OVERVIEW
As a true Creative, I love designing to accentuate your best features, whilst capturing your personal vibe and inner essence. I welcome you to share in the joy and excitement of bringing your wedding dress visions and dreams to life. From Timeless to Boho Chic, to Romantic, to Modern, to Sophisticated, or a touch of Colour, I've have got you covered!
Many brides say to me, “I’ve tried on a several gowns but none of them tick all of the boxes. I love the shape but not the sleeve or neckline or back! Something just doesn’t feel right!” Because of this I developed an effective Perfect Planning System (PPS) where we consider each element, such as necklines, silhouettes, waistlines, fabrics, etc, that are just right for your body shape & colouring, making your gown as unique as you are. I design to enhance your figure in the best way, creating a gown that reflects your essence and personality.
If you’re not close by or can’t come in to the studio, due to your workload or location, don’t worry, you can still be a JRW Bride and have the gown of your dreams! We offer a 5* online ZOOM “Creative Session,” where we chat through our PPS and then guide you and your partner/friend to capture your exact measurements, ensuring the perfect fit of your wedding gown. A Brisbane bride, recently said after their video measuring session, “Jo, we had the best time doing the video call! It was really fun, and my fiance was thrilled to have been involved in the early stage of tailoring a gown specifically for me! We are both so excited to see the final creation!” - Louise.
After the design stage,when you are wondering how the design will actually look on you, no need to worry! I am one of the only designers I know of, that offers my tailored “Paper Doll System” (PDS) of super-imposing your illustration on to an image of yourself. This is really exciting as it eases your mind and gives you a great virtual experience of what your gown will look like on you!
We pride ourselves in the highest level of workmanship and quality, offering each design in either our Pearl Custom Label ($4600 - 6000) or Diamond Custom Label ($6000 - 10,000), to best suit your investment level.
"The process has been super easy & fun! We talked about the look I wanted, she listened well and together we created a design that matched exactly what I had envisioned in my head... Jo has absolutely nailed the look I was going for!" - Kerry T.
If you prefer the Ready To Wear (RTW) gowns ($2850-$4700) then have a look below at our stunning range of sustainable 'Made to Measure' Collections. (These can also be customised for a small fee.)
"I believe that we are all beautifully unique and so should our wedding dresses be. So be brave and be YOU and let's make some magic together!" - Joanne Ross Wells

Ideally, I like to have about 12 to 18 months, so that there is no rush in the design or production stages. I do however make exceptions in special circumstances which will incur a rush fee if under 8 months.
With over 10 years of experience in the bridal industry, one of my strengths is being able to design according to each different body shape. Once we had agreed on the best silhouette for you, we move on to fabrics and tones to best suit your colouring and vibe. So don't be worried about starting off with a blank canvas, as that is where I can help you! I also offer my "Paper Doll Design System" where I design your illustration on to a photo of you, so that you can see the style on your figure and proportions, to make any changes.
No, our gowns are fully fitted out with built-in cups and boning, except for our sheer lace bodices, where the lace is strategically placed to hide what needs to be hidden!
Ideally, a 50-60cm train is about as long as you should go in order to bustle up for the party later. The other option that we offer, is to have a removable train or skirt to allow for an easy transformation when the dancing kicks in!
Yes, we also carry a small collection of Ready To Wear Dresses and a Mix 'n Match Separates Collection if you would prefer that to the Custom Design option.
I offer my brides 2 Custom Labels to best suit their investment level:
1. Our "Pearl Label", where you choose your laces and fabrics range from $4600 to $6000.
2. Our "Diamond Label", giving you pure silk fabric options as well as personalising your embroidered lace with initials, or even designing your own beadwork and lace designs. Price is from $6000.

Get Expert AdviceWhat length dress for a 4pm wedding for mother of the groom?
My son is getting married at 4pm, wondering what is an appropriate length dress to wear for this time of day?
JRW Bridal & Couture
Hi, I would suggest if the bridesmaids are in long dresses that you do the same. If they're not then you could go for a tea length or long style. The most important aspect is dressing to your body shape and colouring (and compliment the bridal colours), this way you will not only look your best but feel great too! I hope this is helpful?

How many wedding dress appointments will I need?
Hi there. Wondering how many wedding dress appointments I should be factoring into my planning, including fittings and pickup? And how long they normally go for? Thanks.
JRW Bridal & Couture
If you're going with the Ready to Wear option it's usually 2-3 and about 4-5 for Custom creations. Once you have booked your venue I'd recommend that you start your wedding dress journey. Happy to answer any other questions you may have.
Kind regards
Joanne
Tips for not dying of heat in 30 degree weather in a wedding dress?
We are having a destination wedding, likely Thailand or somewhere hot. How to keep cool, minimise sweat stains, any tips or what to pack appreciated!

Hi
If you haven't chosen your dress I highly recommend a natural fabric such as silk or cotton for your dress as they are breathable and will make all the difference in the heat of the day.
Exerpt from my latest blog on Natural Fabrics "Silk comes in many different forms, such as silk satin, silk tulle, silk lace, silk crepe, silk organza, silk georgette, silk chiffon and silk taffeta, to name a few."
Silk's 5 main benefits are:
More to read in my blog on the benefits of Cotton.
Hope this helps,
