Mariana Hardwick

To own a Mariana Hardwick gown is to experience what couture is truly about. From the initial selection process to the final execution of the gown, the Mariana Hardwick team fuse product, technique, and environment to create an experience like no other.

We design for the bride who is fearless—willing to go beyond the conventional to achieve a fresh and unique gown that truly represents her. She seeks inspiration from the global fashion landscape and is not influenced by passing trends. She understands quality and looks for a high level of craftsmanship, fabrication, and expertise in creating her ultimate gown.

With over 30 years of experience in creating custom couture, our highly skilled team specialise in technical corsetry and refined drapery. While we admire and uphold the best of traditional design and construction methods, our gowns are intended to feel modern, relevant, and unmistakably individual.

Each piece is meticulously handcrafted in our South Melbourne atelier, where heritage techniques meet contemporary design. From the first sketch to the final stitch, every gown is made with intention—celebrating the artistry of slow fashion and the beauty of a bride’s personal journey.
