J'aton Couture

Hi sweethearts!

I thought that it would only be right for me to begin my first post, on an Australian designer, and one whose work is undoubtedly breathtaking; J’aton.
Increasingly popular within the celebrity scene especially with WAG’s, J’aton Couture, is a Melbourne based design house created by Jacob Luppino and Anthony Pittorino. Their attention to detail is absolutely breathtaking, with traditional Italian approaches and techniques being implemented, offering brides a unique gown that leaves responders in awe.
J’aton is not only restricted to Australia. It has embarked upon international borders, adorning the likes of Charlize Theron, Dita Von Tesse, and Kyle and Dannii Minogue, and Holly Valance to name a few.

Recently within Australia, J’aton has captured the hearts of wedding and fashion lovers, with the wedding gown of Australian actress/celebrity Jodi Gordon, who married rugby league player Braith Anasta . Rumoured at a lavish $50 000, Gordon’s dress took 5 people, 6 months, and 300 hours to create. It was made from 80 year old vintage lace all the way from Paris, with silk muslin and organdie with an Italian vulle, and draped with rare Swarovski beads. Don’t let that price tag shy away from the designers. Many brides have had J’aton design their dream dresses according to their budgets.
I have attached some photos of Jodi Gordon’s dress, as well as some of their other designs, worn by WAG’s Rebecca Judd and Terry Biviano. I have also attached all of J’atons contact details.

What do you think of bride Rozalia Russian, that graced a short J’aton gown for her wedding reception?! So pretty!

Have you or do you know anyone who has been lucky enough to work with J’aton? Let us know!
I look forward to reading your comments!

PS I will not only post about Australian designers. I will also be highlighting designers from all over the world

Hi everyone, and welcome to Sydney Wedding Blogger!!!

Hi everyone!
First and foremost, I'd like to say thankyou for taking the time out to read this. I've wanted to start a blog like this for years. It wasn't until as of late, that I had someone very dear to me, push me enough to finally start.
Weddings are my passion. I have a ridiculous obsession with them, and everyone around me knows just how much of a big part they play within my life.

It started about 10 years ago. Fashion tv was on, and I remember the Lebanese designer, Abed Mahfouz, having his collection grace the catwalk. I was in awe.
I began to research his collection online, and began to come across fellow Arab designers such as Elie Saab and Zuhair Murad. I remember right clicking and saving every photo that took my breath away. Soon enough I was researching all things dresses. My online folder was filling up quicker and quicker and I would dream of the day that I would eventually be able to wear one of those gowns.

I then began to research engagement rings discovering Tacori, Harry Winston, and Tiffany, to name a few, and then before I knew it, that folder was filled with boquet designs, bridal hairstyles, bridesmaid and groomsmen outfits, reception settings, music, invitations, photo inspirations, wedding food,
Wedding shoes; wedding EVERYTHING. My obsession had become ridiculous.

10 years on, you can probably imagine the collection I now have online of everything and anything to do with weddings.
I even collected bridal magazines that weighed 5 kilos on their own as I traveled through the Middle East.
The designs that come out of that place have a special place in my heart, because that's where it all started. The designers that captured my heart, all originated from there so understandably, I have a special place in my heart for designs from there. Just imagine how I felt when I drove past Zuhair Murads office in Beirut, Lebanon. Pure bliss.

As I've researched diverse designers, wedding planners and receptions from all over the world, I noticed that Australia, my homeland, doesn't have much to offer on the scale that the rest of the world offers. This for me, is frustrating as I have so many ideas for when it is my special day. With that in mind, I want to make a difference to the bridal industry here.
I have realized that my dream, my passion, is weddings. And therefore, I want to be a wedding planner. And I want to open up my own wedding reception. I want to give the brides of Australia, perfection. I have ideas, visions, and inspirations that this country has never seen. And I want to be able to show them and bring them that.

I am currently studying a Bachelor of Arts at University, which I am just about to complete. Once that is done, I will be mastering in event management so I can look at this industry from a business and professional perspective and promise my future clients nothing less than everything they have ever dreamed.

In the meantime however, I want to use this blog to share my inspirations, thoughts and ideas and receive your feedback. Wedding dresses, bridal party ideas, invitations, photo inspirations, designers, food etc is what I wish to show you.

I come from a background of big families and extended friends. I attend and am part of a lot of weddings. The year of 2012 saw me attend 10 weddings, 2 of which I was bridesmaid, and countless engagement parties. 2013, a month in, and I've been a bridesmaid and attended 3 weddings. I get to experience the work of many designers, make up artists and hair stylists that are the best of the best within Australia. So I would love to use this blog also as a way to share with you my experience with them.

I hope you are patient with me and enjoy everything I post. I'd love to hear your thoughts, your suggestions and even your own dreams of your wedding day. I hope to inspire you, just as how I have been inspired by the beauty that the bridal industry has to offer.

I cannot wait, for the day,
That I eventually am able to start my own business, plan your wedding and have you slow dance in my reception. I can't wait to bring a whole new, fresh perspective to the wedding industry within Australia. Who knows, maybe even the world.

Thank you, and watch this space ❤
