She will discuss fabrics and make suggestions and sketches before the process of making your perfect wedding dress begins.

"It's great to see that a huge trend for brides right now is to relax and do things your own way," Says Anna.  "I love working with brides looking for something unique." She uses traditional fabrics sourced from trusted silk and bridal suppliers whilst a beautiful 'eco' dress can be made using organic silks or hemp silk satin.
