Our Story

Cut from the same cloth

The craft of sewing is threaded through Jules’ DNA. First introduced to sewing at the tender age of four by her mother, a keen sewer, Jules never looked back, spending her childhood busy creating clothes for her dolls and outfits for the family dog. This devotion to creativity is still seen in the perfect detailing of every gown Jules creates.

Fabric of her own making

Jules Bly arrived in the fashion industry following her completion of the London-based Druleigh diploma at the New Zealand College of Fashion Design. After four years working in the challenging world of high fashion, Jules found a position with one of the southern hemisphere’s premier bridal couturiers. This experience kindled her passion for bridal gowns and inspired her to launch her own bridal business in 1989.

Jules savours her time in her dedicated workroom, with a skilled team around her, crafting a gown that will make each bride look amazing and feel fantastic, to create precious memories.

Getting back to nature

Jules Bly believes that the wearability and comfort of your Wedding Gown goes hand in hand with luxury and design. Gowns are made from exquisite silk fibre, delicately woven and natural – for centuries only the choice of Kings and Queens. The graceful softness of a silk gown will awaken your senses with its delicate fit and comfort.

“The choice of Kings and Queens for centuries, nothing replaces the delicate weave of natural silk for fluidity and movement.”

– Jules Bly

Designed and crafted with the heart

The extravagance of a Jules Bly Wedding Gown lies in the individual cut and hand crafting to perfection. The velvety touch of natural silk fibre – charmeuse, faille, organza, chiffon and georgette – creates a feeling of heaven on earth next to your skin.

Luxuriate with a tantalising fusion of traditionally woven French Guipure lace adorned with Japanese pearls, sparkling Austrian crystals or platinum flocked beads. Romantic frills, ruffles or a dramatic waterfall train breathe a sigh of romance into your very own exclusive Wedding Gown.

“Exceptional design is about proportion and balance.”

– Jules Bly
