Mail Order Bride

One of my most frequently asked questions from Brides around the world is: How do I get a HARTNELL gown?

You can live anywhere on the planet and have a made to measure couture dress made for your wedding.  I developed my Mail Order Bride service for those brides…and mothers,  who have given up on finding their dream dress.  They find me online, send the contact form and I personally answer that day.  How unique is that, when the designer speaks directly to you about YOUR wedding gown and comes to the rescue to make it happen!  

The bride chooses her favorite gown style, and sends photos of herself so I can see her ‘persona’.

She also fills out a detailed measurement chart and eventually we arrive at the Perfect Dress.  We go to work in the studio making a custom pattern, order the silk and begin the process of making a couture gown.  We stay in close contact with the bride so she knows exactly how things are going and everyone is excited when we ship. 

When photos of the wedding arrive, my team and I share the happiness and pride in making one bride so happy to have the dress she thought was only a dream. 

My current favorite Mail Order Bride is Anna from Borneo…yes, Borneo.  Anna is an English woman teaching at a school in Sarawak.  Coincidentally, I’ve actually been to Borneo and understood her predicament. The chance of finding a silk charmeuse gown there for a wedding which was to be in an estate in the English countryside was daunting and very unlikely.  By using my Mail Order Bride service, she had her designer gown.   Wherever you live, I’m here for You!

Bridal Veils

Brides are always surprising me. Weddings have trends just like high fashion, and I could count on one hand the veils ordered over a three year period in the recent past.  Today, at least half of my brides are gazing dreamy-eyed in the mirror trying on designs from my new Hartnell Veil Collection.  As a designer, it’s my job to create and present new ideas to my clientele, but it’s also exciting for me to learn from you!  
With our current economy, clever Brides have recreated their wedding vision from three hundred guests at a large hotel to eighty on the beach with a celebration dinner at the hotel or club.  With less hoopla, yet still with a desire for romance and elegance, the veil is an iconic image and creates a vision that guests will remember.  

You can see these beautiful veils from the collection on my website…and  more fabulous designs here in the studio.  These veils are from my Clouds Veil Collection. 

Like our gowns, our veils are also couture made to order, and I would be delighted to create the perfect veil for you!

As a special offer to my online followers, brides ordering from September 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010 will receive a FREE veil from my  Clouds Veil Collection. Just mention that you read my blog!
