Sassi Holford

Sassi Holford designs and makes classic, English wedding gowns with a contemporary edge. Exquisite lines and sumptuous fabrics echo the bride.s own style, and nothing is spared in the structure and the detail to provide the renowned Sassi Holford cut and fit. All Sassi Holford gowns are produced by a first class team of talented cutters, seamstresses and hand beaders in her Somerset studios.

There are two Sassi Holford stores, the first her beautifully refurbished Taunton boutique. The second is her flagship showroom in Chelsea, where she received the commission to design the gown for Autumn Kelly's marriage to Peter Phillips - the first of the Queen's grandchildren to tie the knot. The Sassi Holford label is carried by an exclusive list of retailers in the UK and Europe, and in 2007 Sassi enjoyed a highly successful debut in New York which has firmly established her in the very challenging North American market.

Bridal couture is a passion for Sassi: "I love enhancing the female shape. Brides want to walk up the aisle feeling their most beautiful, and the right wedding dress can achieve that. It has to have a little bit of theatre!"
