About
ELLA MAY
I love to work closely with brides, fusing my style with theirs and bringing a vision to life. That creative process, built together is for me the most fulfilling experience - and I can assure anyone they will love it too.
In all my designs, I channel a powerful femininity and thread hints of nature’s ethereal elegance.
I don’t believe a wedding dress should be worn once and then left to gather dust in a cupboard. A timeless piece should be worn many times. So, after your wedding, if you want, we can adjust your design, shorten, refit, or even dye it, so you can wear it again and again.

THE ORLAYA
Influenced by The Orlaya “white lace” flower, this all-in-one design uses a flowing lace fabric, distinguished by dainty sleeves and a defined open back.
When it comes to The Design stage of your journey with Ella May London, you can see a sample of The Orlaya and decide which of its elements and materials you’d like in your bespoke dress.

REVIEWS
"I had a very clear vision of what I wanted my dress to look like, but couldn't find it anywhere. Ella May made it come to life, with even more magic! On the day, I felt and looked like me. The Olivia design encompassed who I am as a person with my style and character evident in the tiny details and the overall look. By working with Ella May, she made the impossible possible. Ella May was gracious, professional and so kind during the entire process, and I loved working with her on the most important outfit I'll ever wear!"
OLIVIA
"Choosing what to wear for your wedding day feels like a big decision, and of course it is, but it should hopefully bring you joy too. This is what Ella May brings to the process. Yes, she is stylish, and calm, and thoughtful, and has a brilliant eye and creative brain, but truly it is the joy she brought to every message, email and meeting, that made designing my dress with her so special. It was the best experience I could have asked for, and I am so grateful to her for that. She created a dress that was so utterly me and that I felt completely myself in."

"Having Ella May design my dress was a dream come true she made the whole process so easy, fun, and stress-free. Ella May truly cared about every single detail – she wanted me not to only feel perfect on my big day, but also to enjoy the lead-up to it. I looked forward to every appointment I had with her and am sad I didn’t get to see her for more fittings!"

Anything is possible with her - she totally got the vision and brought it to life, whilst also adding some beautiful finishing touches. My dress was exactly what I had hoped for. From the fabric to the style, I just loved it. The whole experience was so easy, relaxing and fun. I will also definitely be wearing it again!! 1000/10, could not recommend using Ella May more."

"We had so much fun together brainstorming fabrics and cuts along with little bespoke elements such as the 'bee' buttons that make the dress totally unique. Ella May guided me and gave me confidence, and together we created a dress that I shall treasure forever and made me feel a million dollars to dance the night away!"
