From bogan beauty to bride-to-be. Australia’s Next Top Model 2009 runner-up Cassi Van Den Dungen looks every bit the blushing bride in these spectacular couture wedding gowns thatcan be seen on the runway during Melbourne Spring Fashion Week at Melbourne Wedding & Bride presents ‘Dress Of Your Dreams’.

At an exclusive shoot featured in The Sunday Herald Sun to promote the parade, Van Den Dungen confirmed rumours that she’s engaged to her brickie boyfriend from Sunbury, Brad Saul, and looks forward to stepping into a wedding dress of her own next year. These behind-the-scenes shots were taken at The Spice Market shoot as she tried on gowns that will hit the runway.

At AskBronny we are very lucky to have the gorgeous Michaela Skilney, fashion stylist and the women behind the "Dress of Your Dreams" event as one of our fabulous resident bloggers! As such, we're able to bring you these gorgeous images and inside goss on the shoot. Michaela was super impressed with Cassi at the shoot with nothing but praise for her "Working with Cassi on the shoot was an absolute dream. Despite reports, she was 100% professional, posed like a pro and made our couture wedding gowns look amazing...she even revealed to me that she hopes to design her own wedding dress when the time comes!". Whilst Cassi won't be walking down the runway at the event, we're sure she'll make a stunning bride when she walks down the aisle!

Along with the parade, guests will enjoy champagne and canapés on arrival and will receive a complimentary bridal bag packed with wedding discounts and goodies.
