WHEN AND HOW DID YOU GET YOUR
START AS a designer?
Made With Love started from humble beginnings on the Gold Coast in 2013 after I discovered the underwhelming selection of bridal available while on my own journey to find the perfect wedding dress.
DESCRIBE THE MADE WITH LOVE BRIDE.
You can spot a MWL girl a mile away, she’s the first one to eat the cake, and the last one off the dancefloor. She is a sucker for romance, the kind full of belly aching laughs and undeniable chemistry, the kind you can only find in a best friend. She loves giggling with girlfriends over cocktails, spending summer days at the beach and kicking up her heels with loved ones, all in equal measures, of course. She is unabashedly herself and dreams of finding a dress that matches up to her effortlessly chic, beautiful, confident self.
WHERE DO YOU FIND DESIGN INSPIRATION?
I’m always keeping my eye on current trends in fashion and pop-culture and thinking of ways we can incorporate them into our signature MWL style. Our real MWL brides and the amazing women in my life are forever my biggest muse and I draw so much inspiration from their comments, requests, and wedding styles!

WhAT's your best shopping advice for Our Lovelies?
I really believe the most important thing on your wedding day is to feel like your most confident and comfortable self. There is often a lot of pressure surrounding weddings and that just completely ruins the fun! The most important thing is you and your partner celebrating your love with the people most precious to you. I think it is important to keep reminding yourself that the people you love most aren’t there to judge the details, they are there to celebrate and adore you!
