New courte is a contemporary Australian fashion brand that has been producing minimalist, chic pieces for the modern, eco-conscious bride since its inception in 2021. After the COVID-19 pandemic, Anastasia Tushuizen, who owned luxury bridal boutique Carte Blanche Bride at the time, and Tania Stokes, who ran Tania Stokes Couture, noticed that the unprecedented global health crisis changed the bridal fashion landscape: They found that brides were interested in shorter dresses made with high-quality, materials. To meet this request, Tushuizen and Stokes decided to join forces (and their complimentary skill sets), and thus, Courte Collection was born.
From its atelier in Melbourne, the company handcrafts every design using recycled fabrics that are soft, comfortable, and durable. In addition to its sustainable practices, the brand also champions its intricate craftsmanship and traditional haute couture tailoring.
Below, the latest collection from Courte Collection.
Courte Collection Spring 2025
Courte Collection’s Spring 2025 line of wedding dresses, Jeux de Nuit, evokes modernity and minimalism. Some of the designs in the collection feature separates, such as mini skirts, tailored shorts, and wide-legged pants, that brides can pair with tops and jackets or even wedding dresses. By creating items that you can mix and match, the designers aim to make a statement about traditional bridal dressing and provide options that brides can rewear after the celebration. Additionally, the collection features its signature clean aesthetic and sleek tailoring, plus curved seams, drop waists, and contrasting fabrics. Of course, each ensemble maintains the brand’s sustainable initiatives.
