Adapting to COVID-19

Life is full of surprises and 2020 has been the biggest one yet.  As hard as this has been on all of us, we stand in unison as we experience this change together.  We have all witnessed the amazing ability to connect, come together and get through this.  Bella E La Bestia would like to thank you all for your efforts as part of the community whether that is by staying home or serving on the frontline - both extremes are extremely courageous and you should be proud.  Collectively, we have all been made to adapt to the conditions we face in solidarity - one iso day at a time.

We are so grateful that restrictions are now easing in Victoria with wedding party limits now set to 20 people and we are excited to be of assistance to you with finding your dream wedding dress. At first, the team at Bella E La Bestia was extremely worried about being able to stay in business for obvious reasons - we can’t sell dresses if there are no weddings!  As the restrictions came in, many brides-to-be were made to cancel/move their weddings to a later date.  However, it was to our utmost delight that the phone kept ringing, emails kept coming and direct messages were sent -  all enquiring about bookings!   Some people are going as far as to have virtual weddings online.   You can read more about that here. https://www.modernwedding.com.au/the-guide-you-need-to-throw-a-virtual-wedding/.

It’s thanks to you that we are able to operate and keep our doors figuratively open during what has been the darkest season in wedding history.  By buying from us you are keeping all of our jobs secure, you’re helping families keep food on the table and above all - you’re contributing to that beaconing glimmer of hope that one day, we will be celebrating with our loved ones because the pandemic will be over!  And we can’t wait to see a steady stream of wedding photos drift in from your special days.  


We have a few announcements to take note of listed below:

1.  We are now allowed to accomodate you and 3 other guests during your fitting.  So let’s crack open the champagne and celebrate together while you find your dream wedding dress!

2.  There are currently no delays on dress making or deliveries.  Be assured that we are maintaining the utmost quality control through production.

3.  We will keep in touch with regards to any further announcements or changes to orders.

We have had a lot of time to think about how we can give back during this time and want to let you know that we are aware of the many struggles you are currently facing.  We understand that many of you have had to postpone your wedding and/or are experiencing financial difficulty during this time.  Rest assured we are aware of this and we are doing everything we can to accomodate you.  The team at Bella E La Bestia Bridal are currently working on finding more ways to give back to you and working on solutions to help to make your dream wedding possible.  There are a number of projects we are working on and options available to you as a bride-to-be during COVID-19. 

Here is the list below:
