Amy Mair Couture – Pure & Beautiful Wedding Gowns

As someone who simply adores the great outdoors and spends a lot of time walking and running through the countryside, it’s somewhat understandable that my wardrobe tends to err towards the practical rather than the pretty. Happily, being part of the wedding world allows me to wallow in the beautifully feminine as often as I like. Today, I am beyond thrilled to be able to introduce you to the delicate styling and subtle glamour of the wedding gowns from Amy Mair Couture, an exceptional designer who draws her inspiration from the natural world and all the delights that has to offer.

Amy Mair is, quite simply, devoted to her work and her absolute love for designing and creating heavenly designs and dresses is clear for all to see. She had worked for designers and couturiers before being handed an amazing opportunity to work alongside a bridal boutique where she designed a wedding dress collection that was so well received she knew she was ready to launch Amy Mair Couture.

“I have always wanted to create beautiful gowns and use luxurious fabric to create stunning silhouettes,” says Amy. “I started out as a keen artist at school – I was always the first to arrive for art class and would stay in during lunch, drawing and experimenting because it made me so happy. But once I was taught to sew and manipulate form through pattern construction, I developed a whole new love and passion for design that was more challenging and more rewarding than painting on canvas.”

Amy’s artistic flair is wonderfully apparent from the very first glance at the ethereal designs that make up her new ‘Eira’ collection. The combination of carefully selected and personally sourced fabrics, specialised laces, silks, trims and edgings bring the influence of tranquil coastlines to life in gowns that flow and move with whomever is lucky enough to wear them.

“I continually strive to create wedding gowns that combine beautiful lines and luxurious textures. This collection offers something that is original and exclusive and soft drapes contrast with the tailored fit of corseted bodices for a truly seductive outline,” explains Amy. “It’s important to me that when a bride is wearing an Amy Mair Couture wedding gown, that she’s not simply wearing a dress but she’s wearing her dress in her own unique way. I love working with my fabulous clients to create something that projects their style.”

Amy Mair’s rather inspiring approach to wedding gown design has also led her to open a fantastic new studio in the appropriately named Creative Quarter in Cardiff. With large mirrors, a gorgeous warm interior, texture boards, luxe fabrics, draped toiles on mannequins and of course, the elegant gowns of the new collection, it is an absolute bridal haven and certainly speaks volumes about this committed and creative brand.

“Designing and making brings me so much joy that I couldn’t imagine following any other career path. I consider myself to be very fortunate indeed – being able to do what you love is amazing.”

I just adore the fact that Amy Mair Couture uses social media to allow us to follow her journey and experience the excitement that surrounds designing wedding gowns – there are sketches, snippets of designs, photos of things that have inspired new work and also glimpses into the life of the studio with snaps of toile experiments and new fabrics. Amy is also incredibly keen to hear your thoughts on her designs so do connect with her on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook to find out more.
