Surprise wedding – Leah S Designs Real Weddings Jasmine and Karl

June 21, 2018 / no comments

Our beautiful couple Jasmine and Karl decided to turn their engagement party into a surprise wedding! It appears as if these surprise weddings have started to become a popular trend for those who are a little more spontaneous than most. But before we get to that, we need to hear a little more about this magical love story!

Background on the couple

The tale begins when Jasmine met Karl. They were both on a scout camp and found themselves chatting a lot and getting to know one another. The friendship started to grow into something more and they began dating. Jasmine told us a little but more about why their relationship is so great. She explained how the foundation their friendship set made their relationship what it is today, explaining that “we are genuinely good friends and that’s how our relationship grew”.

Flower Girl Dresses by Gingerpins | Leah S Designs

June 3, 2018 / no comments

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.

Last week we teamed up with our in house alterations team Gingerpins. 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.

Highlight your wedding colours with a matching ribbon around the waist. The Peggy Lee style is available in size 2 to 8 in white or ivory.

Wedding Photography interview with Black avenue Productions

May 26, 2018 / no comments

There is nothing better then seeing my dresses photographed in amazing locations over Eastern Europe.

Recently we were lucky enough to have one of our favourite 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?

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.

Georgina has been working at Leah’s designs for the past 6 years as a Stylist and has recently become the Store Manager.

I have a personal passion for the Plus Size Perfection collection, I love all of the dresses but mostly the brides that come to visit us. There is nothing quite like the transformation of self that can come from finding the right wedding dress. The perfect dress can delight your figure, body and soul.

Whats your most satisfying client experience?

When we helped a woman who came in with a tight budget. The bride had to move the wedding forward as her father had been diagnosed with a terminal disease. Fortunately we found the most gorgeous dress; she loved it and dad loved it too. The whole room was in tears, including me!

Georgina’s advice for brides before coming in to choose a wedding dress is to have a vision in mind of what type of bride you want to be. If you’re not sure think of your location and be open to our suggestions and don’t be afraid to think out side of the box. Keep in mind that the gorgeous Pinterest photo of the dress on your phone might not be the perfect dress for you. Some popular theme’s at the moment are Vintage, Rustic, Glam, Country, Modern.

Dandenong Weddings: in the shadows of the misty mountains you’ll find Lyrebird Falls.

Home to one of Victoria’s favourite Dandenong wedding 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 colours of the rainforest really made our dresses and the floral arrangements really pop! Boho wedding dresses in Melbourne

Photographer Dewinta Dandot was looking to create a colourful bohemian vibe for the day. “The atmosphere and greenery was the perfect fit for the vision I was trying to achieve – moody, earthy with a bright colour.”

Morgan and Tom’s Botanical Garden Weddings

April 16, 2018 / no comments

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.

How To Travel With Your Wedding Dress

March 21, 2018 / no comments

How to Travel With Your Wedding Dress is very often treated as an afterthought and sometimes only remembered a few days before jetting off. As if you needed something else to stress about, right? It’s your big day, and everything needs to be PERFECT. So how do you keep your dress perfectly pressed up to the moment you walk down the aisle? We understand the struggle is so real when maneuvering in a car or on a plane with your precious dress, so we’ve put together a few top tips on How to Travel With Your Wedding Dress.

Most important things to note

The fabric of the dress is important to note. Ideally, you should hold up to the latest possible moment before you slip on your dress to avoid wrinkling, especially for materials like pure silk. Poly mixes, chiffon, jersey, tulle and lace hold up the best.

Clearly label your carry on with your name, email, phone number and address for both your home and destination.

Packing into a garment bag

Keep your gown on the hanger and pull the hook through the garment bag’s top opening.
Keep the train and skirt outside of the bag.
Hang the gown facing you with the top half inside the bag.
Take the dress’ bottom left and right sides and fold them into the center in a trifold. Note: sheath dresses may not need this step.
Keep the two sides of the skirt folded and roll the train from the bottom until it is short enough to place in the bottom of the bag. Lace and other textured fabrics are less likely to show wrinkles. If you’re careful about how you fold and roll the train, there will be a lot less wrinkling and touch-up pressing needed upon arrival.
Zip close the garment bag. Guide the zipper up to the top as you zip, with your middle finger behind the zipper. This protects any delicate beading, tulle or lace on your wedding gown from catching and ripping in the zipper.
Lay the garment bag on a flat surface, and carefully roll it into a loose trifold.

Forget White, It’s All About Colour

March 15, 2018 / no comments

Leah S Designs is now designing wedding dresses in black, blush pink, latte and champagne. Leah loves coloured dresses now, after 14 years of making dresses in white and ivory. We spoke with her to uncover more about the gorgeous coloured dresses currently available on her website.

Leah started incorporating colour in the wedding dresses at Leah S Designs about two years ago, starting with an all purple dress. Now, her coloured range has expanded to over 10 different styles! If you would like to give your wedding a unique touch, go with a dash of colour in your outfit. Leah believes that champagne with ivory gives off an especially couture look and feel.

Ivory bridal lace over Latte trend

Leah loves trend spotting from American designers and taking in her customers’ feedback, which led her to finally incorporating colour to her fashion label. She follows coutourists on Instagram and noticed a lot of ‘ivory lace over latte’ going on, took inspiration, and created the Georgie and Katherine wedding dresses in those two tones.

“As a designer, you learn very quickly which colours are safe to use. You can’t go wrong with neutrals – for example, the blush pink colour has the power to warm up a cool skin tone. The latte can make you look more tan and the champagne can even out your skin tone if you’re on the darker side.”

Sarra just one of Leah S Designs beautiful brides

Nicholas never dreamt that Sarra would be interested in him. Being the older sister of one of his best mates, Sarra and Nicholas grew up in the same friendship circles, but they never imagined they’d end up together.

Their first encounter was at a friend’s birthday party where Sarra was drawn to Nicholas’ blue velvet jacket. Nicholas remembers Sarra gently touching his shoulder to feel the velvet fabric.

Budget Wedding: Keep It Simple and Save Money!

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 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 your budget wedding.

Reduce the size of your wedding 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 wedding party means more money spent on hair, makeup, dresses, shoes, gifts and accessories. For those who can’t possibly see themselves with a smaller wedding 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.
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 wedding.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.

The Designer: Leah Ann

February 7, 2018 / no comments

Let’s dig a little deeper into the story behind these gorgeous gowns. Leah Sukroo 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.

Leah’s 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.

Her mother, 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.

Where it all started for Jacqueline and Josh – Leah S Designs real brides weddings

Josh and I met while performing together in a children’s performing company when we were 18 and 17 and there was a mutual attraction. We became friends and were both accepted into the same university course in Ballarat. We decided with another girl from the company that we would all share a house. However upon moving in together we didn’t get along at all! It was after a year of living together that we realised our ‘hate’ for each other was the cliched story of a fine line between love and hate. We have been inseparable ever since.

A little about your wedding journey

Josh and I became engaged in August 2014 and were so excited to start planning our dream wedding that we dove straight in and got very carried away!. We started planning this huge extravagant wedding and got caught up in all of the latest wedding crazes and trends. As many real brides do. Going to every wedding expo and bought every wedding magazine under the sun. However in February 2015 we found out that we were expecting a little bundle of joy and realised that our priorities with the wedding had gotten way out of hand. We quickly canceled most aspects of that wedding, which lead to a sense of great relief!. We had lost focus of why we wanted to be married and became carried away with the idea of our perfect wedding. Instead of celebrating our love. Continue Reading…

Nicole and Alex have known each other since they were 18, bumping in to each other here and there. After meeting again at a friend’s party. A mutual friend convinced Alex to have a party the following week so he and Nicole had an excuse to meet again. And as they say, the rest is history. Nicole and Alex picked out the engagement ring and kept it hidden for a while before Alex popped the question. A few months later and they told all their family and friends.

Collaboration photo shoot at the Narbethong Hall

Photo shoot at the Narbethong Hall

I was asked a couple of weeks ago to take part in a Collaboration photo shoot being organised by Narbethong Hall committee. Nicole from Nics button buds took the lead of the team to help show us the hall. All its lovely facilities make it a perfect location for wedding ceremony’s and as a reception venue. After the bush fires in 2009 destroyed the original town hall it was also for a great cause to get on board with.

I love collaborating and meeting new people in similar businesses. And not having to organise every part of a photo shoot takes the pressure off. Even when it means I have to stand back and let the shoot progress with out me being in charge which is actually really difficult.

The day started at 10:00 (love the country start time’s) with hair and make up. Then started by taking some evening style photos in the sitting area in front of the fire, considering it was about 5 degrees it was a good spot to warm up also.

Wedding dresses featured

Poppy wore our Sparkling gold dress for the first photo and the dress is available in gold, silver or bronze. Next arrival style photos in the Teneille dress. Getting out of the cars and a couple out side shots of the Bride and Groom once the sun decided to start shining.

Next dress worn was my new favourite style the Georgie wedding dress. A latte and ivory combination of fabrics that every one was dying to see on and it didn’t disappoint, what do you think?

When Mel kissed Steve at the snow late one night during a work weekend away, only to run off laughing. She had no idea that in just a few short years she would marry and start a family with him. While the surprising but happy news that they were expecting meant a few quick changes to the wedding plan. It did nothing to dampen the party atmosphere.

Erin decided to be free from stress on her big day, remembering her mantra everything happens for a reason.

The wedding dress

Before Erin found Leah S Designs she felt disheartened after some less than perfect bridal shopping experiences. Her Bridget gown is from the Perfection Bridal range – a romantic lace gown with off-the- shoulder sleeve.

Your Ultimate Emergency Guide: What to Stash for Your Wedding Day

Four Reasons Not to Get Married Outside

An outdoor wedding can evoke otherworldly feelings, creating a romantic, picturesque scene. But it can also be a bug and rain-fueled disaster that leaves you overwhelmed and disappointed. We love outdoor weddings, but they’re not for everyone. Here are four signs you shouldn’t have an outdoor wedding.

You’ve made it this far. You bought the wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses, got the ring, and wrote your vows. Now it’s time to enjoy the most romantic day of your life. If you want to have a truly relaxing day, though, steer clear of these five wedding day destroyers.

When you envision your walk down the aisle, you’re probably more focused on the dress than what’s underneath it. A wedding is a romantic undertaking, and your new spouse is going to be just as eager to see what’s under your dress. Wedding day lingerie should be something special. Here are five tips for choosing wedding day Lingerie to bear in mind when making your selections.
