Anna Schimmel - European Bridal Designer

With over twenty years of experience creating Haute Couture (many of these in Europe) I am passionate about designing exquisite wedding gowns of outstanding quality. In our Ponsonby atelier we individually craft each wedding gown from some of the worlds finest fabrics.

For our brides we create stunning bespoke wedding gowns based on our exclusive collections, or individually design luxurious haute couture.

Meeting me for a personal consultation, you can try on wedding gowns from our beautiful range and discuss your ideas in detail. Once we have chosen your style and fabrics I will sketch your dream gown and quote you the price.

I am available Tuesday to Saturday and Saturdays are often fully booked in advance. The $90 fee is redeemed when booking a gown. Bespoke collection wedding gowns crafted in the fabric and detailing of your choice range from $3000 to approximately $5000.

When you place an order we will draft a pattern for you, fit a calico toile and I will meet with you for another three to five fittings to make sure your wedding gown is perfect. My work is done when your wedding gown is beautifully finished and you are completely happy.
