At a stylish studio in Brisbane, you will find some of Australia’s most stunning bespoke wedding dresses by When Freddie met Lilly. Think femininity, elegance, silk, lace and embellishment and you’ll start to get an idea of what to expect. Brisbane brides started falling in love with this brand back in 2012 when Vanessa Hoe launched the first collection, which focused on bohemian looks using tulle, silk and lace. Ever since then, When Freddie met Lilly, which Vanessa named after her gorgeous niece and nephew, has gone from strength to strength and in 2015, they were even invited to showcase two of their collections at New York Fashion Week. Now, brides from Australia and beyond head down to Vanessa’s studio for an appointment with one of the experienced stylists who guide them through the process; adding, removing or adjusting gems, jewels, sleeves and skirts to create a custom-made and unique wedding gown.
