Bo and Luca - "It's like a piece of art." The Artistry of Hand-Beaded Wedding Dresses

Welcome to Episode 35 of the Wed.Co Podcast. Today, we're excited to have Shannon, the owner and head designer of Bo and Luca on the podcast with us, filmed at the stunning The Lex at the W Hotel in Brisbane.

Shannon from Bo and Luca shares her journey of starting a bridal fashion brand and the challenges she faced along the way. She talks about her fascination with couture fashion and her experiences in Dubai and India that inspired her to create unique and intricate wedding dresses.

Shannon discusses the process of creating hand-beaded dresses in India and the importance of personalization for each bride. She also shares the story of how she had to navigate through the challenges of COVID-19 and a war in Ukraine to ensure that her brides received their dresses. Bo and Luca is a bridal brand that creates custom handmade dresses and accessories.

The dresses are like pieces of art and are often kept as heirloom pieces. The brand has a niche market and appeals to brides who value quality and craftsmanship. The custom design process takes about 12 months, and the brand works with partners in India to create the dresses.

Bo and Luca also offers a more affordable luxury line called Temple. The brand draws inspiration from travel, architecture, and handmade details. They have a strong presence on Instagram and rely on word-of-mouth referrals.
