Q+A: JUDY COPLEY COUTURE

POINTE SHOOT LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY RUNWAY SHOW SUNSHINE COAST BRIDAL GOWN AUSTRALIAN DESIGNER

"I start on an idea which then leads to another and it brings endless possibilities." Judy - Judy Copley Couture

From the days when Judy was 8 years old and crafting her first dress from crepe paper, we proudly bring you Judy Copley Couture's 2018 in review featuring Ethereal Romance runway show. Growing up in the Northern Territory where her parent's work had relocated their family to from Adelaide, Judy would lose herself in her designs and dream of the more glamorous side of life.

what can JUDY COPLEY COUTURE offer a Bride to-be for their Wedding day? My couture work is art ....each piece I design is created with my Brides' vision in mind throughout the whole journey and the end result is a unique gown, so personal and special ..a custom piece like no other in the world.

did you always know that you wanted to design Bridal couture? I always wanted to create. I studied interior design for a short time as well but found creating gowns to be my true calling. I never tire of creating gowns and never seem to run out of vision or new ideas for the next one.

what keeps you inspired along the way? I’m inspired by travel, places, people, things. In my everyday life, I find endless inspiration. Sometimes I have so many new ideas I can barely wait to start. My Brides inspire me too - I love that they are all so unique and bring their ideas and vision too.

advice: I always like my Brides to shop around before committing to having me create their Wedding gown for them. That way I know they really like my style and that we are a good fit.

do you have a personal favourite style? Not really I like almost every thing but enjoy putting my own spin on it. Fashion over the years has been interesting and reinventing a fashion style from each decade is fun. I’m most drawn to creating glamorous, fitted, less conservative gowns but love also to create more romantic demure gowns on occasions. I’m really enjoying creating red carpet gowns too they allow a lot of freedom of expression for colour and added detail.

what is the best part about what you do: I lose myself in my work and can spend so many hours creating without losing interesting. I start on an idea which then leads to another and it brings endless possibilities. I love what I do and adore my clients.
