She’s designed hundreds of wedding dresses for others but on Sunday, Cristina Tridente finally wore one of her own as she tied the knot with Petar Filipovic.

The leading Adelaide designer and her beau exchanged vows at Jackson Square in Hindmarsh, before celebrating with a stunning reception at Out in the Paddock’s Soho Supper Club on Festival Plaza.

Ms Tridente – who designed the four outfits she wore during the day – described the nuptials as “absolutely spectacular”.

“It was such a beautiful day. I couldn’t decide what I wanted to make for my wedding dress so I actually did four changes which was super fun and exciting,” said the couture+love+madness founder of her dresses, which ranged from a traditional ballgown to a mini-dress.

“I really got to experiment with some different looks.

“I definitely wanted to incorporate colour as well so there was even a bit of red and black, and my main dress had undertones of blue with white painted flowers.”

Mr Filipovic wore a tailored suit by Beg Your Pardon, with his jacket sporting a soft hounds tooth print in maroon.

The happy couple will tie the knot for a second time on the Italian coast next month.

They were engaged in June last year while holidaying in Japan. Mr Filipovic popped the question at Tokyo Disneyland, proposing with a stunning engagement ring created by Adelaide’s Laura Lediaev from Ezara Fine Jewellery.

Ms Tridente has made hundreds of wedding gowns for clients and custom designs for celebrities, including Sam Smith, Dannii Minogue, Julia Morris, the Governor of South Australia, Frances Adamson and the Christmas Pageant’s royal family.

Most recently, she dressed Jules Sebastian at the 2024 Logie Awards.
