Anna Schimmel - European Bridal Designer

I have always loved beautiful clothes.
Being part of a large, rustic family who enjoyed the fine arts I spent my teenage years studying music and art while experimenting in photography and fashion.

Choosing to make fashion my profession I spent many years training and working with some great European Couture designers. I also completed a Masters Degree at the German Masters School of Fashion, one of the best fashion schools in Europe.

By the time I moved to New Zealand I had gained fifteen years of experience in

beautiful bridal and evening Haute Couture. I had also worked in high fashion and as a costumes master at a large theatre, adding another dimension to my skills.

While making my home here I freelanced as a patternmaker for top New Zealand fashion designers such as Karen Walker, Liz Mitchell and Trelise Cooper. Pregnant with my second child, I designed my first wedding dress collection. Many collections later we are known for our beautiful wedding gowns and happy brides. We love working with brides and are passionate about creating the most beautiful wedding gowns to make each of our brides look breathtaking on her wedding day.
