This year Sanyukta Shrestha has been invited to showcase her designs during the catwalk show featuring dresses from top UK designers organised by ‘Brides Magazine’ during ‘Brides the Show’. The runway was turned into a ‘Secret Garden’ with country garden flowers, trees and greens building the picture-perfect setting and romantic backdrop to showcase our exquisite gowns.
The set design was inspired by the story of ‘The Secret Garden’, a classic English novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett’s, published in 1911. Fashion director Bryony Toogood hand-picked four of our whimsical and charming dresses which perfectly echoed the garden theme of the catwalk. All our dresses are eco-friendly, made of natural fibres and sustainable fabrics. Featuring our gowns on a flora & fauna inspired runway truly captured the vision for our brides because once dressed in a Sanyukta gown it will transform a bride into an enchanting beauty which is brought closer to nature in our skin nourishing gowns that are soothing, converting the dress into a second layer of skin.
Find below pictures of the catwalk show and a short description of the gown. If you would like to book an appointment, please click here.
