Fashioned with care Somerset-based Mya Rose is a contemporary British bridal label founded by designer Claire Riley, creating made-to-order gowns designed for stylish brides who want to feel like themselves on their wedding day. The debut collection explores the relationship between strength and softness. Architectural lines are softened by fluid draping, while sculptural silhouettes sit alongside romantic textures and delicate detailing. Embroidered lace, soft satins and sheer silks are layered to create depth, movement and quiet luxury. For Claire, sustainability was a non-negotiable from the beginning. Mya Rose therefore takes a slow-impact approach, with fabrics sourced using natural or recycled fibres and certifications whenever possible. Every gown is made to order in the UK, helping to avoid overproduction and reduce unnecessary waste. Keep your eyes out for the next issue of Your South West Wedding, where we’ll be bringing you a peek at the collection.
