Real Bride: Naomi James & Ben Pinkerton

Naomi and Ben were married on the 17th March 2012 at Hunter Baillie Memorial Presbyterian Church, Annandale. Here, Naomi talks about the fine details of how her elegant look came together.

 

 

 

 

"I had my hair piled high in a bun, and my hairdresser wove little tiny plaits across the bun. I wore tear drop crystal earrings and a beautiful tennis bracelet.

 

The accessories complemented the gown perfectly - since the neckline was so intricate and the bow so prominent I had minimal jewellery to keep attention focused on the dress itself. The heels gave me the height that made the fishtail bottom slightly more elongated."

 

Naomi describes her wedding as 'Garden-Glam' as you can see the picturesque backdrops in these beautiful images.

 



"I loved the fish tail - I think it really accentuated my natural body shape and the neckline was beautiful, very elegant with its lace - like appearance."

Naomi's gown is by Spanish brand, La Sposa.

Congratulations Naomi & Ben!

Vintage Wedding Glam

Inspired by the 1920's-1960's, vintage is proving to be quite popular in the wedding industry. Here at Akina Bridal Couture, we are in love with everything vintage! So we have put together a vintage inspired look for you...

 

Whether you are having a beach wedding, country wedding or garden wedding, vintage wedding dresses are versatile for different themes!

 

 

 

 

This lace comb birdcage veil would go perfectly with the cocktail wedding dresses above. It simply completes the look, keeping in with the vintage style.



 

If a birdcage veil isn't your style, you can opt for a lace head comb instead. Subtle and elegant.

 

 

For a full length vintage dress, you can never go wrong with beautiful lace and soft hues.

Why not include some soft lace detailing in your bouquet to keep the vintage theme throughout your wedding?

 

 

 

 

Colours are a very important element for vintage themes.

 

 

Akina Bridal Couture will be hosting an Exclusive Karen Willis Holmes Designer Day

We are very excited to announce our in store designer day where you will have the chance to meet the designer behind these stunning bridal gowns! Keep reading below for more details!

In the lead up to this event, we are also very excited to share with you some advice from Karen herself, about the beautiful ‘Brooke’ gown.

“The graceful Brooke gown is part of the KAREN WILLIS HOLMES Demi Couture collection. This statement gown has a flattering V-neck bodice which is precisely draped and ruched to create a soft look that beautifully contrasts with the intricate diamanté detail embellished on the waist and shoulders. These embellishments can be removed to create a cleaner look. The skirt also has a detachable train, making it versatile if you want to add extra volume to the gown. It is a striking gown which emphasizes the waistline and has a charming feel to it.”
