Vellos Bridal

Attention-grabbing, luxurious and one of a kind are just some ways to describe Vellos Bridal’s bespoke collection of wedding gowns. Designer and owner, Maria Apostolou, started Vellos Bridal as a small home business in 2002. “I love everything about design,” Maria says. “I love discovering how different fabrics drape and I love creating something from a simple idea.”
While the bridal industry is very competitive and most modern designers seek to create cutting-edge and trendy wedding dresses, Maria wanted to move in a different direction. “I have created a brand that draws inspiration from vintage fashion and therefore the styles are timeless and unique.”
The Yowie Bay-based boutique offers a range of other bridal pieces and garments, allowing the bride to entrust in Vellos Bridal to dress the entire wedding party. Maria handcrafts bridesmaids, flower girl and mother-of-the-bride or -groom dresses, including accessories for couples. “Of course no look is complete without accessories,” Maria says. “I create everything from jewellery and veils to hair accessories and ring cushions. I also stock men’s accessories including vests, ties, bow ties and more. This is great as it means that we can match the fabrics with the wedding gown making it less stressful for the bride.”
Vellos Bridal’s latest collection, She Dances amongst the Trees (photography by Sevenish Photography, hair by Hair Appeal and Beauty Connection, and makeup by Vanessa Louise MUA), is inspired by the female form and is available to try on in store. All of Maria’s gowns are made to the bride’s individual measurements over a series of fittings and are only available from the studio. “The most common feedback I hear is about my personal boutique service,” Maria says. “I have samples for brides to try on but I am also happy to alter the design or even create a whole new design made exclusively for the bride.”
