About Us

“Even though fashion changes and your wardrobe updates, your wedding dress is the one gown that is sentimental and that you’ll have forever. It is the one dress you’ll own that is timeless.

Bridal couture always had an appeal to me because of its creativity. The beadwork, textures, appliqués, fabrics, and laces, letting you create something spectacular from just an idea."

My mother was a seamstress and made all of my clothes... and I loved fashion… it seemed like the perfect fit."

- Connie Di Genni - 

Since those early days watching my mother, I’ve had over 38 years of experience as a bridal couture seamstress and consultant, specialising in made to measure and alterations, as well as designing my own gowns.

I have now decided to take my belief in the perfect bridal gown to a new level with Accapella. This is my own bridal boutique, where I import and stock internationally renowned labels and dresses that are only of the highest quality and nothing less than stunning.

I do not believe that when it comes to your wedding dress that one size fits all, each bride is unique and will wear each dress differently. So to deliver you the best service possible, all consultations are by appointment only one bride at a time. Your first appointment will be with either myself or our bridal stylist Alison - or sometimes both of us! You will have all your fittings and subsequent consultations with me personally, so together we can make the gown your own. Any alterations to your gown will be done by me personally, ensuring that you have the perfect fit on your day. 

I’ll be able to fit your dress to your body shape with the overall design inspiration for your wedding in mind. We can take a new dress or design and make it your own, or we can recreate another dress, for example your mother’s bridal gown, to be yours forever.

Our goal here at Accapella Bridal is to help create for you the bridal gown you imagined - that will fit seamlessly and age timelessly.
