Ellen Wise Couture

So this review is a long time coming. I started working with Ellen in June 2021- after a long search trying to find the perfect wedding gown , I had just about given up when I ran across Ellen’s website. I was browsing her work and found a dress I absolutely fell in love with. I reached out and the rest, is as we say, history. Ellen set up a time and I went to visit her at her studio. Her and I hit it off immediately and I just knew I had to have her make my gown. Seeing her samples in person , everything was of the highest quality and wonderfully beautiful and delicate,

Fast forward a year, and I was married in July of 2022, my gown turned out beautiful ( delicate, light, airy and of the best quality) and I feel as if I’ve made a friend for life. If you are looking for the perfect gown (hand made and to your exact measurements and wants) , I can not recommend Ellen enough,

Ellen made my wedding dress, and it turned out more perfectly than I could have imagined! I was unsure of exactly what I was looking for, but Ellen discerningly reviewed my smorgasbord of inspirational photos and helped me come up with my dream design. She also provided a number of fabric samples for me to choose from, all of which were much higher quality than those I'd seen at the bridal studios.

We had in-person fittings at Ellen's studio throughout the process to discuss and perfect every detail (I kept changing my mind, and she was so patient!) Ellen also ensured that the dress didn't just fit perfectly, but that it was comfortable and functional too- she engineered some clever elements such as an adjustable waist-stay and adjustable straps that allowed me to adjust the fit of the dress throughout the night.

Finally, Ellen designed removable capelets that I wore during the ceremony and photos. I had seen this kind of cape online, but none of the bridal boutiques I went to sold them. It was such a cool alternative to a veil, and I'm so glad Ellen could make it happen!

I'm so glad I worked with Ellen to make my dream dress come to life!
