BLOOM AUSTRALIA … •☾• … SLOW FASHION FOR RULE BREAKERS
One year ago, Bloom Australia opened its doors in Brisbane’s Newstead, bringing a new form of bridal fashion into the city. Bloom’s owner, Sam, moved to Brisbane from New York and is offering exclusive dresses, separates and accessories to Brisbane brides - a lot of them from designers that Brisbane-based shoppers previously had to chase via Sydney, Canberra {all my brides know Mrs Fray} or internationally. All gowns that you find at Bloom are hand-made in ateliers, by designers who celebrate #slowfashion and care about the environment in their procedures.
At Bloom, Sam’s motto is that bridal rules are meant to be broken.
To welcome Bloom in Brisbane, Lovelenscapes did a little shoot earlier this year featuring gowns by Bo & Luca, Bowie Rae and Mariana Hardwick, Accessories by Jennifer Behr, Hair & Makeup by Leigh McCoy, and the wonderful Isabelle Marcovich as our bride.
Sleek, modern, romantic, bohemian, edgy - we managed to capture quite the range in this Editorial session and we hope you will enjoy browsing through some highlights and looks.
Thank you for inviting us into your beautiful space, Sam, and for letting us share the beginnings of such a wonderful journey. Brisbane needed Bloom and I think I speak on behalf of many brides when I thank you for having the courage to bring something so unique and beautiful into the city.

DESIGN & IMAGE SELECTION
Our design process is uncomplicated, fun and fast. Once we receive your album order, our design team will contact you to provide guidance through a few simple steps to assist with the selection of images and the choice of your bespoke cover design. Every page of your album will be designed with your story in mind, which will unfold throughout the pages. We will send you a draft of your bespoke cover design and proofs of your album pages for your review before going to print. It doesn’t have to be wedding photos, either - we have created Family Albums, Newborn Albums, Business Anniversary Celebration Albums and so much more in the past.
YOUR FULLY CUSTOMISED EDITION-OF-ONE BOOK
We also welcome text snippets of personal vows, readings, song lyrics, poems and more ~ anything to make your album as meaningful as it gets. We professionally format and typeset all texts and also keep an eye on typos and grammar for flawless results.
PRODUCTION TIME & SHIPPING
Once the final draft is approved by you, it will take 8-12 weeks until your album arrives in the mail. For clients who wish to receive their albums in time for Christmas, the order deadline via our online shop is 1st September each year, due to higher demand and longer production and postage times during that busy time of year.
Worldwide shipping will always be covered by us as our gift to you and as a small gesture to make it a no-brainer to get your memories printed. For the same reason, we also offer Payment Plans for 10x monthly payments. To opt for Payment Plan payments, select the Payment Plan option in the drop-down menu below, together with your preferred album size.
