ALICIA & VINCENT
Bridal Couture Spotlight: Alicia in Custom Antoinette Fusillo
Sculpted elegance meets bridal mastery in Alicia’s custom Antoinette Fusillo gown—a flawless embodiment of timeless design through the lens of modern sophistication. From the first drape to the final fitting, this was a piece designed not only to be worn, but to be remembered.
Crafted by leading Melbourne bridal designer Antoinette Fusillo, the gown champions the signature hallmarks of couture excellence: architectural precision, sculptural draping, and a silhouette that understands a woman’s form as intimately as it flatters it. Alicia’s bespoke dress featured a structured bodice with impeccable internal corsetry, creating a statuesque line through the waist and bust. The cinched bodice acted as a frame for a detachable draped shawl—draped revealing just enough décolletage to balance restraint with allure.
The skirt—voluminous yet controlled—was a masterclass in fabrication. The fabric caught the light softly, adding dimensionality to every step. Paired with an ethereal cathedral-length veil, the final look delivered both grandeur and grace in equal measure.
We had the immense privilege of witnessing Alicia from the very beginning of her bridal journey—consulting on initial concepts, watching the gown come to life in fittings, and finally dressing her on the morning of her wedding. These moments are what elevate bespoke design beyond fashion into ritual. It’s about understanding who the bride is and crafting something that feels wholly her.
Alicia, a true muse, carried the gown with poise that went beyond physical beauty. She moved with the confidence of someone who felt utterly herself—a vision of bridal refinement that captured not just style, but spirit. There’s a certain alchemy that happens when a woman wears something made entirely for her. It shows. It radiates.
More than a garment, her custom Antoinette Fusillo wedding dress represented a shared creative journey. From the first toile fitting to the final steaming of the train, every thread told a story. These gowns are heirlooms in the making—not because they are ornate, but because they are personal.
Melbourne bridal design is often synonymous with innovation, and Antoinette Fusillo continues to lead the charge with pieces that blur the lines between fashion and art. This gown is no exception. Its nod to old-Hollywood glamour through the off-shoulder silhouette and softly waved hair was balanced by clean, modern minimalism—a look that will remain as relevant in a decade as it is today.

We were honoured to be part of Alicia’s day, to witness her be adored by her loved ones, and to see her step into her moment not just beautifully dressed, but beautifully present. A bride who epitomised understated opulence and bridal individuality in the most effortless way.
Bridal couture is never just about the dress. It’s about the memory sewn into the lining, the emotion stitched through every seam, and the quiet, private magic that happens before the world sees her. Alicia’s moment was all that—and more.
To our stunning bride: thank you for letting us walk this journey with you.
