After creating her own wedding dress for her 2010 Ibiza wedding, British Knitwear designer Rebecca Cella was inundated with bridal requests and consequently launched her exquisite Bridal collection featuring Rebecca’s stunning signature hand-made fabrics.

The exclusive and innovative fabrics sculpt the body beautifully creating an elegant, graceful yet sexy silhoutte. The body skimming fabrics are knitted from the finest, most luxurious of yarns which are embellished with clusters of glossy, antique silver and platinum sequins, shimmering shells or twinkling swarovski crystal that drip to the floor in a breathtaking fishtail.

Bridal consultations can be made at Rebecca’s London based studio or in the comfort of your own home. You will be able to build your dream dress with Rebecca, either choosing a design from the collection and adapting it to suit your requirements, taking inspiration from her vast array of exclusive fabrics, or from a dress in mind that you would like Rebecca to interpret. The possibilities are endless. Rebecca will then design and make every part of your dress from the casting on the first row of yarn to stitching the last mother of
pearl sequin.
