The Wedding Edit: Issue 129

Every issue of Queensland Brides, our Wedding Wire pages bring together the labels, launches and little details worth knowing about before you plan another thing. This time it’s a white bridal suit with vintage bones, a Brisbane boutique now stocking a beloved Sunshine Coast gown label, hand embroidered groom’s shoes made to order in Spain, and a Granite Belt venue opening on 650 acres of centenary farmland. Here’s everything from Issue 129, all in one place.

SUIT YOURSELF

The white wedding suit is having a moment, and Sumissura is leading the charge with this made-to-measure white skirt suit, designed specifically for the modern bride who wants to step away from tradition without sacrificing elegance. The look centres on a single- button jacket with a soft shawl lapel, paired with a fluid skirt and a classic pillbox hat. It’s a silhouette with vintage bones and a thoroughly contemporary sensibility. sumissura.com

PETALS & LUXURY

PETALS & Curated in Queensland’s Scenic Rim, Confetti Couture’s premium dried flower petal confetti is 100% natural, biodegradable and designed to photograph beautifully. With no dyes and no glycerine, these romantic petals come in bespoke blends from soft ivory and blush to deep, dramatic reds. confetticouture.com.au

Hot tip: As a VIP Bag & Bubbles sponsor at this year’s Queensland Brides Wedding Expo, Confetti Couture is gifting 100 lucky guests a luxury hamper valued at $75.

WHERE TEXTURE TELLS A STORY

Harlo Australia’s Whisper Collection understands the shoes that make a bride stop and look twice are rarely the loudest ones in the room. Building its magic from the finest details, these three styles in particular are worth knowing about.

The Chanel Pearl flat brings hand-sewn pearls across soft tulle pleating, all the romance of the label’s beloved Chantelle silhouette in a comfortable, all-day style. Gigi Lace takes a different approach with delicate floral lace and an iridescent glow on a sculptural fluted heel; sheer and refined in equal measure. And Gigi Tulle layers airy pleated tulle over the same slingback silhouette, adding movement and dimension that feels genuinely couture-inspired. Three textures. One very beautiful collection. harloaustralia.com.au

NEW GRANITE BELT VENUE

Opening this July in Pozieres, the Granite Belt has a remarkable new wedding destination. Set across 650 acres of working orchard farmland just 2.5 hours south-west of Brisbane, Lagnicourt Weddings & Events is the passion project of the McMahon family, who have farmed this land for four generations and marked their centenary year by transforming it into something truly extraordinary. French-inspired in its elegance, Queensland in its warmth, the venue features two outdoor ceremony spaces, a reception room for up to 150 guests, an open fireplace lounge, and the kind of photography backdrop you simply cannot manufacture. Now taking bookings for 2026 and 2027. lagnicourt.com.au

SLIP INTO STYLE

The getting-ready photos are some of the most treasured of the day, and Homebodii knows exactly how to make them shine. The Australian label’s bridal robes and slips are made for moments like these: impossibly soft, beautifully considered, and designed to photograph as well as they feel.

The Peyton Long Robe pairs intricate lace trim with OEKO-TEX-certified satin in a full-length silhouette that feels genuinely luxurious, while the Peyton Short Slip underneath keeps the look light and feminine.

For something softer still, the Valentina Chiffon Robe and matching Valentina Slip offer an ethereal, flowing alternative with all the same quiet elegance.

Both styles are available in blush and white, with complimentary monogramming available for a personal touch. homebodii.com

THE GROOM’S SHOE MOMENT HAS ARRIVED

There is a moment when every detail a groom chooses stops being decoration and starts being his. Hockerty’s new Ceremonial Shoes line understands that completely.

The made-to-measure house has brought its signature hand- embroidered monogram to the one category most grooms still buy off the rack. Each pair is made to order in Spain and personalised with hand-stitched initials, a wedding date, or both, sewn onto the vamp or discreetly tucked into the lining. Thread colour, typeface and placement are all chosen through Hockerty’s online configurator, and the collection spans velvet slippers, Oxfords, Derbies and loafers in calf leather and suede, designed to sit cleanly under a tuxedo or morning suit. Prices start at USD $199, with a two- to three-week production window. hockerty.com

YOUR NOOSA DRESS, NOW IN BRISBANE

For Brisbane brides who have admired Erin Clare Bridal from afar, the Noosa trip just became optional. The beloved Sunshine Coast label, designed and made in Australia, is now stocked at The Blushery in Ascot.

The Blushery’s by-appointment boutique on Lancaster Road is one of Brisbane’s most thoughtfully curated bridal destinations, and the addition of Erin Clare gowns makes it an even more compelling reason to book a fitting. theblushery.com.au and erinclare.com.au
