Janke
Janke came all the way from Gqerberha to order her wedding dress from us! She choose a Daisy from our Wishbone & Ivory collection made new according to her measurements.
Lara
Our gorgeous Real Bride Lara looked like she should feature on the cover of Vogue magazine in her Noble Bride wedding dress by Rebel Bride. They got married at the beautiful Lace on Timber just outside Pretoria.
Maggie
Maggie was such an amazing bride to work with and we absolutely loved their wedding concept of eloping with their closest family and then having a big party with all of their friends the following day.
Clarise
Clarise did not have enough time to order a wedding dress as their wedding was just around the corner, so she chose one of our gorgeous off the rack samples for her wedding day look. This beautiful off shoulder pleated mermaid wedding dress stole the show during her wedding dress fitting at our boutique and we all knew, she found the One!
Annene
There is just something about a winter wedding that we absolutely love! Our beautiful Wishbone & Ivory Annene chose our Brooklyn wedding dress in a soft stretch satin with added button details for her wedding day look.
Kaira
We love working with brides that wants to customize our wedding dresses to suit their individual style and Kaira was one of them. She chose our elegant Caroline wedding dress by Wishbone & Ivory, but wanted it with a black waistband instead of the standard off white.
Isselize
Isselize looked like a Hollywood A lister on her wedding day in a custom Wishbone & Ivory creation. We created a fully beaded fitted wedding dress for her with thin straps and sweetheart neckline which she wore with our Ally detachable satin skirt for two glamourous bridal looks.
Minette
Minette looked like a dream on her wedding day in her Modest Bride glitter wedding dress by Rebel Bride with our detachable Diana satin skirt.
Ché-Moniq
We met Ché-Moniq when she was a model for a styled shoot for our wedding dresses. After the shoot she booked a fitting with us as she just knew she would find her dream wedding dress at The Wedding Collective.
Zandile
We had the honour of creating a custom design wedding dress for our beautiful Real Bride Zandile. She wanted a scoop neckline beaded wedding dress with a soft tulle overskirt.
Monique
Monique was the epitome of bridal elegance on her wedding day in her Solemn wedding dress by Rebel Bride.
Mia
Mari at The Wedding Collective made ALL of my wedding dress dreams come true. She is knowledgeable and trustworthy, and she really understood what I wanted before I even knew myself! I was dreading shopping for a wedding dress because I imagined it would be a stressful situation, but at The Wedding Collective I was proved wrong. Thank you Mari and Ora, you guys are wedding dress superstars! I would (and have!) HIGHLY recommend The Wedding Collective for prospective Pretoria brides
Suané
Our gorgeous Real Bride Suané looked incredible on her wedding day in her Eva wedding dress by Zanne Couture.
Carissa
Carissa came all the way from Rustenburg to order her custom Brighton wedding dress from our exclusive bridal brand Wishbone & Ivory. She wanted the Brighton style with a full skirt with pockets instead of the fitted skirt of the sample. We love customizing our Wishbone & Ivory wedding dresses according to our Brides’ requirements and we were very excited to make her vision come to life.
Lariska
The moment I walked out of that dressing room I got a "wow" from everyone in the room. I could not stop thinking about that dress since then. The moment I put the beautiful Caroline on that Mari recommended I knew I was in love. I felt so beautiful. Oh, my dress had pockets, such a win!
Maxine
Our beautiful modern beach bride Maxine got married at the end of 2021 in the stunning Cape St Francis. We got heart palpitations from her stunning wedding photos by Sharyn Hodges and just had to catch up with her to find out more about her wedding planning journey.
Victoria
FOLLOW The Wedding Collective on Instagram – the advice I got from all of Mari’s stories was honestly the best! Literally the reason I had a first look! Let the pros do their job, you’ve probably never planned a wedding, they do it for a living – so do your research and find a good vendor and then leave it up to them.
Adel
Adel got married on their family farm outside Clarens and looked absolutely amazing in a fitted Wishbone & Ivory wedding dress with detachable satin skirt. Having 2 looks on your wedding day has never been easier, be sure to book your fitting with us then we can show you how!
Sané
Beautiful Sané got married on the coldest day in the history of Augusts but still looked absolutely radiant in her custom designed Wishbone & Ivory capped sleeved wedding dress.
Mari
We are so excited to share with you the wedding journey of our very own Real Bride Mari, the owner of The Wedding Collective and designer of our exclusive Wishbone & Ivory wedding dress brand.
