Kia ora! I’m Ivonn Aranui, the founder and creative kaihautū of Ivonn Bridal Couture. As a couture designer, I am dedicated to crafting bridal gowns that celebrate individuality, culture, and elegance.
Originally from Aotearoa, I spent a decade honing my skills in the bridal industry in Australia. I returned to New Zealand to establish Ivonn Bridal Couture in the heart of Heretaunga, Hawke’s Bay. Here, I create each gown by hand, offering a unique service tailored to all brides. My focus is on making every bride feel special and celebrated on her big day.
I am passionate about shaping the bridal industry to be more inclusive, using my artistry to honor my heritage and inspire future generations. At Ivonn Bridal Couture, I offer custom gowns and bridal alterations, ensuring that every piece reflects the unique journey of each bride. Our mission is to provide culturally rich Aotearoa-inspired gowns that encapsulate the beauty and essence of our land.
