About Us

Our Story

We’re Gianna and Alyssa, a mother-daughter duo and the proud owners of Brides First Forever. Our Brides First Forever journey began during Alyssa’s own search for the perfect wedding dress. Along the way, we met some amazing people and had many great experiences, but the process could often feel overwhelming and pressured. That experience showed us that there was room for a different kind of bridal experience, one that is relaxed, friendly, and truly supportive, where women can feel comfortable and at ease.

Together, we bring a balance of experience and passion to the studio. Alyssa spent over 15 years working in a major retail company, learning how to help people feel confident, cared for, and understood. Gianna has many years of experience in the dental industry, where making people feel at ease in a place they would often rather not be is incredibly important. She also loves playing with fabrics and exploring design.

We both love helping women feel amazing and confident. Coming from industries where people did not always feel their best, we have always been passionate about supporting others to feel valued and empowered. Being able to do this now in a safe and welcoming space is something we are genuinely grateful for and love every day. Continuing the beautiful legacy of Simon and Debbie, the founders of Brides First Forever, feels both an honour and a responsibility. By combining the high standards they set with our own personal touch, our goal is simple: to ensure every bride feels relaxed, supported, and confident from the moment she walks through our doors.
