The Annalise Harvey home - part of a creative hub in the heart of Cornwall

8/21/2013

Our studio is based in truly beautiful Grade 2 listed Georgian Mansion house in the heart of the Cornish capital, Princes House.

It's full of artists, designers, makers, photographers, chefs, beauty therapists, stylists and more all working together to help brides look and feel their very best on their big day.

It's so exciting walking around the building every day and peeking into character filled rooms where real creative magic happens - and beautifully crafted things leave with happy owners.  

Below is a little montage of what's been happening today - including a photo inside the studio showing Annie and her assistant Claire beavering away on some very special commissions for weddings in the coming months!

Top right - Anna D'Souza was beginning work on a new toile for one of her Brides. Anna specialises in corsetry and has a wonderful range of hand made garters to compliment your wedding gown.

Middle left - Jeweller Victoria Walker was working on one of her commissions, a stunning silver and 18 ct gold Rose locket for a couple who have enjoyed other pieces of Vicki's work.

Middle right - We welcomed home jeweller Mirri Damer who returned from the sapphire mines of Sri Lanka with a beautiful collection of jewels.

Bottom left - Annalise Harvey was working on a fairly last minute wedding dress in preparing this cotton toille for her Bride's fitting tomorrow. With her wedding fast approaching in October, a truly personal service is mandatory. You will see Annie's Assistant Claire hand stitching lace in the studio.

Bottom right - Having completed portrait shots as a Case Study photography project forwww.convergencecornwall.com Simon has spent the afternoon post producing his earlier shoots this week for Shield Environmental.

Cornwall Chef were enjoying a group tasting session this afternoon and our milliner Holly Young was busy working in her studio too.

'Evangeline' in Motion

8/7/2013

I spent ten years designing costumes for ballet before I set up the studio and as such the movement of each design is paramount.  As a bride you really want to make an impact on your wedding day - whether it's in the flutter of a silk chiffon sleeve, or the swish of beautifully cut skirt.  I often get requests for my commissions to make that 'Szhuszhy' sound as the client will walk down the aisle.  

Over the next few weeks we'll be sharing little tasters of some of our more popular dresses - which will give you an opportunity to get up close and personal to these glorious dresses which are all breathtakingly beautiful works of art in their own right.

First up it's Evangeline - a glorious 1920s confection of Chantilly lace and jersey silk tulle, with hand cut and finished detailing on the bodice and a wonderfully romantic sense of movement in the skirt.  

Enjoy!

NSPCC Charity Fashion Show at Trelowarren, The Lizard

It's the kind of evening that Cornwall needs much more of - top quality fashion events in beautiful heritage surroundings with a stellar cast of designers and models all raising money for a good cause.

Kindly hosted by Sir Ferrers and Lady Vyvyan, I was delighted to close the show with the Nostalgia and Couture Collections.  It was held on the 15th March in a marquee outside their ancestral family home, Trelowarren,  on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall 

The weather was truly awful all day - and we lost half of the changing room space in a howling gale, but the dresses survived and the audience would never have known what chaos was ensuing back stage!   Holly Young (headwear designer extraordinaire) and I travelled down together and really enjoyed the day doing what we love  - as Holly said to me ' Fahion Shows and Photo - shoots, that's what it's all about!! '

Ashley Hampson was on hand to record the event (a very pleasant surprise!) and you can see a selection of his pics below....  and fellow Princes House resident Simon Burt turned out too to do some social diary pics of the evening for the press coverage to come.

It was lovely to see Daphne Skinnard too - Deputy Editor of BBC Radio Cornwall who did an admirable job MCing the event.

All in all it was a truly great evening - with lots of money being raised for the NSPCC and i was delighted to be a part of it.  Enjoy the pics!
