The GAIA story began in 2013 when multi award-winning bridal boutique owners Maria and Simon Ryan decided to create their own bridal collection to appeal to the brides that came to their store. 

The designs proved to be popular and the success of these initial styles gave them the confidence to offer their collection to other independent bridal retailers under the Catherine Parry brand name. Rebranded in 2020 to Gaia bridal, they go from strength to strength.
