About  the Designer

A Wedding is a big event, and some believe that the dress is the star of the show. We don't. It is the Bride who steals the day, and a the perfect dress should reflect who she is; her passions, her beauty, her style, her originality, her flair. All of the things that, after all, made her future husband fall in love with her!

Dresses are handmade at the studio near Truro, and if ever you were a fan of the BBC's ‘'House of Eliott’', then you will love the experience you find here. Bolts of fabric, boxes of lace, it is a hub of creativity! Unlike many bridal boutiques, your experience here will be in the heart of the the action, you will see the fabric before it's cut, and you are actively involved in the design process as your gown evolves with our collaborative ideas.

Creative Director Annalise Harvey was trained by the best at Central St Martin's and London College of Fashion, and enjoyed a successful career designing costumes for the ballet for ten years prior to her relocation to Cornwall.

Consequently, all Annalise Harvey gowns are inherently respectful of the flow of the dress as it moves with the wearer, and each detail is placed to show each Bride off to her very best.

Our mission, led by a tireless dedication to beauty, is to create a gown which is so natural to the Bride that any other would be unthinkable.

Collection prices start at £850 and bespoke commissions begin at £1500.


Initial consultations are no obligation and no money is payable until a design has been commissioned. The studio is  creative haven and overwhelmingly inspiring so do give us a call on 07979 205574 for a chat with the Designer or to make an appointment to find out more.

Annie is a very professional and talented lady. She worked around my ideas and offered very expert advice. Her attention to detail, skill and customer service are second to none. She also exudes an immense passion for what she does, this is not just a job for Annie, her business is her love.
