Why Lily Francis Bridal Love Supporting UK Designers

At Lily Francis Bridal, we know that every bride deserves a dress that reflects her unique style and personality. British bridal designers aren't as well-known in the mainstream, but there are so many amazing UK bridal designers, and we've been committed to supporting since opening.

Celebrating Local Talent

Supporting UK designers means valuing local talent and craftsmanship. The UK bridal fashion scene is filled with exceptionally talented designers who invest time and effort into their creations. We love being able to talk to our brides about the very people who designed their gown, and it means so much to us as a business to know them. They're real people living in London, Birmingham and Ely!

Bespoke Options

What makes Lily Francis Bridal truly special is our commitment to offering bespoke options for brides. Many UK designers give you the freedom to customise your gown. Whether you want to adjust the neckline or add buttons or lace, the possibilities are nearly limitless. By personalising your dress, you ensure it reflects your style. Imagine walking down the aisle in a gown crafted just for you. We've altered things such as adding splits, lengthening trains, adding glitter and changing the colour. The perfect way to make your dress your own.

UK Service

If you want to customise your gown, most of the time, I can WhatsApp one of our designers right there and then during your appointment, with photos and asking questions, and they reply instantly! No having to wait for an email to get to the right person, no checking time zones to ring. Instant and efficient support. Additionally, delivery times from our UK designers is much quicker, with the average about 12 weeks, with some offering a rush cut in just three weeks!
