MEET LIAH..

I'm Liah Hughes (Roebuck), owner and operator of Liah Roebuck Bridal. Wife to John, mother to two little girls Lily and Alex.

After falling in love with sewing at High School, I went off to further this passion at Massey University, New Zealand and the Academy of Arts University San Francisco completing a Bachelor of Fashion Design with honours. Following graduation, I moved back to beautiful Taranaki and Liah Roebuck Bridal was born, offering a custom and off-the-rack design service specialising in wedding dresses and accessories.

I’m so proud to be 100% New Zealand made, all dresses and products are designed, handcrafted and fitted right here in my local custom built studio. I am a perfectionist, and no detail is forgotten or overseen, I work with you every step of the way to ensure everything is perfect for your big day.

When I am not in studio, you’ll find me running, reading, relaxing and spending time with friends and family. Please if you ever see me, please stop and say hello!
