Hi there, lovely to meet you! I’m Leah, the designer behind Hello Lovers Australia jewellery.
I’m the one lucky enough to dream up and help create the sparkling jewellery pieces that make up our Hello Lovers collections. I’ve been in the bridal world for over 17 years now—which is wild to think about because it feels like just yesterday I was nervously diving into this adventure. Time really does fly when you’re doing something you love!
That’s not to say it’s all been smooth sailing. There have been plenty of long days, hard lessons, and a few mistakes along the way. But I’ve also had the privilege of meeting some incredible people who’ve helped shape my journey—whether by sharing their design wisdom or simply offering a bit of much-needed encouragement.
Bridal jewellery and accessories—my passion!
I have a bit of an obsession with accessories (which will be obvious the moment you see our collection!). I truly believe that you don’t need to spend a fortune to look and feel amazing—just invest in well-made, thoughtfully designed jewellery that complements your style.
For me, it’s all about the overall look. I always recommend starting with one statement piece—like a stunning pair of earrings—and then choosing smaller, complementary accessories to bring everything together beautifully with your wedding or formal dress.
hope you find your perfect sparkle!
I’ll admit it—I don’t have a poker face. So if you bring in a piece of jewellery from a cheap jewellery shop, I’ll try to be polite, but apparently, my face tells another story. Of course, it’s your choice, but just know that those poorly put-together designs and dull plastic gems can cheapen your whole bridal style.
But here’s the thing—you don’t have to spend a fortune to look amazing. It’s all about choosing well-made pieces with clear, well-cut gems and quality settings that look and feel like the real thing.
Jewellery that works together
One of my favourite parts of my job is creating mix-and-match collections. This means you can interchange complementary pieces for maximum wear—without having to spend days scrolling online trying to find a bracelet that actually matches those fabulous earrings you just bought.
It all started with wedding dresses…
My journey began with designing and making wedding dresses—think gorgeous lace gowns and effortless boho styles that celebrate femininity. But as more and more brides came to me with mismatched or just plain wrong wedding jewellery, I knew I had to do something about it. That’s how Hello Lovers jewellery was born—designed to be worn as beautiful, cohesive sets. Oh, and we’ve also added some stunning lace gowns to the Hello Lovers collection!
And then came veils…
Confession: I’m a bit of tulle snob. No fabric compares to quality veil fabric—it’s so dreamy and feminine. But it has to be just right—not too stiff, not too soft. A wedding veil should float around your shoulders like a cloud. That’s why we proudly design and make our veils right here in Melbourne. It’s a labour of love, but I refuse to compromise.
Choosing the perfect embellishments for veils that work seamlessly with bridal hair accessories—like crystal hair combs and tiaras—is an art in itself. The goal? To make sure they blend effortlessly, so your whole bridal look feels cohesive and polished.
Thanks for reading, and best of luck with your wedding or event planning!
Cheers, Leah xx
