OVERVIEW

The Laid Back Bride is a modern, relaxed bridal boutique with a fresh collection of wedding dresses designed by a former stylist. Effortless and chic, these unique wedding dresses are feminine and minimalistic and lean into bohemian-chic and romantic-rustic themes. These high-quality, handcrafted dresses look breathtaking on all body types and are bound to make you feel confident and beautiful.

The Laid Back Bride founder, Aleena Long, created her bridal boutique with a vision in mind. The hope was that she could create a unique bridal collection that flatters all bodies, but also, that she could provide a comfortable, relaxed and lighthearted shopping experience for all - no judgements, just excitement and the desire to help brides find their perfect dress. And succeeded she has. This gorgeous bridal boutique is well-known for providing kind, compassionate service, with Aleena going the extra mile for all her brides.

While the physical studio is based in Brisbane's Northside, The Laid Back Bride’s stunning collection is also available for purchase online. One look at the effortless dresses in Aleena’s collection and you’ll see this is no ordinary assortment of wedding dresses; fresh, feminine, and modern styles make up the bulk of the designs, while hints of romance and minimalism are also apparent. Made exclusively with the finest fabrics, these dresses are a lovely mix of bohemian-chic and romantic-rustic styles and would perfectly suit the bride who is laid back, free-spirited, carefree yet graceful.

“Aleena is nothing short of amazing. Very professional, beautiful dresses, a wonderful space. I adore my dress and couldn't feel more comfortable and excited. 10/10 recommend. Thank you, Aleena!” Sophie

FAQ

As our dresses are made-to-order and created just for you, please allow up to 3-5 months for production and delivery from the date you order. Please also allow 4-6 weeks prior to your wedding for alterations. 

If you don't have this timeframe to work with we do sell our sample dresses off the rack (at discounted prices for the budget conscious) from time to time. Keep an eye out for our sample sales or enquire at info@tlbbride.com.

At TLBB size matters to us when it comes to being inclusive, which is why all our designs can be created in US sizes 0-28 (AU 2-30).

As we are a new and small bridal business we currently carry one sample of each design with sizes ranging from US 6-16 (AU 8-18). The sample size has been noted under the description on each dress page for your convenience. As we cannot stock a sample of every dress in every size we still invite you visit us in-studio so that you can see the dresses up close and in person, touch and feel the quality and where possible we will endeavour to give you an idea of what the dress may look like using a few tricks. We look to increase the number of sample sizes as we grow.

Remember, bridal sizing isn’t like typical street wear sizing. While you might be a street size 12 in general clothing, you’re in fact a bridal size 14-16, and if you’re a size 14-16, you’re likely an 18-20.  Don’t worry about it–sizing is just a number!

Yes! We currently deliver to Australia, New Zealand, United States, Canada and United Kingdom. 

Now, we know when it comes to weddings the costs quickly add up so we are offering FREE SHIPPING on all orders to our Australian customers.

International customers have a shipping fee applicable to their order at checkout.

I had such a good experience with Aleena from the Laid Back Bride. I found it so overwhelming looking at the hundreds and hundreds of wedding dresses online before I found her dresses. I loved all the styles and found it such a positive experience when I went in to try some on. I ended up choosing the dress Poppy and adding some longer fluttery sleeves. On my wedding day everyone was blown away by my dress and the compliment I got the most was that it looked like it was made for me! I loved it so much. Thank you to The Laid Back Bride

The Laid Back Bride have amazing customer service and wedding dresses. I bought my dress online through stillwhite l, which seemed really risky at the time as I couldn't try the dress on. But Aleena was so helpful and put me at ease. It only took a few days to arrive and my dress was packaged beautifully. The dress itself was stunning and I was so happy with my purchase. After the arrival of my dress Aleena checked in to see if I received it ok. Couldn't fault there customer service or dress design. The Laid Back Bride was a great choice!

Do most wedding dresses need to be altered?

What’s the likelihood that I’ll need alterations for my wedding dress and how much would I be looking at? (Wondering if I should do made to measure instead.)

The Laid Back Bride

All wedding dresses require some alterations to ensure a proper fit. The most common include a hem, bustle, strap adjustment, bust adjustment and taking in the waist. With regards to the price it depends on how much work is involved but you really shouldn't be paying anymore than $500 max for those common alterations I mentioned. Made-to-Measure is a great option for limiting the amount of alterations needed. Remember to allow at least 4-6 weeks before your wedding for alterations to be completed.
