ELLEN + ESTELLE

Tell us about your dream wedding? 🤍

We got married in Jersey which is where my husband (Luke) is from. It was important to us that my husband’s grandparents could come and enjoy the day to the fullest. We knew we would get married at La Mare before we even visited. All that we wanted was that everyone we loved was there, good food & lots of drinks. Luke is a big golfer so we had a wedding themed mini golf which was such a good reception activity.

 

Tell us about your final bridal look, what did you wear and how did it come together?

I wore Estelle by Justin Alexander. I always knew my dress would be minimal, a-line strapless, just amazing fabric and well fitted. That is why I came to Anna Bridal as I was finding it hard to find a minimal dress at the time - I didn’t try anything but those types of dresses on. Veil was a pearl veil from Richard’s design. My shoes were Jimmy Choo love crystal pumps. Other than that I just wore pearl drop earrings from merjuri.

Tell us about your dress shopping at Anna Bridal, what was your stand out moment?

As soon as I told Anna & Millie what I wanted all the dresses that they pulled out were absolutely on point. I think the best thing about Anna Bridal is there is absolutely zero pressure, they are so supportive but more than that they just want to make sure you are comfortable you have found the one. Also, I didn’t go anywhere else that fitted the dresses so perfectly that you could really get an idea as to what it would look like tailored. It was such a good experience & the range of dresses in different styles makes me think it would be difficult not to find a dress.

Do you remember your ‘Yes Moment’ what drew you to the gown? How did you know it was the one?

It was everything I had always imagined when I thought of my wedding dress (my mum too). As soon as I tried it on there wasn’t really any contest and most importantly after I left the shop I had zero doubts about it.

What advice would you give to other brides when shopping for their dress? 

Try & relax and don’t overthink it. Also I think going the appointment with makeup and hair done in a way that you might have it for your day is really helpful when trying dresses on.

A note from all of us at Anna Bridal:

Ellen, you were an absolute vision from the very first moment you stepped into the boutique. Watching you fall in love with Estelle was such a special moment — it was the perfect match for your style, spirit, and that incredible venue. Seeing it all come to life on your wedding day has truly taken our breath away. Thank you for choosing us to be a part of your journey — we’re so honoured to have played a small part in such a magical chapter.

With all our love,
