The Ao Mārama Gown — World of Life and Light — is a two-piece slip gown that honours the natural world of Aotearoa. Featuring a fully embroidered overslip on soft tulle layered over a strapless nude underslip, it blends timeless elegance with modern couture.

Crafted from our exclusive Taiao embroidery, each motif has been chosen with deep cultural meaning:

Huia Bird – sacredness, mana, and prestige

Pōhutukawa – resilience, strength, and whakapapa

Mānuka Flower – aroha, nurture, and protection

Pātiki Pattern – abundance, manaakitanga, and generosity

Koru – new beginnings, harmony, and growth

Together, these details transform Ao Mārama into more than a gown — it is a taonga tuku iho, carrying the stories, treasures, and strength of te taiao into a bride’s future.
