We chatted to Trish about the news space, how brides can engage with her over lockdown and also about our beautiful issue 19 cover star Olivia who is wearing a Trish Peng gown…
What can brides do now in lockdown if they do want to make contact with you about gowns?
Even though we have temporarily closed the doors and jumped into our bubbles. We are offering virtual consultations to design your dream dress from the safety of your home. No matter where you are in the world, a custom creation is just a video chat away.
Has this time motivated you to do anything new for the business? (new ideas, collections, styles etc.)
Absolutely! Prelockdown I was so busy with opening the new store, I didn’t have time to work on the actual business. The past few weeks has allowed me to really work on all aspects like updating the website, implementing new systems in place and working on our next collection.
Can you tell us a little about our current cover star and real bride Olivia and her beautiful gown that you designed?
I loved creating Olivia’s dress! We had consultations with her in both our Auckland & Los Angeles boutiques. She had such a classic, timeless style, which complimented my aesthetic perfectly. As she was getting married in Downtown LA, we had to find the perfect mix to also suit the venue. Danelle captured the perfect moment and I’m so honoured to have our work on the front cover!
What are you most looking forward to after the COVID 19 restrictions come off both business and personal?
I actually can’t wait to support the local businesses who have been really affected by this lockdown. A cup of fresh brewed coffee and dining out at our local restaurants will be the first! However, the biggest thing I’m looking forward to is opening our pink doors again to welcome all our current and new brides!
Anything else in relation to the current situation that you want to add?
My heart goes out to the brides who have had to postpone or cancel their big day. However, love is not cancelled – try to enjoy this lockdown and appreciate the time spent with your loved ones. Love always wins x
