Next up on our blog we have the beautiful Stacie and her now husband Stephen. Their fabulous celebration at Harvey's Point provided the perfect backdrop — with its breathtaking lakeside setting and warm, romantic atmosphere. It was the ideal place to bring together family and friends for a day that felt both elegant and deeply personal.
When a bride walks through our doors at Pearls & Lace, there’s always a sense of excitement — but every so often, a moment happens that feels truly unforgettable. While searching for her perfect fitted wedding dress, she knew she wanted something modern with sparkle, elegant sleeves, and a silhouette that would feel both glamorous and timeless. With her mum and bridesmaids by her side, she arrived for her very first — and, as it turned out, only — bridal appointment, ready to explore and enjoy the experience.
Then she stepped into Desiree by Eva Lendel… and the entire atmosphere in the room shifted. There’s a quiet kind of magic when a bride finds the one, and from that moment on, every dress was compared back to Desiree. The way it hugged her figure, the shimmer of the embellishment, and the statement details created a feeling that was impossible to ignore — she looked radiant, confident, and completely herself.
Let's hear all about it...
Stacie, firstly tell us about your dress?
How did you style your dress?
Tell us about your bridal party?
The groom, groomsmen & page boy wore black tuxedo's & the groom wore a black velvet jacket with his tux. My bridesmaids wore a black satin dress with a bow & drape detail on one shoulder. We styled their dresses with black & gold accessories. Our flower girl wore an ivory puff sleeve dress with a bow on the back so all of the bow detail tied in perfectly with my own dress.
What would your advice be for other brides to be?
Being organised pays off. I had a pretty relaxed week on the run up to the wedding which was lovely. Another piece of advice is not to stress the small things & leave your suppliers to it because they know what they are doing & will do an amazing job!
What was your most memorable moment of your special day?
There are lots to choose from but we loved the time away when it was just the two of us getting our photos done & also walking into our wedding reception seeing all of our favourite people having a good time & cheering us on .
Looking back, choosing Desiree was more than finding a dress — it was discovering a look that made her feel confident, radiant, and completely herself. The unexpected details, from the dramatic overskirt to the bow that inspired the wider wedding styling, came together to create a bridal moment that felt both personal and unforgettable.
We feel so honoured to have been part of her journey — from that first appointment to finding the gown that stole her heart. Moments like these are why we do what we do, and we wish her a lifetime filled with the same joy and sparkle she brought to her bridal experience.
