Accessorising Your Gown: Veils, Jewellery, and Styling Tips
Transform your bridal look without changing your gown. Detachable sleeves add drama and elegance for the ceremony, then can be removed for carefree dancing, while silk or tulle scarves bring soft, romantic layers that move beautifully with you. These versatile touches let brides express both timeless elegance and playful personality — all in one dress.
Unexpected Brides: Why Trying Different Styles Could Lead to “The One”
Sometimes, the gown you least expect ends up being the one. Social media trends and Pinterest inspiration can be fun, but they shouldn’t dictate your choice. Anna Campbell brides know the secret: trust your instincts, be open to trying unexpected styles, and let your stylist guide you. The dress that surprises you might just capture your personality, style, and heart in a way no trend ever could.
Trusting Your Gut: Advice Every Bride Needs When Choosing Her Dress
For Anna Campbell brides, finding the one isn’t about trends or opinions — it’s about that unmistakable feeling in the moment. From Rosie’s happy tears in the Dahlia gown to Tayla discovering a combination she never imagined, the common thread is clear: trust your gut. When a gown makes you feel radiant, confident, and unmistakably yourself, you know it’s the one — and that instinct, more than anything else, guides the perfect choice.
Your Wedding Dress Shopping Timeline: When to Start and How to Prepare
Finding your wedding gown is more than a shopping trip — it’s a journey filled with anticipation, discovery, and a little bit of magic.
From exploring designers and dreaming up your perfect silhouette, to trying unexpected styles and trusting your stylist, each step brings you closer to the gown that feels unmistakably you.
At Anna Campbell Bridal, this journey is thoughtfully guided, from saying “yes” to your made-to-order gown to the final tailored touches that make it uniquely yours.

Set within the Italian gardens of Coombe in the Yarra Valley, the day unfolded with a romantic European feel — blue and white florals, sunlit moments and guests immersed across the grounds from ceremony to celebration. Saying yes to the Dahlia gown felt instinctive, a moment sealed with happy tears, bubbles and loved ones in the Hawthorn boutique. With bespoke floral details added by hand, the gown became a true reflection of her — timeless, personal and effortlessly beautiful.

What 2025 Has Taught Me as a Bridal Designer
From the very first try-on to the final fitting, 2025 revealed something quietly powerful — not just about the gowns, but about the women wearing them.
Spending a full year in the fitting room gives you an education no runway or trend report ever could. In our Melbourne boutique, I watched hundreds of brides arrive in different emotional states — anticipation, uncertainty, excitement — and leave with clarity, confidence and calm.
These are the lessons 2025 left me with.
Discover Maison Angèle
Maison Angèle is more than a bridal boutique — it’s an intimate, elegant space where every bride can feel radiant and confident. Maud, the owner, guides each bride with care and celebrates every magical 'YES' moment with a toast, making the journey to the perfect gown as joyful as the wedding day itself.
BROOKE | STEVE
Some weddings just hum with joy from the very first moment, and this celebration at the Convent Daylesford was one of them. A carefree bridal morning, a groom nervously watching the weather, and a perfectly timed walk through the garden set the tone for a day filled with heart, family, and unforgettable moments. As speeches moved everyone to tears and the dance floor pulsed long past midnight — with even a 91-year-old grandma tearing it up — this wedding became the kind you remember for a lifetime.
Tayla | Todd
On a golden November afternoon in 2025, beneath the rustic charm of Perricoota Station in Moama, Todd and his bride exchanged vows by the river’s edge. With the water shimmering softly behind them and 190 loved ones gathered close, their ceremony felt as intimate as it was heartfelt. As the sun dipped lower, the celebration moved to the historic packing shed, where laughter, music and the warmth of family and friends filled the night. It was a day woven with deep emotion — a wedding overflowing with love from beginning to end.

The First “Yes”
Every business has a first — a first client, a first “yes,” a first spark of belief that it could all work. For Emily, that moment came with Charlotte. From an impromptu chat at a venue open day to a heartfelt “yes” to the Finley gown, this is the story of how one bride’s trust turned a dream into reality.
Tayla | Jayden
Tayla and Jayden’s Fiji wedding was the perfect blend of sun-soaked relaxation and heartfelt moments. Tayla chose the Hudson Bridal Topper paired with the Presley Skirt — hand-beaded with ivory pearls and featuring an open back — a chic statement of elegance in a relaxed, effortless shape. From their ceremony on a private lawn overlooking the ocean to a floating bar in the Pacific, every detail was unforgettable.
