About
ELLA MAY
Ella May London creates bespoke wedding dresses designed as a true extension of the bride. Each dress is crafted around the individual, bringing together her favourite elements of style and detail to create something entirely personal.
Designed from my Notting Hill Gate studio, every dress is sketched live with the bride and evolves through a series of fittings, allowing the design to be draped, refined, and shaped directly on her. The process is relaxed, collaborative, and supportive - built on trust, instinct, and craftsmanship.
With a background in couture, my approach combines precision and timeless construction with versatility. Many designs feature interchangeable elements and can be adapted after the wedding - dyed, shortened, or reworked, so they can be worn and loved again!

REVIEWS
"I knew my dream wedding dress would never be something I simply found on a hanger...and that’s when I discovered Ella May. I can’t put into words how much I adored my dress (and I was very particular!) Ella May totally brought my vision to life, from finding beautiful, bespoke fabrics & putting all the pieces together - I honestly can't thank her enough!"
GEORGIA
"Ella May pulled together the vision I was after, and she was always incredibly patient and optimistic in the face of my indecisiveness. She kept injecting creativity right up until a few weeks before to add such beautiful details to the dress and cape.
The final dress, cape and veil were so stunning and elegant, I wish I could wear them all again! "
SOPHIA
"From designing the dress on paper, to choosing the materials together, and through the many fittings, the process was my favourite part of planning my wedding.
The dress was everything I hoped for and more, and I cannot thank Ella May enough."
LOTTE
"I can’t recommend Ella May more! From start to finish, she was so attentive and patient -no question or request was too big. When we first met, I had lots of ideas but had never designed anything myself before, and she helped bring the vision to life so effortlessly. I had been to a few weddings where she had made the bride’s dress, and I remember thinking that each one was truly a work of art."
LARA
"Being a very good friend, it was such a fun process, but she was also super professional and managed to steer me in the right direction for what she knew I was going to love — while also bringing my vision to life.
She somehow managed to decipher all my scattered thoughts and turn them into something that felt completely me."
ISABELLA
"From the moment I met Ella May, everything changed. She brought so much warmth, calm, and clarity to the process, and I instantly felt I was in safe hands.
Ella May took the time to truly understand my vision and worked hard to bring it to life. Her creativity and dedication were incredible, especially as I made a few changes along the way-most notably to the main detail of the dress, which I wanted to be unique and in a fabric I couldn’t put into words."
ELISE
"Each wedding dress has its own language, and Ella May’s gift is being able to understand that language within moments. She has this rare talent for creating something that feels completely bespoke and truly personal to you."
MARA
"After trying on several dresses, the moment I saw the Orlaya on Ella May’s website, I knew I had found exactly what I was searching for. Ella May was incredibly clever in transforming this dress into a bespoke piece for me."
ISSY
"I feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to design my dress with Ella May. The process was full of fun from start to finish, with Ella May offering space for me to voice any ideas, but also providing guidance to ensure the dress was comfortable with a cohesive design. Thank you for the dress of my dreams!"
JEMIMA
"The entire experience from start to finish was truly incredible. I live abroad and was flying in for fittings. Ella May was so accommodating, always working around my tight schedule with great flexibility. From visiting the fabric shop together to the final fitting, every step felt special and seamless."
