Without any further ado, be prepared to swoon, to be wowed and to coo like you've never cooed before; let's talk PURE...

As far back as I can remember I've always been drawing and painting, being raised in a family where everybody works with their hands.

I was especially inspired by my mother, who sewed and knitted unique and beautiful things, and I got from her my meticulous attention to detail.

I especially love to embroider with pearls and beads, using the total-look approach, so that the dresses and bridal accessories look like one complete composition, complementing each other.

2015 was quite an amazing year, as I've had an opportunity to work with most wonderful brides around the globe.

It was also a very creative year. Inspired by my lovely customers, I've designed two new collections for 2016: the "Music Room" and "PURE".

2015 was all about rediscovering the classics. Janis Joplin definitely was my fave, particularly "As good as you've been to this world".

For the "PURE" collection I've drawn inspiration from the sophisticated geometric silhouettes of the late Sixties as well as the daring, feminine and boho chic looks of the Seventies.

Special attention was given to developing cuts which will be comfortable to wear yet glamorous and flattering on women of all different shapes. I achieved this by using A-shaped silhouettes, high waisted designs and gorgeous plunging backs for a touch of drama.

I love designing with longevity in mind, so some of the designs are '2 in 1' convertible, enabling the brides to change the look from day to night, and even to recycle the pieces by wearing them on their honeymoon.

Daring, sophisticated and chic.

This line is all about ethereal, comfortable to wear fabrics- silk chiffon, silk satin, crepe and oh-so gorgeous guipure and Venice lace elements

My favourite design would be Veruschka, for the daring modern bride who's looking to create an utterly stylish and 'smart' day-to-night look.

Everything was perfect from start to finish! Excellent communication with seller - immediate response and very fast delivery. The dress was gorgeous, perfect fit, beautifully made, with the highest quality materials! Thank you so much, Anna! - JASNA

WOW oh WOW! This is so beautifully made. Extremely delicate and ethereal and lovely. SO incredibly BREATH-TAKING in person! I will be proud and honoured to wear such an exquisite piece for my wedding day. - CLAUDIA

I have never seen more beautiful, classic but unique, and luxurious hair jewellery. This headpiece is beyond gorgeous, and Anna was quick to respond and impeccable to work with in creating the custom jewellery for my wedding. Thank you so much Anna! - LAURA

We're just dumfounded (in a totally awesome way!) by the PURE collection! So bold, so adventurous, yet so elegant and timeless at the same time.

Peace + Love

Clare XO
