Every modern bride has lots of style choices to make about her wedding that she will carry with her and cherish for the rest of her life. Many brides will find that their mother is not only supportive throughout organising the wedding, but is also a trusted style advisor when it comes to the decorations, and most importantly – the dress! What better way to honour your supportive and loving (and most importantly free!) wedding planner than by finding a look for your mother that is sunning in its own right whilst also complementing your Ellis Bridals wedding dress? With over 50 years atelier experience from the design house behind Ellis Bridals, meet occasionwear brand John Charles!
John Charles creates timeless looks that employ a signature John Charles’ silhouette that is flattering and endlessly sophisticated. Any Mother of the Bride wearing John Charles would instantly command the room without stealing focus from the star – the bride. John Charles’ new range comes in a variety of subtle pastel tones that will effortlessly blend with a chosen colour scheme and are just begging to be matched with Ellis Bridals wedding gowns! Ellis Bridals fashion stylists have paired up some of the strongest Ellis Bridals wedding dresses with some strong yet sophisticated John Charles looks for a formidable mother-daughter style impact.

Lace is More!
Lace has been dominating wedding styles for hundreds of years now – and with good reason! Ellis Bridals stylists have picked out one of our favourites, the intricacy and elegant detailing in this dress is simply enchanting. Delicate embroidery on the illusion bodice is finished by a skirt crafted of multiple layers of soft tulle embellished in coordinated coloured embroidery. We’ve found a John Charles style that would offset this look beautifully. It is crafted in jacquard and lace, the half-sleeve illusion neckline is subtly decorated in tonal sequins. Thread lace details throughout the day with your bouquet binding and lace head bands for your bridesmaids.
