Australian Bridal Designer Under $1000 - European Byron Bay Castle Wedding at Nutting Hill
A romantic modern shoot featuring the Burleigh, Lennox & Kirra gowns
This editorial shoot at Nutting Hill, Byron Bay brings European elegance to Australia’s most iconic wedding region. With its pink castle backdrop, vintage wedding car and deep burgundy styling, it’s modern, moody and full of heart.
Planned and styled by my team at @luxeelopements_byronbay, this concept reflects exactly why I created Sarah-Jane Byron Bridal — for real brides who want beautiful, ready-to-wear gowns without the wait or the price tag.
The Story
After 15 years as an award-winning wedding photographer and planner, I saw a gap for affordable luxury bridal gowns under $1,000 that still looked incredible on camera. Every piece in my collection — including the Burleigh, Lennox and Kirra gowns — was designed for modern elopements and micro weddings like this one.
The Details
Nutting Hill’s blush-pink exterior inspired the rich red and gold palette. @pikt created lush, textural florals in deep tones, complemented by soft candlelight and gold accents from @theonedayhouse.
The scene featured vintage touches including the May the EK pink wedding car, parasols, biodegradable confetti from @thewholebride, and the prettiest Flossy Byron Bay mobile bar.
The Bridal Gowns
-
Burleigh — sleek high neck, minimalist and modern.
-
Lennox — romantic kimono sleeves inspired by Stevie Nicks
-
Kirra — structured one shoulder with bow detail and thigh spilt
Each gown is designed for ease, comfort and confidence — made to ship quickly and camera-ready.
