Bungendore seems like a beautiful location, does your environment inform a lot of your creation?
I live in a beautiful country setting, on five acres with cottage rose gardens and work in a stunning separate studio; the ambience set by a  massive chandelier displaying my gowns. Antique drawers are overflowing with exquisite beaded laces and crystals for the bride to make to make her selection.

Do you have a current collection?
I don’t have a current collection as I create individual gowns for each bride. Whatever style the bride wants – it’s her day and I am creating her dream.

Do you have a favourite gown?
No, I love them all, especially the corsetry.

Do you have any key advice for brides (and grooms) who are planning their wedding?
Plan your gown early, couture gowns are not mass-produced in two days, they are created for each bride. For the groom, I will make a gown for your bride that is jaw dropping.

What are some of your trend-tips for brides in 2013?
Fuller skirts, feather and matching combs.
