FASHION Corset Queen 8289 views

For your catwalk moment as you walk up the aisle, a designer trained in historical stage costume is just the thing whether you want a modern silhouette or something with a vintage twist.

Anna-Maria D'Amato loves the theatrical drama of weddings and creates unique, bespoke gowns with waist-cinching corsets, stunning detailing and a strong emphasis on cut. Graduating in costume design, Anna-Maria has been creating dresses for theatre, film and brides for the last ten years. She has worked on the costumes for epics such as Phantom of the Opera, The Golden Age and Sweeney Todd. And with the hands on experience of a wardrobe mistress, the designer knows the importance of creating the head to toe look. As well as bespoke gowns, Anna-Maria creates bridal accessories to complement her gowns, lingerie for the big day and honeymoon and beautiful veils.

"What I love about my brides is that they are often just as passionate about costume and film as I am and want to re-create that magic on their wedding day. From the moment I opened my design studio, my first bride wanted a Marie-Antoinettte gown. Next came a Scarlet O'Hara Southern Belle and then a bride inspired by Princess Omedala from Star Wars. Over the years, I've created a feast of Oscar-winning gowns!"
