Your Berks, Bucks & Oxon Wedding - Jun/Jul 2019 (Issue 77)

70 E L L I E S A ND E R SON We offer a private one-to-one appointment for each and every client. We insist on a two-hour consultation for the first appointment, and I can assure you this will whiz by. We only sell the UK’s best designers and a handful of very exclusive labels from across the world. Each is picked for its brilliance, and I am crazy about only selling dresses that are not run of the mill; all of them are special. Where they are made and how they are made is a big deal for me, so you can rest assured that provenance is covered too. Our hand-picked collection starts at £1,750 and goes up to £3,500, with the average being about £2,200. They are made in the most exquisite fabrics, many exclusive but all very special. From Suzanne Neville, who dresses celebrities, to Sassi Holford, who dresses society brides, we have it covered. We have also just introduced Kelly Faetanini, a new designer who is exclusive to us in the UK – her dresses are what bridal dreams are made of. Twelve years of experience has taught us that the brides who limit the size of their bride tribe when looking for their dress are the most successful. Too many opinions can spoil your special moment and cause a heap of stress. As wedding dresses are luxury clothing items and made to order, they do take longer than buying online – considerably so. You are measured, the dress is ordered then delivered and it is fitted to you perfectly. All in all, it takes anything from five to eight months, so leave plenty of time. We have a new online booking system that can be used 24/7, so what are you waiting for? Visit elliesanderson.co.uk to find out more.
