Fashion designer Cristina Tridente created all four of her wedding dresses as she said yes to husband, Petar Filipovic on their fun, dreamy big day.
Cristina and Petar were engaged at Disneyland, Japan in 2023, after meeting through mutual friends a couple of years prior. Cristina, founder and designer at fashion label couture+love+madness, wore four gowns, all created by her and her team in-house. Her final dress was inspired by the nostalgia of signing year 12 school tops, and guests were invited to leave a message on her dress. Their ring bearer was their golden retriever, Hercules. “It was the best day of my life,” Cristina says. “It was the day I got to marry my best friend. It absolutely poured with rain, but we had such a beautiful day surrounded by all our family and friends.”
