rosa-clara.com BRIDE The Hera As the goddess of marriage, women, family, and childbirth, as well as the queen of the gods, Hera embodies majesty and marital devotion. She is a fierce protector of her children and a strong guardian of all women, especially those who are wives and mothers. As the wife of Zeus, she is often depicted as a powerful and regal figure. Naturally, her bridal style reflects this presence: timeless, luxurious, and exquisitely detailed. Anyone wearing a gown inspired by Hera commands elegance, tradition, and enduring power, draped in silks, intricate beadwork, and crowned with quiet confidence. heracouture.co.nz HERA COUTURE, ARIANE A ballgown worthy of Olympus.
