Gold Coast Weddings – Summertime

Posted on December 16, 2011 by

Summer is always a great time to have a wedding. Every day brings beautiful sunsets, warm evening breezes and the relaxed atmosphere that every bride wants during her special day.

The Gold Coast has always been a popular destination for weddings, and as some of you might know Luv Bridal has just opened a new store with designer wedding dresses on the Gold Coast! The new store boasts two levels of bridal bliss – gowns for the bride, her maids and of course accessories such as veils and tiaras.

Over the last few months we’ve been really busy fitting brides for their summertime weddings. Chiffon gowns are always a popular style as they look great on all shapes and sizes. They also have a lovely soft silhouette which suits all kinds of weddings, whether it’s at the beach, in a garden or on a golf course (all of which can be found on the Gold Coast).

Earlier in the year, Getaway presenter Natalie Gruzlewski got married in Burleigh Heads. Of all the locations that Natalie has traveled to, she chose to be wed in Burleigh – must be a pretty special place! Here are some pics of her;

Your Summertime Bridal Gown

Here are some of the gowns the girls at Luv Bridal would suggest for a Gold Coast summertime wedding;

M1115L - Available in Diamond White and Ivory/Champagne

M9827L - Available in White and Diamond White (with either Purple or White flowers)

C1118Z - Available in White and Diamond White

C1101Z - Available in White/White and Ivory/Dark Ivory

Bridesmaids Gowns

To compliment your beautiful flowy bridal gown Luv Bridal also has some gorgeous bridesmaid’s dresses. Luv can accommodate almost any colour for your girls.

Popular colours for summer weddings are always very bright – think aqua/turquoise, fuchsia and of course lemon.

MB1110 - Available in all Mia Solano Chiffon colours

MB1110 is a perfect style for a beach wedding. It’s nice soft skirt isn’t too dressy but the bodice makes the girls feel very slim and confident (very important). It’s perfect for the bridesmaid who has a fuller bust as they feel secure with the straps. The colour of this dress is Ocean Blue – a beautiful fresh colour which would compliment either a diamond white or white bridal gown.

Reception Dress

The reception dress is becoming more and more popular. E1102 is an Envi Prom gown which has been used as a reception dress for one of our lovely brides. She wanted something to change into after the formalities were over and was definitely more comfortable in this halter dress.

All gowns can be ordered from either of our stores – please feel free to ring to check for availability or pop in anytime!

Buying Formal Dresses

Formal Wedding Dress


Purchasing a wedding gown is one of the most significant, special and exciting attainments that a future bride makes. It’s also quite costly to buy a wedding gown and for this reason it is vital to make decisions with as much information as possible relating to wedding gowns.

Before buying a wedding gown, there are a few things brides to be should consider;

  • A bride should make the decision about what type of style she is going for on her wedding day and the wedding gown that will set the tone and mood for the entire ceremony.
  • Keep a folder of wedding gown design elements that appeal to you – the neckline, beadwork or veil. Get an idea about current trends, styles, and fabrics that will give you confidence about your gown. Be sure to get a written contract with specific information like wedding gown size, colour, style, and the like.
  • Brides should order their dress about seven months before the wedding to ensure it will be made on time. When you buy the dress you should get the details in writing – total cost, your deposit and alteration fees – if any. Keep in mind that some dresses take more than six months to make, and you’ll need some extra few weeks for alterations or other issues that could come up once the dress reaches your destination.
  • At the time of choosing the right gown, you should be aware of the time of year you are getting married. If it will be in summer, a wedding gown with long sleeves will most likely not be suitable.
  • Brides should also think about comfort. You will be wearing this dress for hours – so if it pinches or irritates, that will get worse throughout the day.
  • Consider the costs about tax, shipping and alteration expenses when calculating the price of wedding dress.
  • The prospective bride may talk with the bridal consultant, as they can suggest a gown that suits your figure and colours that accolade your skin tone.

If the bride to be follows these tips when buying their wedding gown, they will be sure to purchase a gown that will be perfect for their wedding day.
