Wedding gown designer Julie Simonelli was cut out to design. With a shoemaker for a mother and a milliner as a grandmother, fashion was in the Simonelli genes. Julie completed a degree in Fashion Design at RMIT, graduating with distinction. Her talents were quickly recognised with a leading womenswear company offering her a design position. After a few years developing her unique style, Julie decided to specialise in Bridal Wear and opened up Simonelli Bridal Couture 15 years ago.
