I’ve long been a fan of the bridal accessories from Sydney based Kristi Bonnici – from veils, brooches, hair pieces and cover ups, Kristi has executed every piece beautifully. (Check out her “Moments Of Trespass” Collection“Sometimes A Whisper Is Enough” Collection, 2013 Bowerbird Collection and her 2011 debut collection). So when I heard Kristi was branching out into bridal gowns I was excited to see the results.

“Anatomy Of The Spirit” is the title of Kristi Bonnici‘s debut bridal gown collection. Inspired by the quote “ I am, two of the most powerful words. For what you put after them shapes your reality”, each gown, ready to wear and made to order is designed to represent the true spirit of the Kristi Bonnici brand. The gowns feature classic shapes with beautifully detailing – reflecting what Kristi is so talented at with her accessory collections. Lace trains, tulle godets, detachable beaded skirts are all able to be added on to gowns allowing ‘unique to you’ pieces.

Each gown is made (from patterns to fabric printing) in Australia, if not in Kristi’s own studio then within five kilometres of it- her belief in keeping it local and supporting local artisans was part of staying true to the brand.

“Anatomy Of The Spirit” along with coordinating accessories is available exclusively through the Kristi Bonnici website and showroom.
