Best Destination Wedding Dresses for 2025
By Wendy Makin

Wendy Makin’s French Collection is the epitome of elegance and versatility, offering stunning designs that are perfect for any destination wedding.

Wendy Makin, an acclaimed Australian bridal designer, is known for her exquisite designs that capture the essence of modern romance. Her French Collection is a testament to her talent, featuring gowns that are both timeless and contemporary. Her dresses are crafted with lightweight fabrics, delicate lace, and subtle embellishments, making them perfect for destination weddings where comfort and style are equally important!

The French Collection offers a wide range of designs that suit various wedding destinations. For a beach wedding, consider a flowing A-line gown with a delicate lace bodice and a soft tulle skirt that dances in the sea breeze. If you’re planning a garden wedding in the countryside, a bohemian-inspired dress with intricate lace detailing and a relaxed fit could be the perfect choice. For a chic city wedding, opt for a sleek, modern gown with clean lines and minimal embellishments that exude sophistication.





We asked Designer Wendy how she keeps her designs current and comfortable…
“Being a retailer as well as a manufacturer and wholesaler allows us to stay in constant contact with brides and react quickly to their changing needs and wants. This close relationship enables us to design each gown to be very wearable and accessible to all brides.
Comfort is a top priority, which is why we select high-quality fabrics that not only look beautiful but also feel luxurious and comfortable to wear. We ensure our designs cater to various styles while maintaining our unique signature and individuality, from the simple classic elegance of our Wendy Makin Collection to the modern romanticism of the French Collection.
Innovations such as one-shoulder designs with oversized puff sleeves and bows, and the use of 3D lace and embellished waistlines, ensure that our gowns are both fashion-forward and unique. We focus on individuality by allowing brides to personalise their gowns through different fabric choices, embellishments, and design details.
Using sustainable manufacturing processes and creating gowns that endure also make our collections extremely desirable for today’s bride. This approach ensures that each bride feels special and that her dress reflects her style while maintaining comfort and wearability.”


Destination weddings are all about embracing the natural beauty of your chosen location and creating a unique, unforgettable experience. The right wedding dress should complement the setting, be comfortable for travel, and suit the climate and ambience of your destination.

Wendy Makin’s French Collection strikes the perfect balance between style, comfort, and practicality, making it an ideal choice for brides planning a wedding abroad.
