Revelle Babes, meet our Designer Spotlight of the Month: Hera Couture.

If there’s one good thing that came out of the pandemic, it’s that we took some time to really figure out who Revelle’s ideal bride is. Figuring this out allowed us to identify exactly what we needed to bring to the boutique in terms of style, price point and of course, designer. As a small boutique, our focus is on creating a carefully curated collection (say that 10 times fast) that features beautiful, stylish, high quality, ethically made wedding gowns that are exclusive to Revelle in the Ottawa-Gatineau area. We spent a lot of time during the many lockdowns looking for new, up-and-coming designers that we felt were the most “Revelle”.

Last year around this time, we participated virtually in the Melange De Blanc Bridal Market with the goal of bringing on new designers that fit in with the Revelle vibe and aesthetic. We fell in love with Hera Couture, a bridal brand from New Zealand that had the most luxurious couture gowns at a reasonable price. At the time, we felt we were missing some of the classics: a mikado structured ball gown, a crushed satin slip dress, pouffy statement sleeves, thigh high slits and corseted bodices. With Hera Couture, we found what we were looking for and we’re thrilled that we added them to our collection.

Not only do they produce high quality, stunning wedding gowns but the Hera team is also so lovely to deal with. In today’s world, customer / supplier relationships mean everything. It’s so important to us that we have excellent relationships with our designers and their team. Katie Yeung, the talented designer behind Hera, grew up surrounded by fabrics and sewing machines and developed a love for design and fashion. Her timeless and elegant gowns are made with only the most luxurious fabrics and are created with real women in mind, real women who value quality and design.

Having only recently added the Hera collection to our designer roster, we are thrilled with the wonderful response from our brides already. If you love the look of Hera Couture, book your bridal consultation during The Hera Couture trunk show from May 13 to 22.
