“We are leading the bridal industry with a new concept,” says Ellie. “Many brides look online for their wedding dress shortlist inspiration, and being able to see the dresses actually move and flow makes that process so much easier. The feedback has been amazing!”

In addition to the videos, which cover creations from designers such as Jenny Packham, Sassi Holford, Suzanne Neville and Alan Hannah, light box images of each dress can be enlarged to focus on key details, and the website even recommends accessories to complement each dress.

The fashion-forward videos were shot in the beautiful orangery of the iconic Blenheim Palace and were shot using models with dress sizes 10 – 14. “The model selection process was extremely important as we wanted real brides to be able to connect with the dresses being shown in the videos, hence why I made the decision to use real-sized models,” adds Ellie.
