"I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with the team at Hera. Throughout the process, I had the pleasure of meeting several staff members, and each one was wonderfully kind, accommodating, and genuinely invested in my vision. They created a calming atmosphere, making me feel completely at ease. My mother and I couldn’t find a single fault during the entire experience. The stylists were exceptionally thorough, guiding me through the customisation of my dress by using different garments and fabrics to help me visualize the changes. The final result was simply a dream—it was everything I had hoped for and more. The talent of the team at Hera is truly exceptional."

Adam & I were introduced by a mutual friend. We then begun our relationship when our friend groups all happened to be in Queenstown over Winter together.

My journey to finding the perfect Florence gown happened quite unexpectedly. While trying on dresses at a stockist in Sydney, I came across it on a rack—something I hadn’t even noticed on the website. The moment I slipped it on, I fell in love. As someone who’s very fashion-conscious, I immediately knew I wanted to make a few alterations to truly make it my own. Interestingly, I never imagined that I would be drawn to a simpler style, but it felt so elegant and timeless. I adored the idea of enhancing it with accessories like a scarf and a custom veil.

For future brides, my advice is to set aside your preconceived notions and try on a wide variety of styles; you might be surprised by what captures your heart! And don’t underestimate the power of accessories—they truly transformed my dress!

The ceremony (our vows in particular) & having our dog Zara as our ring-bearer. It was so special & she was so well behaved!
