Gabrielle Spencer graduated from fashion design school and unexpectedly found her calling in the bridal world and, in more recent years, under the mentorship of Anne Bertossi. Gabrielle has taken over the ownership and creative direction of THE BRIDEHOUSE. With over a decade of experience and a heart full of passion, she carries forward the boutique’s cherished tradition of bespoke bridal couture.

Drawing inspiration from the understated glamour of the 1920s and icons like Grace Kelly and Lily Collins, Gabrielle crafts gowns that speak to the heart of simplicity and sophistication. Recently, the allure of Kate Moss has inspired a shift towards more relaxed yet refined silhouettes, embodying the essence of effortless elegance for the contemporary woman.

As a mother, designer, and dreamer, she blends the timeless with the modern, crafting gowns that speak to the soul of each bride. 

THE BRIDEHOUSE | BULIMBA, formerly known as Paddington Weddings, carries a rich history that spans over three decades. Founded by Anne Bertossi, a renowned name in Australian bridal couture, the boutique has been a cornerstone of bespoke bridal elegance in Brisbane. Known for its commitment to craftsmanship and timeless design, Anne’s legacy is one of passion and precision.

Now located in Bulimba under the new direction of Gabrielle, THE BRIDEHOUSE continues its tradition of creating custom, handcrafted gowns, infused with her unique blend of modern sophistication and classic elegance.
