ITV's Downton Abbey has been an enormous success — and with the last episode having just gained 10m viewers, many will mourn its loss from the Sunday evening schedule — but fear not. We've just previewed Ellis bridal's 2011 collection and we're delighted to see Edwardian bridal dresses designed to allow an arousal of Edwardian art nouveau style that even the Grantham family would envy!

Evoke amazing art nouveau style with a Downton Abbey feel and a roaring Edwardian warmth, with Ellis Bridal’s new collection.

The range — named The London Collection 2011 — encompasses the skill and creativity which has earned Ellis Bridal such a prestigious reputation, and features a level of detail of which any affluent Edwardian bride would be proud. Bridal dresses within the collection are intricately designed to fit each and every bride perfectly; special hidden constructions and a built in corset pulls in the waist and flattens the stomach, making each gown feel individually tailored.

The 2011 collection has been designed for the style conscious modern day bride: “London has always been home to glamour and sophistication.” Said Ellis Bridal’s head designer. “As a London based company for almost 100 years, we take great inspiration from this diverse and stylish city.”

“The London Collection includes light chiffon bridal dresses with detailing in the form of hand-beaded art deco crystals and pearls. Metal taffetas are skilfully twisted and manipulated to create dramatic dresses finished with delicate beading and contrasting sashes. Luxury silks are cut and fitted to create a clean and elegant silhouette. A beautifully constructed boned corset, wrapped in dreamy tulle, and encrusted with Swarovski crystals, create a modern and feminine look.”

The bridal dresses retail from between £500 and £1500 and you can be certain that each one conforms to the highest of expectations. The collection will be available from the beginning of December.

Bridal dresses from the collection include this beautiful A-Line dress with an eye-catching contrasting black bow, and this gorgeous gown with pleated bodice and crystallised detailing running through the straps and along the bust.

Also from the new collection is this stunning beaded A-line gown, which is elegantly gathered at the side with a trio of delicate roses.
