Couture Bridal and Fashion Collection

Since the initial launch in 2009, Zita has developed a full range of real flower dresses, sashes, veils, circlets, hair-pieces, bags and
jewellery, known as the Living Embroidery or Floral Embroidery Collection.

Each item is unique and created especially for brides and other clients according to colour, season or theme.

Zita’s couture bridal gown in 2014 was based around the theme of Sleeping Beauty and was unveiled at Brides The Show where she
won the Condé Nast Brides Editor’s Gold Design Award for her stand. Inspiredby Sleeping Beauty, this fairy-tale floral wedding dress was handmade with hundreds of fresh roses, hyacinths, delphiniums, hydrangeas and wax flowers on a deep cut bodice, with a fluid powdery grey skirt of silk organza layered with fresh sea lavender. Created especially for Brides The Show, it sashayed down the runway to huge critical acclaim.

This was the exhibition which saw Zita win the coveted Condé Nast Brides Magazine’s Editor’s Gold Design Award.

Prior to her extraordinary dress’ catwalk appearance, Zita’s naturalistic bouquets graced dozens of other wedding dress designers’ outfits.

These were in keeping with the fresh meadow flowers which Zita used to line the catwalk itself, fulfilling Brides magazine’s dreamy English country garden brief.
