La Raine
Be The Queen you are born to be.
With intricate hand pleating and draping details, the regal silhouettes hug the figure while perfectly supporting and accentuating curves. Strapless gowns highlight a bride’s beauty while off-the-shoulder sleeves are a nod to the classic and timeless styles of past eras, adding a touch of romanticism and femininity. All selected for their ability to drape and flow, creating a sense of effortless elegance and fluidity.
Modern Debutante
An homage to our past brides - because every woman we’ve worked with, we’ve learnt from and no two brides are ever the same - each is brilliantly, perfectly, unique.
No two brides are ever the same - each is brilliantly, perfectly, unique. That’s why with the Modern Debutante collection you can truly create a gown to reflect your personality, from slinky to classic, soft to structured, layered to minimal. The gowns are inspired by the passing seasons, each with their own idiosyncrasies, strengths, and fragility. Wild or calm, ethereal or minimal, a Hera gown is true to nature, fluid in her adaptability and confidence, and ready to take on the world.

"Thank you so much for the beautiful Venezia dress!!! I searched for months and months for the perfect dress and found the whole experience rather daunting! I can not thank you enough for your patience with me whilst deciding on my dress which was originally the Bosset gown. The first time I tried the Venezia gown on, I knew it was the dress for me. I loved it so much and wish I could wear it again. It was incredibly comfortable and easy to move in. I felt amazing in the dress and received so many compliments on the dress. Thanks again to you all at Hera, such a lovely bunch of people!

“I bought my dress through your stockist Savvy Brides in Australia. Katie from Hera had been so nice and sent over the Audrey and another style for me to try on. I immediately fell in love with the Audrey and its amazing lace detail. All my family is from NZ so I was so happy to be wearing a New Zealand designer on my wedding day”
