Elizabeth Soljak, A La Robe designer, has created something special and unique in each of her dresses. It is not just the delicate silks and laces, the choices of colour, unusual cuts and draping. It is the layering that make these dresses perfect. There is an excitement seeing an A La Robe dress on the body.

The shoot stylist, Greer Boyce, ensured that each gown was handled and styled lovingly, so that the magic of each gown would be captured in all their glory.

The wintery gardens & dining hall allowed the Franklin Flowers bouquets, crowns & corsage’s to really shine – utilizing a mix of romantic red roses, golden pinecones and succulents were a welcome alternative to the usual bright & cheerful bouquets more commonly seen. These romantic yet dark bouquets were the perfect fit for an enchanted shoot.

Allely Estate provided the enchanted grounds.  Once you arrive, you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped back in time with the spectacular gardens  and turn of the century villa. Fitted with a chandelier dining room, intimate bar with log fire and views of the surrounding vineyards & beyond – create a rare ambience.

Ali and her team opted for looks that were exquisite but yet very simple. Dusty rose blushers and orangey pink lipstick with dewy fresh skin. Each look showcasing natural and effortless makeup that is hot for the upcoming wedding season.
