About Pearl Button Bridal
Pearl Button Bridal Couture is an ethical and sustainable bridal studio. The studio where all the making is done is near Milton on the South Coast of NSW. Fittings and consultations happen at our address in Lewisham.
Dinah started Pearl Button to address the need for alternative bridal wear that is ethical and sustainable. When you think about it a wear once dress is really not the thing anymore. Design for reuse starts on the drawing board. We also create contemporary bridal wear from vintage and antique pieces by restoring and remodelling them. To find out more, book an appointment to chat with Dinah.
