Our gorgeous bride, Angel, wears a bespoke lehenga with a traditional Māori korowai symbolising protection, prestige, connection, and whakapapa passed across generations.
Bridal wear is the perfect opportunity for garments to create a powerful dialogue or story of cultures, histories, and families.
Angel’s bespoke lehenga features thread, sequin and bead detailing while her traditional korowai is made from finely prepared fibres from the native New Zealand harakeke (flax) plant. The fibres are decorated using feathers from native birds such as kiwi, kererū, kākā or albatross.
Her final look depicts two worlds learning to exist side by side now now moving forward together. The final look is a reflection of heritage carried forward into a shared future.
