Every piece is exquisitely made, combined with a mix of original vintage and a modern influence, to create an individual but beautifully styled wedding day look. At Luella’s the team strive for finding eye catching and sensational dresses that are perfect for a bride wanting a timeless yet original feel to their wedding day.  Dealing with independent and exclusive designers means we can provide stylish brides with something really unique!  I fall in love with all of the dresses on our rails, but my favourites of the moment have to be ~

 Ava by Rose & Delilah

A beautifully simple crepe satin dress, every lace detail has been carefully thought out, from sweet little cap sleeves to a charming piece on the train. A detachable cowl back also makes a subtle but luxurious change from day to night!

Sabine by Gwendolynne

Meticulously hand beaded, a captivating dress that is a real show stopper! Pearl button beads and an elegant open back held with an ornate metal clasp.

Sienna by Karen Willis Holmes

A softer style wedding dress with a stunning button back and pretty lace top. The delicate gathering on the chiffon skirt gives a flattering definition to the waist combined with a long train an ethereal feel to a classic look.

Cecile – Charlotte Casadejus

A glamourously silky oyster satin that skims over the body oozing vintage elegance and style.

Camille by Sally Eagle

A more relaxed take on a wedding look, this charming piece is perfect for a summer wedding with beautiful lace finished with a dainty scalloped edge

And my top piece of wedding advice?

When trying on wedding dresses, don’t overcomplicate and worry about remembering them all because you won’t be able to forget the one that is perfect for you.
