Leading Lady

March 12, 2020 Tanya Anic

When actor Emily Eskell married Joel Lumsden in the NSW Southern Highlands, it was so much more than a beautiful day at a country retreat.

Set in Australian regional heartland, Wombat Hollow, which sounds like a dream destination, turns out to be just that. Gum trees, walking tracks and hide-away coves are the prelude to the wide night skies and the oh, so breathe-deeply, fresh air. A short drive from Bowral, the perfect blend of nature and history was matched with modern Australian cuisine from Grand Bistro.

The venue is truly amazing! A place where luxury meets bush surrounds and is punctuated with collectables of Art through time. This is mostly celebrated with the reinvention of artefacts to produce bespoke lamps skillfully crafted by artist Michael Yabsley.

Leading lady, Emily Eskill wore a custom-made bridal gown by Australian designer Tanya Anic while Husband Joel Lumsden wore a traditional Scottish kilt. Both fitting for the grand Highland party.

Emily’s Bridal Gown by Tanya Anic, was both dream-like and surprising, featuring a fine, flowing chiffon skirt with long sleeve and lined, soft-tulle overlay of hand-applique diamante bows. To complete the look and a nod to the landscape and possibly tradition, Emily stepped into her blue suede boots.

“Love you, Love my Dress, it was magic!” Emily

A Pearl In Time

January 3, 2020 Tanya Anic

From wild waters to sublime seas, beauty abounds from the natural persistence of tides and seasons to yield in the precise time the most beautiful pearl.

Born from the awesome depths of the rugged Kimberley ocean terrain, each pearl has a story of life, shaped through strength and calm. The oyster shell is naturally cultivated through this nurture process and carefully opened to reveal the light reflecting lustre of the most beautiful, luxurious celebrated sea gem, the Paspaley pearl.

Written in the stars

June 28, 2018 Tanya Anic

There is not one soul who looks to the stars in the night sky and remains unchanged. Through the years Astronomy and the gazing at galaxies have captured the wonderment of endless possibilities in many minds and hearts. The star is something of a phenomenon, a light that echoes through time to reflect the story of existence, what it was, what it is and what it continues to be.

It is when we consider the star association with appreciation of an everlasting beauty we realise the very existence of this star has taken years of perfection. Beyond the heavenly gaze we can imagine the truth and majesty in this single light, a constant reminder it took a multitude of variables to be in place at the right time.

Esta Bridal Gown by Tanya Anic — **Esta Bridal Gown** by Tanya Anic

So often associated to dreams of ethereal, divine occasions we believe the stars are perfectly aligned at the time we connect with the forever mate of our soul and it is unimaginable to think of life before them or after them.

The moment we capture and celebrate this union is the inspiration to the latest bridal collection by Designer Tanya Anic. An exclusive range featuring opulence and movement with flowing silks, glistening beads and sheer imported lace, each gown reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour yet contemporary in choice combinations.

Signature embellishments and easy interchangeable designs can be configured to be as individual as you are. Choose from sheer lace, intricate faux- leather bows; crystal, and pearl beading for bodice top and soft floating or fitted skirts.

“I confess I do not know why, but looking at the stars always makes me dream. ”

— Vincent Van Gough
