Not only did she create the perfect wedding dress for me, she is so kind and down to earth, and listened to what I wanted.
Highly recommend Anna if you are looking for beautifully made dresses.

GIVING BACK
HOW OUR WEDDING GOWNS DO GOOD
Every Anna Schimmel wedding dress supports a girl in Togo, Africa to attend school for a year. Through our partnership with SHE, each bridal gown helps provide a uniform, tuition, and the support she needs to continue learning. Over the years, our New Zealand brides have made possible more than 400 years of girls’ education.
If you are searching for a unique and beautiful wedding dress, a gown that frames and enhances your natural beauty, your choice can also help make the world a better place. Together, we are giving young girls the chance to stay in school, build confidence, and create a brighter future.
