The Process

INITIAL CONSULTATION

You will have a personal hour-long consultation with Juliette initially to discover more about your special day and talk through style, fabric and colour choices. A $250 fee applies to this consultation, which is redeemable against your dress should you decide to proceed. From this consultation Juliette will create a hand drawn sketch of your dress to be signed off by you and from which the toile will be made. At this point you should feel confident to decide if Juliette Hogan Bridal is the perfect choice for your wedding dress.

FIRST FITTING

We will have made a toile (calico) version of your dress in your standard size and we will fit the dress to you. Allow 45 minutes.

SECOND FITTING

At this point, we will have made your beautiful dress in your chosen fabric. The dress will be unhemmed, and shoes will need to be brought along at this point. Allow 30 minutes..

FINAL FITTING

All alterations and hemming will have been completed. You will have a final try on with shoes to ensure everything is perfect. Allow 30 minutes.

ADDITIONAL FITTINGS

Extra fittings outside the above will incur an additional charge.

When I first saw the Together Journal piece announcing Juliette was going to work with a handful of brides for 2024 I immediately applied for the once in a lifetime opportunity. There is something so special about having a piece made specially for you, let alone a wedding dress, let alone by Juliette Hogan.

From the first video call, to the first in-person appointment, to the final appointment before my wedding day, the care and time Juliette, Alice, and the team put into making the dress of my dreams was truly unreal. They took my rambled ideas over that initial Zoom and turned them into a dress those closest to me said was “so perfectly Imogen” - which is exactly what I was after. It was so important to me that my wedding dress was an extension of my personal style, and something I could wear for the entire evening, and what Juliette created was the dress of my dreams.

If I had to choose my single most favourite thing about it, I couldn’t, but I have managed to get it down to three elements - the sleeves, the neckline, and the pockets!!

- IMOGEN

It was so special to work with Juliette and Alice to create my dream dress! They struck such an amazing balance between guiding me with their expertise and honouring my personal style and ideas.

I wasn't sure what to expect from a process like this - but it felt so stress-free, every detail was thoughtfully considered and executed with such care.

II couldn't have been happier with the final result - A dress that was simple, elevated, timeless and true to me. I have never worn a dress that fit me so perfectly!

- CASEY

I feel absolutely honoured to have been a Juliette Hogan Bride, before I was even engaged I always knew that I would walk down the aisle in a JH creation.

Being able to work with Juliette and Alice on my dress, was a journey I will never forget.

They both have such an incredible eye for designing and finishing silhouettes to a high standard, and I always knew I would be in wonderful hands. They were able to source a fabric especially for me, and it was EXACTLY what I hoped for.

The process was seamless and relaxed, and I ended up with my absolute dream dress that fitted me like a glove. I wish I could wear it again!!

I was also lucky enough to have Juliette and Alice dress all my Bridesmaids in custom JH dresses and also my Mum and Grandmother too. Everyone commented how beautiful they felt in their JH pieces, and how every JH dress complemented the overall look of the wedding.
