Nestled in the heart of Burleigh Heads, Queensland, Made with Love Bridal’s Global Headquarters is a luxurious space that perfectly captures the brand's ethos of timeless elegance and modern sophistication. Founded in 2013 by Carla Jenkins, Made with Love Bridal has revolutionised the bridal industry with its daring, effortlessly chic designs that celebrate individuality and confidence. From its humble beginnings on the Gold Coast, the brand has grown into an internationally recognised family-owned business, known for its intricate laces, corset-inspired bodices, and daring necklines.
The newly completed Global Headquarters is a reflection of this legacy, designed by Ashlee Dudley Design and brought to life by GorisCo Projects. It combines ancient architectural forms with contemporary finishes to create a serene, welcoming environment for brides.
A Boutique Designed for Brides
The design of the boutique centres on creating a luxurious yet approachable space for brides. Arched symmetry defines the transitions between areas, establishing clear distinctions between public and private spaces. The open-plan office flows seamlessly into the photoshoot studio, while the entry foyer exudes a sense of tranquility with its soft, layered finishes. The boutique’s custom-designed arched reeded glass doors, lime wash paint, and plaster wall lights enhance the tactile appeal of the space.
Natural light interacts with the Venetian plaster and travertine datum lines in the common areas, creating a serene and understated glow. The Dulux Cocoa Milk ceiling adds richness and depth to the space, while custom lilac upholstery and soft textures create an atmosphere that is both calming and sophisticated. Brides and their creative teams can gather comfortably for fittings, impromptu meetings, or photoshoots, ensuring the space meets both practical and aesthetic needs.
The Powder Room: A Hidden Gem
While the boutique is a masterpiece of calm and understated elegance, the powder room is a bold and dramatic design statement. Featuring Nood Co’s Slip Basin in Nood, this compact yet luxurious space showcases an entirely different aesthetic, filled with opulent detail.
A full slab of decadent Rosso Levanto marble forms the floor, setting the foundation for the room’s striking design. Lilac tumbled marble mosaics adorn the walls, adding a soft, feminine touch, while cascading travertine flutes introduce layers of refined detail. This maximalist space contrasts beautifully with the tranquil palette of the rest of the boutique, offering brides an indulgent moment to feel truly pampered.
Award-Winning Craftsmanship
The collaboration between Ashlee Dudley Design and GorisCo Projects has resulted in a space that is both visually stunning and deeply functional. Their exceptional work on the Global Headquarters was recognised at the Master Builders Queensland Awards, where GorisCo Projects received the Commercial Fitout Award. This accolade highlights the level of skill and attention to detail that went into every corner of the boutique.
A Bridal Experience Like No Other
Made with Love Bridal’s Global Headquarters goes beyond being a showroom; it is a destination for brides. Every aspect of the space, from the calming interiors to the personalised fittings, has been designed to make brides feel confident, beautiful, and celebrated. The boutique stocks the full Made with Love collection, and each piece is handmade with love, tailored to fit each bride’s unique style and body.
From the airy, light-filled showroom to the opulent powder room, the boutique encapsulates the elegance and sophistication that Made with Love Bridal is known for. With its thoughtful design, luxurious finishes, and welcoming atmosphere, the Global Headquarters sets a new standard for bridal boutiques, redefining what it means to offer a truly unforgettable experience.
