Interview with Becky Allen, Grace Interior Designer

We have always wanted our brides to think of our Grace Loves Lace bridal boutiques as an extension of our founder Megan Ziems’ own home. So, naturally, we have carefully crafted our showrooms so that your experience is true to our style and values; authentic, friendly and relaxed. And we couldn’t have done this without our extraordinary bridal boutique Interior Designer, Becky Allen.  

Becky has been working with the brand for many years now. She brings a sense of luxury, warmth and authenticity to our boutique spaces around the globe, differentiating the Grace Loves Lace boutiques from your average bridal shop or wedding dress boutique experience.

Si vous vous intéressez à la décoration d'intérieur ou si vous souhaitez simplement découvrir différentes façons de styliser votre propre maison, Becky a des conseils d'experte pour vous !

I was a trained visual merchandiser for years but always loved interiors, so it just seemed like the perfect progression for me.   

I love the values of the brand and how they haven’t changed as the company has grown. I also love working with Meg and that I’m trusted to do what I think works creatively for the brand and I have the freedom to make each showroom space beautiful and unique.   

I love them all for different reasons and don’t think I have a favourite… I feel the more we do the more refined and luxurious they feel so it feels like they just keep getting better… having said that I do love the Melbourne space, I love all the little rooms, it’s made for some really effective and interesting styling areas — it feels really intimate and inviting.  

Les plantes... elles peuvent complètement changer la sensation d'un espace et ajouter de la chaleur et de l'atmosphère.  

I love Athena Calderone of Eyeswoon and Jeremiah Brent.   

Comme nous utilisons beaucoup de textures naturelles comme le bois brut et l'argile, j'aime équilibrer cela avec des éléments plus doux comme le lin et les tapis... les tapis et les plantes ont un impact important pour rendre un espace accueillant.  

We took inspiration from Meg’s own home where she has Mediterranean inspired rugs and native plants; these ‘homey’ elements have been reflected in each boutique space to bring a piece of Meg’s home to each boutique location.

Pinterest is an amazing tool.

Don’t be scared to mix up all your pieces… one of the key elements to the Grace boutiques is the mixture of old and new. We use a lot of different wood tones and nothing is too matchy matchy. 

Here at Grace, we sell our gowns and accessories exclusively online and via our global bridal boutiques throughout Australia, UK and USA. These are the only spaces in the world where you can try on a Grace Loves Lace gown – which is why we aren’t your average wedding dress boutique experience.  

Each boutique is uniquely designed to give you the kind of experience we all dream of. You will be greeted by your personal stylist, with complimentary sparkling and our signature rose petal tea, who will take you through our luxurious sample range.

Your own private space, flooded with natural light, warm tones, textured rugs and gold accents; what more could a woman want! You and your guests can relax while we help you find ‘The One’!
