A DISTINCTLY BRITISH BRIDAL HOUSE REVOLUTIONISING THE WEDDING INDUSTRY FOR OVER 100 YEARS
Ellis Bridals is a pioneer of luxury British bridal. Established in 1912 in London, Ellis Bridals is now exclusively available in luxury independent boutiques worldwide.
Ada Ellis honed her craft by creating bespoke dresses for London’s early 20th Century aristocracy. The birth of Ellis Bridals came when on a bright January day in 1910 Ada herself walked down the aisle to marry Sam in the very first Ellis wedding gown. Her distinctive, elegant style struck a chord and word spread fast. Demand grew as brides across England clamoured for an original Ellis Bridals creation. The brand blossomed, carving a place at the forefront of British bridal-wear. Believing that you should work surrounded by what you love, in the 1960s Ada opened her central London Atelier.
The couple became a family and their children grew up surrounded by their parents’ devotion to design that has spanned the generations. In turn, Regine Ellis and her son James have become the co-creators of the legacy that continues to charm and enchant brides globally. True to Ada’s words, family bonds have kept the heart of Ellis Bridals in London, where it has always been.
Ellis Bridals is now over 100 years old, a century of living heritage that continues to inform and refine the design process. When a bride chooses Ellis Bridals, she chooses a little story. A gown embedded with history, tradition and love.
