Merry Christmas and Best Wishes

I love this time of year.  There’s something magical about lights twinkling, tinsel sparkling and the happy vibe around the city.  We’ve had a delightful year at Akina Bridal Couture, assisting many beautiful brides and their families. 

We’d like to wish our clients a very Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous New Year.  We will be open over the New Year period, so please drop by or call to make an appointment.

We look forward to helping many more brides to make their special day magical in 2012.

Best wishes, Tracy

A Little Faith...

We are all in love with the new Faith gown! It became an instant favourite with many of our staff here, which is great feedback! With a hint of being something different, it is a proud new addition to our Ready to wear collection. Faith is layered in a soft vintage pink shade with dainty ivory lace appliqué detail. We’ve used four shades of tulle to get this perfect soft vintage pink colour, however, it can be made in an ivory shade as well. 

Styling you for your special day

We understand the importance of your special day.  To ensure you look and feel the way you have always dreamt of, we offer styling sessions.  It’s amazing the different looks you can create by varying your accessories – your veil, tiara, earrings, necklace, bracelet, bangles, hairclips and much more.  Our styling sessions give you the opportunity to experience and decide the look you are after for your special day.  Give us a call to arrange a time that suits you.
