Anna Schimmel - European Bridal Designer
How We Work
To design and create exquisite, luxurious wedding gowns is my passion.
When we meet for a consultation we will discuss style ideas and I encourage you to bring along a scrapbook. You may try our collection bridal gowns and consider fabrics and detailing. Our conversation will include influencing factors, such as theme, location and wedding date.
I am available from Tuesdays to Saturdays. The $95 consultation fee is redeemed upon ordering a wedding gown.
You may choose to have a gown created, based on our collections. Or, like many of our brides, prefer an haute couture gown, designed exclusively for you. Bespoke collection wedding gowns crafted in the fabric and detailing of your choice begin at $4000. Haute couture gowns are priced during the design process.
Each wedding gown is individually crafted from the finest European fabrics, in our Ponsonby atelier. We start by drafting a pattern, which we then fit as a calico toile. We require three to five meetings (if you travel we can work to a tighter schedule) to translate a design into a perfect wedding gown.
Your beautiful wedding gown begins with a call to book a consultation. I look forward to meeting you soon.
