For True Bride Seyma, finding her wedding dress meant embracing her love of colour, pattern and something a little unexpected. With help from the True Crew at True Society in Rosebery, she found her match in Essense of Australia D4158 —a romantic ballgown with a distinctive floral texture. A flower-embroidered veil featuring her favourite colour, green, made the look unmistakably hers.
Seyma and Yakup celebrated at The Grounds Coffee Factory, bringing their Turkish heritage into the day through food, music and two languages. Read on for Seyma’s favourite memories, her dress shopping experience and the details that brought their dream wedding to life.
SEYMA, TELL US ABOUT YOUR PARTNER. HOW DID YOU MEET?
My partner is the ying to my yang. He is the caring quiet one, and I am the loud one – hehe. We met online and I can’t imagine my life without him.
WHAT WAS YOUR PROPOSAL LIKE?
Our proposal was in a beautiful cottage in Tasmania.
DESCRIBE YOUR BRIDAL STYLE.
I love colour and pattern. While shopping, I was after something completely different from the usual classic style. We were able to incorporate this by picking a dress with a floral pattern and then an amazing veil, which had my favourite colour (green!) embroidered with beautiful flowers. It was definitely unique and everyone loved it.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR DRESS SHOPPING EXPERIENCE AT TRUE SOCIETY
Was an amazing experience at True Society in Rosebery from beginning to end! We had such a great time trying on a lovely variety of dresses. And such care was taken to make me feel comfortable and assist as I found the perfect dress. I was after something a little more unique and my True Crew stylist went above and beyond to find an amazing variety of dresses and keep it fun and make it such a great memorable experience.
TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR WEDDING.
Our cultural background is Turkish, so it was beautiful to have our family and friends there to celebrate with us in both languages and cultures – from food to music and more. I think the most special memory was the ceremony. It felt surreal to have everyone there celebrating US. All of the planning came together, and every venue, flower and detail looked like the dream wedding we had envisioned.
HOW DID YOU FEEL IN YOUR GOWN ON YOUR WEDDING DAY?
I truly felt like my dress was made for me and made me feel beautiful on my wedding day.
HOW DID YOUR PARTNER REACT WHEN THEY SAW YOU IN YOUR WEDDING DRESS?
He absolutely loved the dress and also said it was so me!
