BACKSTAGE PASS

DESIGN
I find inspiration in many places from my travels around the world, to a piece of music that moves me. But the essence of every We Are Mancini piece is to celebrate women as we are, curves and all, and to create a moment in time where the WAM bride feels effortless, timeless and elegant. From low backs, to halter necklines, features ties and pearl accents, each style is designed with the intention of creating a unique and one of a kind piece.

FABRIC
Natural fibres such as silk, viscose and cupro feature heavily in the WAM gowns and bridal mini's. These are biodegradable and have a lesser impact on the earth than man made fibres. The simplicity of design is inspired by the natural drape of these fabrics and their unique textures. We Are Mancini utilises fabrications that have a luxurious look and feel, in the most sustainable way.

PHOTOSHOOT
Starting with a mood board, I put together visual inspiration to help communicate my story. From lighting examples for the photographer, poses for the model and hair and make-up styles for the HMU artist. Always staying true to the We Are Mancini aesthetic staying true to timeless simplicity. I have a content creator on the day to capture video of the fabrics in movement and get all the behind the scenes fun.
VIRTUAL CONSULTATION
I know it can be uncertain buying your wedding gown online, which is why you can book in for a virtual consultation just like Shiloh pictured here. Living in Denver Colorado, she wanted to chat through the different fabrications of the gowns and talk through sizing and fit. Shiloh was able to share her measurements with me and discuss how she wanted to feel in her gown on the day. Over a google chat I was able to show her how the fabrics moved and could try on some of the styles for her so she could get as up close to the gowns as possible. We chatted about the option to return the dress after she received it if she had a change of mind and that really put her at ease.
