Real Bride Hannah – Timeless Wedding Dress

Real bride, surrounded by bridesmaids.

Thank you so much for designing my dream dress for my wedding day! I felt so amazing!
Thank you for making the process of designing and making the wedding dress such a fun, memorable, and exciting time.

Hi Anna
Spyro and I had the most lovely day, and I and everyone absolutely loved my dress!!
Everyone commented how elegant and classic the dress was, how it suited my personality and fit perfectly, and just how stunning it was. Of course, I let everyone know you designed the dress!!

Spyro said when I walked down the aisle for the first time that he just loved it, and thought the dress was perfect; definitely a ‘Hannah’ dress.
Your craft, experience, and professionalism was outstanding. I also so appreciated all of the fantastic advice and guidance you gave me during the process.
Thanks again for everything you did for me!!
Hannah

A Timeless Wedding Dress for Hannah – The Design

Real bride Hannah had followed our bridal work for some time and came to see Anna with a clear vision: she wanted a timeless wedding dress that felt classic yet unique. She loved the idea of a dramatic back bow and earmarked this as the key detail for her gown.
When trying on wedding dresses at our Auckland studio, Hannah fell in love with Mikado satin. This crisp, structured fabric was perfect for creating a classic A-line gown with volume and elegance. Its subtle sheen and beautiful drape provided the ideal canvas for Hannah’s design.
We built a softly panelled bodice with light boning and delicate straps to ensure a flawless fit. The skirt was a gently flared A-line with plenty of movement for her romantic bridal look. The adjustable tie-back bow was incorporated into the design so the waist could be cinched perfectly, adding that special feature Hannah had hoped for.
“Designing Hannah’s timeless wedding dress was such a joy – it captured everything she envisioned: understated elegance, beautiful fabrics, and a detail that made the gown truly her own.” Anna
