SUZANNE

GLENTON

Suzanne Glenton is known for her sophisticated designs, reminiscent of the glamour of the 1930’s and ‘50’s and of an era when screen legends such as Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn were admired as much for their style as their beauty.

Her designs are elegant and unfussy and show an appreciation of sumptious fabrics such as crepes, duchesse satin and silk zibeline, which flatter the figure and hang beautifully, bias-cut skirts skim the hips and dresses are finished off with intricate beading, which show a close attention to detail.

Suzanne makes a point of seeing all her clients personally. This initial meeting helps her to build up a picture of each individual and the style of their wedding, taking into account the type of ceremony, venue, flowers etc as well as the bride herself, her figure and taste. She is then able to work closely with a client to find the right style of dress to suit the occasion, whether grand and extravagant or relaxed and informal.

She also offers a service for mother of the bride and attendants, a selection of beautiful bridal shoes by Diane Hassall, alongside a collection of tiaras and headdresses by Polly Edwards and Blossom. Because all clients are seen on a one-to-one basis, visits to the showroom are on an appointment only basis, even if only to view accessories.

Suzanne Glenton began her career as a designer some 15 years ago after studying design at Sydney College of the Arts.
She moved to the UK in 1990 and began work as a freelance designer before launching her first collection in 1996, and went on to win New Designer of the Year in 1997 Brides Bridal Awards.

Each year since, her collections has had at least one finalist and she holds the current 2001 Classic Design Award and is currently working on designs for 2006.
