Rebecca Vallance is furthering her presence in the bridal market with a category expansion.
The Australian bridal designer is introducing her first accessories collection, which will be available exclusively at Mytheresa later this month. The collection offers veils, headbands, hair bows and earrings that leverage the brand’s bridal motifs.
“For this particular collection, I took inspiration from my own wedding day,” Vallance said. “I was married almost 14 years ago, when brides didn’t have more than one dress or look. I’ve read on the end of day reports from my stores that customers are coming in and purchasing numerous dresses for their day. This collection plays into what I would have loved to see as options in 2023, and if I was a bride doing this all over again.”
The brand’s bridal dresses have a more minimal aesthetic, and Vallance wanted to offer statement accessories to balance the bridal looks, she said. The collection includes a range of bold statement earrings, such as designs with a bow or heart motif.

Vallance also highlighted the collection’s veil as a key piece. It is designed with tiny pearls sewn throughout, and the designer described the veil as “a piece of art.”
“There is no doubt within the design process this capsule drew inspiration from our existing bridal pieces, aiming to seamlessly complement our current and future bridal ranges,” she said. “I envisioned this collection as an elegant extension, incorporating delicate heart motifs and pearl embellishments that can be perfectly styled back to key pieces of the collection. My aim was to strike a balance between contemporary trends and a timeless appeal. I understand that wedding day jewelry holds a special place in a bride’s vision, and it should exude both sophistication, lasting elegance, but also express her own sense of style.”
Going forward, Vallance has plans to expand the accessories collection to offer pieces for other wedding-related events, like a bridal shower, wedding ceremony or reception. She also has her sights on releasing a dedicated jewelry collection.
