Meet Our Stockist: Bellissima Braut
As we celebrate Women's History Month, we are delighted to shine a spotlight on our mother and daughter stockist duo! Nestled in the heart of Tirol, Bellissima Braut is a bridal boutique built on passion, family, and a deep love for helping brides feel their very best.
Founded three years ago with the dream of creating something truly meaningful, the boutique began as a solo venture for Elke, and has since grown into a special mother-and-daughter business when her daughter Emma joined the business last year. Together, they have cultivated a space that feels personal, elegant, and thoughtfully considered.
With a carefully curated selection and a clear understanding of what modern brides are looking for, Bellissima Braut is fast becoming a sought-after destination in the region. We’re honoured to have our pieces included in their edit and to be part of the beautiful journeys they create for their brides.
Tell us the story behind your boutique - how did it start, how long have you been open, and what inspired you to start working in the bridal industry?
We have been open for 3 years now. I started out on my own in January of 2024, as I always wanted to do something that I was passionate about and that I could put my whole heart into. My daughter joined the business last year after completing her studies, and it’s been a joy working with her while growing our space at the same time.
How do you curate the designers in your store - what makes you connect with the brands that you carry?
The most important factors when considering the designers we choose to work with are how flexible they are. They must offer something that we don’t already have on our rails. We also keep price points and delivery lead times in mind, as these are important to our brides.
How would you describe the style and atmosphere of your boutique?
Our boutique is elegant and calm – a space designed so the brides feel good. Each bride has the space to herself, along with her friends and family, making it a very intimate experience.
What do you love most about working with brides?
We absolutely love to make, and see our brides happy on one of their most important days!
What is one piece of advice you give your brides during their wedding dress shopping journey?
Enjoy yourself and take the pressure off.
What bridal trends or styles are inspiring you right now?
We are very into bridal separates right now.
Do you have a favourite Catherine Deane piece/s? Tell us what draws you to this garment/s.
The Cora Gown. It's such a unique and special gown, and we have nothing else on our rails like it.
What is one thing you think brides absolutely must have on their wedding day (this could be anything from a make-up item, to a trinket, to a song - anything goes!)
Her dream dress and the accessories that complete the entire look.
Are there any exciting dreams or opportunities you are looking forward to in the future for you and your boutique?
