Founded in 1997, Elbeth Gillis is internationally known for her bridal and evening couture. As the head of her world-class brand, Elbeth embodies the same virtues that her brides find in her dresses – style, charm and uncompromising class.

Every Elbeth Gillis bridal gown is made in-house by a small, highly skilled team, using luxurious fabrics sourced from around the world. Rooted in the principles of slow fashion, our process values intentional design, minimal waste, and long-lasting quality. Each gown is created with care, meaning, and precision designed to transcend fleeting trends and become timeless.

At our Cape Town atelier, brides are invited to explore Elbeth Gillis’ signature collections and discover the gown that speaks to them. Each dress is crafted to measure for a flawless fit, with the option to customise details or, for something truly unique, commission a bespoke design.

Individuality is at the heart of every Elbeth Gillis creation. For the bride who seeks a bespoke wedding gown that feels uniquely them, Elbeth will bring your vision to life. From nuanced design changes to one-of-a-kind creations, bespoke gowns are tailored to reflect personal style and self-expression – gowns as unique as the women who wear them.

Elbeth Gillis’ artistry reaches international brides wherever they say “I do.” Her distinctive collections can be found at leading bridal boutiques across the UK, Ireland, Germany, and Australia.

From time to time, these boutiques host designer weekends and trunk shows, offering brides the rare opportunity to meet Elbeth in person and experience her creative vision firsthand.
