It’s easy for your day to go pear shape when you invite to many people with you all wanting you to try on what they like and needing more attention from you, when the day is about you!
3. Do you have something that will match my style?
When you visit us, we get you to fill out an information form so we can help you better. Choosing from the styles you like and your price point. Sometimes, a consultant can retrieve a gem of a piece that might be perfect for you. After all, they are the ones who know the best about the gowns in their shop. You can ask them for some recommendations as it will only make your job easier.

4. Does the store offer customizations? (And its ok to ask how much.)
You will always need some kind of alteration for your dress and not every bridal house has an option of on-site alterations. By the way, yes we offer alterations. If you want a touch of exclusivity and tweak some details of the wedding gown, it is important to ask your stylist this question. Take it a bit further and once you find your dream dress, ask how much it will cost be to shortened, and if any other alterations are needed.
5. Does the store charge extra for alterations?
Alteration charges are one of the costs of bridal stores you may not think about, so it is important to ask about it and get that out of the way in advance.
6. How long does it take to order a wedding dress?
Some bridal stores can take months to prepare your dress and this is why many women start the hunt 8 to 9 months ahead of the wedding. We offer a 12 week delivery and then allow 5 weeks before the wedding date for fittings and alterations.
7. How much is the deposit and what is the cancellation policy?
A wedding dress is a big purchase so the deposit is 30% with a 12 to 16 week laybuy. We also go over the terms to be agreed by both of us with a contract. So be mindful of contingencies like postponement or cancellations and ask about the policies and deposit.
8. Do not be afraid to say what your budget is, and ask to stay within it.
You must have set a number for the gown, so let the stylist know about it. This will also help in narrowing down your options later. Then its up to you if you want to explore more expensive options.
9. Remember to ask if you can take pictures
Not every store is ok with photos, we are actually one of those store and prefer it if you don’t take photos until you have purchased a dress. If you would like to know all the reasons why we do this read here.
Trying different dresses can create confusion and we understand that you may want to take photo’s
We hope this can make things a little easier for you. Now get, set, shopping!
Leah started incorporating colour in the gowns about six years ago, creating an all purple dress. Now, her coloured range has expanded to over ten different styles! If you would like to give your wedding a unique touch, go with a dash of color in your outfit. Leah believes that champagne with ivory gives off an especially couture look and feel.

Wedding And Debutante Photo Shoot.
The weather was perfect last Wednesday for our rooftop photo shoot. Our theme was Summer in the City for our deb dress collection and the landscape of Melbourne sure didn’t disappoint. The photo shoot featured our signature looks for this season. Bridal lace, soft chiffons and tulle skirts.
Budget Wedding: Keep It Simple and Save Money!
Let’s face it, planning a wedding and saving money usually don’t go hand in hand. From booking the venue to sourcing party favours for your guests, money plays a vital role in the success of your big day. Beware that seemingly small budget wedding can spiral out of control. If you need some tips on how to plan a budget wedding, read on.
According to Easy Weddings Australian Wedding Survey 2016, Aussies spent on average $30,985 on their wedding days. If you don’t have a cool $30k lying around, don’t worry just yet! There are plenty of ways to reduce that final figure. Here is some helpful tips I’ve learnt from some of our own brides to apply to save money on your big day.
How to organize a budget wedding.
- Reduce the size of your bridal party
So it’s your dream to have your three besties, sister, cousin and nail technician standing with you at the altar. If you’ve done your research you’ll know having a large bridal party means more money spent on hair, makeup, bridesmaids dresses, shoes, gifts and accessories. For those who can’t possibly see themselves with a smaller bridal party. Maybe suggest the idea of splitting the costs with your bridesmaids. I’m sure most of them will be willing to pitch in, even if it’s just for the dress and shoes. -
How to save money on catering
- Swap single serve dishes for share plates
The traditional entree, main, dessert menu can certainly set you back a pretty penny, especially for those planning on having a rather sizeable guest list. Consider serving tapas style dishes that each table can share. This usually makes things easier for the catering company and might also encourage your guests to interact with one another.
Why we no longer allow photo’s in our bridal store.
In this day and age, camera phones are a way of life, I also love taking photo’s with my phone and it feels great looking back at memories. I know exactly where you are coming from, when you want to take photos trying on dresses to look a back on. This is why it was such a controversial decision to make. Ultimately I have made the decision not to allow photography in our store. Most of my brides are amazing and understand straight away.
I’m going to give some examples below,
of why we are no longer allowing photos in store. Imagine if you were selling, say a dress from your home. It’s a gorgeous dress, you designed it yourself and people are coming over to have a look at it. Try it on, maybe purchase it for an event.
Perfection Bridal at Montsalvat
I just have to share with you all our video of the Plus size Perfection Bridal at Montsalvat campaign filmed at Monsalvat estate. Its the exclusive look at the behind the Scenes at the Plus size perfection photo shoot. Photographing the latest “Its a love story” campaign.
Shown on Location at Montsalvat in the leafy green suburb of Eltham Victoria.
“With a talented team we got the day rolling with our model Sophie Shepard hair and make up. While the stylists and Photographers double checked locations and lighting. After a sleepless night it was time to get to work, lucky for us there was nothing to worry about with an exceptionally talented team of Sophie, Lyndel and Daniel from Lost in Love photography, Janice wu and Michael our videographer after viewing the first images Lyn and I did a little jig of excitement. The first dress we shot was the Andrea dress with the soft and flowing skirt.
We moved on to the other wedding dresses such as the Anastasia, the Gwyneth, the Odessa and the Felicity dress. My favorite shot from the day is the Odessa and the Felicity, although its a tough choice. What do you think? Gorgeous, am I right!

I love the feed back from this campaign from being featured in the wedding blogs Wedded Wonderland, Inspirati, and Confetti daydreams. Our photo’s from the campaign have been pinned on pintrest in excess of 5,000 times.

Join us for some pure romance at our Lysterfield lake wedding, showing off Leah S Designs wedding dresses.

I love how the darker florals and the Vera wedding dress in black contrast with the winter lake.

Our team decided we wanted to show a campaign with a real size model. Don’t you think Rachelle (our stunning size 12 beauty) make’s size an non issue.
How to accessorize wedding dresses with colour.
At Leah S Designs we have many wedding dresses in store. Because not everyone wants to or can wear white. We have put together a styled bridal shoot to help. Sometimes blush ore champagne is a far more flattering colour depending on the tone of your skin. Choosing a colour that compliments will liven up your skin tone and not leave you looking tired and drained. We have featured the Katherine gown in this styled shoot. Katherine is available in ivory or latte with a stunning ivory lace overlay. Come into our bridal shop and try on sizes 6 to 34.

Keep calm and flower on!
Most of us have been to at least one wedding where the flower girl throws a fit and makes the wedding day more stressful for the bride. Whether it’s stage fright or they’re simply not having a good day, there are many factors that come into play when involving young child in a wedding. Luckily there a few things you can try to avoid any fits during the ceremony!
- Prepare for a parent to walk down with them: Sometimes the pressure is too much for a little one and having a parent by their side will help them be more at ease! If a parent or even an older sibling is present for their big moment it may make things less stressful.
- Bribe them: Desperate times call for desperate measures, am I right? Sometimes bribing your little flower girl with a treat afterwards may help smooth over any bumps in the road.
- Try to get the child to nap before the wedding a rest can do the world of wonders.
- Get her to help choose her dress: Depending on the age of course! Most little girls will be much more excited about their part in the wedding if they have some choice in their outfit. Including them in picking out their dress will show them how much you value their part in your special day!
- Know if your child is mature enough to be a flower girl, my daughter was asked when she was 2.5 and I just knew she was to young to do it. The timing of the wedding was at nap time and it would have been very stressful getting her to behave. Sadly I declined and every one was very understanding.
Flower girl dresses.
Last week we teamed up with our in house wedding dress alterations team Ginger pins. This is the cutest photo shoot we have ever done, don’t you think? Amy has created the most gorgeous collection of Flower girl dresses. We can’t wait to show them off to you all.
Flower girl dresses come in children’s sizes 2 – 8 in white and ivory and are made in Melbourne.
Prices start from $150 to $220.
Let’s add some colour.
Some times simple is the best, with this traditional option available in white or ivory.
Flower girls have long played an important part in weddings. But when did having a flower girl become so normalised in the wedding world?
History of flower girls
It’s hard to be certain as to when this tradition began, but some have estimated that it dates back to Ancient Roman times. Young ushers would carry wheat and other goods to bless the newlyweds with fertility and good fortune. In the medieval ages they were said to carry garlic in order to ward off evil spirits. Flower girls were also used in weddings to symbolise the Bride’s loss of innocence.
Things are much different in today’s modern world of course! While flower girls no longer hold such a strong symbolic importance in the wedding festivities, they have become part of a long standing tradition. And it doesn’t hurt that they’re cute as can be!!
Come in to the Leah S Designs building at 3/167 Princes Highway, Hallam and have a look at this adorable collection of flower girl dresses today! For more information you can contact us at (03) 97032198.
There is nothing better then seeing my wedding dress designs photographed in amazing locations over Eastern Europe with stunning wedding photography.
Recently we were lucky enough to have one of our favorite photography duo Lowina and Derek from Black Avenue Productions head over to Europe on a wedding photography escapade!
Join us for their adventure’s photographing our Leah S Designs bride Anna and Melitta. Can you believe they captured 12 weddings in two weeks!
Q: Why Europe?
Lowina @Black Avenue Productions:
It all started when we were invited to shoot Ben & Judit’s wedding in Hungary, and decided to stay for three weeks and take on more couple photo sessions while we were there. How can you say no to an extra long working holiday!
Q: What made you choose eastern Europe for wedding photography?
Derek @Black Avenue Productions:
Judit, the bride is originally from Hungary. She wanted to get married in the biggest church in Hungary and have something truly memorable to impress friends and family.
So we decided to stay a week in Prague and Vienna. These breath taking locations were a mecca for an art and music lover like me.
Q: Can you tell us a little about the couples you photographed?
Lowina @Black Avenue Productions:
Anna & Libor got married a few days before Judit’s wedding shoot, however we couldn’t make it to their actual wedding day as we had already committed to other shoots. So they booked us for post-wedding photos instead.
It was an early 6am start, the couple wanted the Prague Old Town Square and Charles bridge locations and to get the best photos we had to get in early before the crowds.
I love pre and post wedding shoots as you get more relaxed photos with less stress for the couple.
Anna wore our Daisy wedding dress and we think she looked absolutely beautiful. She said it was very comfortable to wear.
With her natural beauty, I only put on a light touch of make up and a bit of lip balm and she was ready to go.
Dandenong Weddings: in the shadows of the misty mountains you’ll find Lyrebird Falls.
Home to one of Victoria’s favorite Dandenong weddings venues, we were lucky enough to be asked to work with Dewinta from Dewinta Dandot Photography. After arriving at Lyrebird Falls I did a quick location scout, I was sure the cool colors of the rain forest really made our dresses and the floral arrangements really pop!
This styled shoot featuring on easy weddings.com
Photographer Dewinta Dandot was looking to create a colorful bohemian vibe for the day. Using Forest greenery to achieve a boho vision. Moody, earthy with a bright colour.
When we first met Morgan she was excited but extremely nervous for her big day. After hearing her heartwarming story of how she met her future husband we couldn’t resist re-telling. Let’s give you a sneak peak inside their magical garden weddings.
The proposal
It was a warm summer night in Melbourne and Morgan had made plans to go to her friends birthday party. After being a little apprehensive about going she finally convinced herself to go. When she arrived at the bar she sat with her friend for a while and then headed to the bar for a drink. Upon her return she noticed her soon to be fiance, Tom was sitting in her seat. Not wanting to make Tom move she sat in the seat opposite him. Tom couldn’t keep his eyes off Morgan, offering to walk her home at the end of the night. Their instant attraction soon turned into a beautiful romance.
Five years into their relationship, Tom decided it was time to pop the question and proposed to Morgan at the very bar where they first met.
Let’s dig a little deeper into the story behind these gorgeous gowns. Leah Ann has been a Melbourne-based designer for over 15 years, retailing affordable designer and plus size wedding dresses with the perfect accessories to match! She’s definitely come a long way to achieve what Leah S Designs is today since her humble beginnings, working in a barn from a very young age. Background
Leah started off making debutante dresses for her neighbours and friends, but one thing led to another, and now she’s helping to dress women from all over the world. Running a bridal business was never part of the plan at 19 years old, but sewing was always in her blood.
Thanks mum! those craft days were worth while.
My mum, Lyn Sukroo, used to have her own gallery with silk products and has been involved in plus size fashion for over 30 years. As such, Leah spent several years doing piece work for her family’s business and found that sewing came naturally to her. Lyn has since dedicated her time to her daughter’s brand to help her expand by creating the Plus Size Perfection Collection. The Plus Size Perfection Collection, designed for sizes above 16, boasts both international and national recognition and is constantly growing. (TEN new dresses are added each season!)
Join me, its an icy bridal dress photo shoot today.
Another day another little bit of craziness! Join me for an icy bridal dress photo shoot in the Australian bush lands. I’m going to take you to the other side of the glamorous images we show on www.leahsdesigns.com.au. A photo shoot is a great opportunity to let out some creativity. And escape from the day to day running of a business and get out of the office. I also love designing the dresses, actually the dress designing is number 1 and doing the photo shoots is love number 2. I told myself the night before I would make time to make some videos on the day. The first video was taken at about 6:30 in the morning so I was still in sleep mode.
An extra thank you to my in laws Grazyna and Richard for letting me trash their perfect house.

6 Mantras to Repeat as You Plan Your Wedding day
- The marriage matters more than the wedding. No matter what happens on my wedding day, I have a lifetime of wedded bliss to look forward to.
- I do not have to be perfect to be good and worthy of love. A perfect wedding will not solve all the problems in my life.
- I am good and strong, and the stress of today will quickly give way to the triumphs of tomorrow.
- I love myself, my family, and my partner. Love is the most important thing (Note that this sort of mantra, known as loving-kindness meditation, can also work wonders for reducing anger. And as all brides know, anger is sometimes part of the wedding planning package).
- There is no such thing as a perfect wedding. I can enjoy even an imperfect wedding day.
- There is no such thing as a perfect bride. I am perfect and good enough just as I am.

A big special Thank You to all the artists.
I just want to send a big shout out to all the amazing artists who did a smashing job on the last photo shoot. I believe we captured the heart and soul of all the wedding dresses we photographed that day. You can also hire these lovely ladies for your wedding day also.
Flowers were made by Brown from Buds and roses in Pakenham,
I wanted purple gerbras with a touch of yellow for a table display and a posy. She exceeded my floral expectations (and was so reasonably priced).
Hair and Make up was done by Nathalie from Doll face
I had her do my make up for a wedding, I knew she would be more than able to do camera friendly make up, and I was right. If you are still looking for a make up artist she will take care of you and your girls.
Thanks Lee for letting me use your studio, if you are looking for commercial photography send me an email and I can pass on details.
Wedding of the year
Oscar-winner George Clooney recently married human rights supporter Amal Alamuddin in a lovely wedding this past September. However, while most of the the buzz was about how romantic the wedding was. The question on everyone’s mind was. “Who designed her wedding dresses?” Alamuddin’s dress was designed by Oscar de la Renta. Her wedding gown featured a bespoke off-the-shoulder design with a soft texture made from French lace to create an elegant look. The final touches included hand-embroidered pearls, diamanté detail and a long train.
