About Elise Designs

Elise Designs is a bespoke bridal studio based in York. Unlike many bridal shops, we don’t just sell wedding dresses. Instead, we offer a unique experience, working with you from dress conception and design, right through to final fitting.

 Being trusted to create your special dress is an honour, and we take that honour very seriously. Every embellishment, every bead, every stitch is placed with care and attention, ensuring your dress is everything you dreamed it would be.

The Elise Experience

We aim to make your experience as enjoyable as possible and create a one-of-a-kind, bespoke wedding dress that you will love. We work closely with you to plan and design every detail from the style and shape to the fabric and finish.

You’ll have several fittings as your dream dress comes together to ensure you are happy at every stage. Tweaks and alterations are part of the process, and our skilled dressmakers are dedicated to ensuring the perfect look, fit and feel.

Inspiration

Whatever your taste, style, shape or size, we can create a wedding dress that’s as unique as you, making you feel extra special on your big day. Browse our collection to see some of our beautiful bespoke bridal wear and get inspired.

The great thing about bespoke design is that you don’t have to compromise. If you love the neckline of one dress but prefer the train on another, we can design something that incorporates both, creating the perfect dress for your look.
