Many things inspired Hannah Ollichon in the creation of House of Ollichon Ltd, the first dress-less bridal collection offering brides and bridesmaids a range of luxury jumpsuits, playsuits and combos all handmade in England.
“I was so lucky to marry my lovely French husband twice. After a very simple ‘friends only’ registry office do followed by a big wedding in France, I had experienced both ends of the wedding spectrum.
“A big dress seemed too much fuss for Islington Town Hall but I still wanted something special (that wouldn’t add another line to our budget!). I had already spent a fortune on my gown for our main wedding, which I then ruined by dancing until 6am. I just wish I had changed so I could have gone even more bonkers on the dance floor and resold it afterwards.”
Hannah soon realised she wasn’t the only one facing these issues on her wedding day; Solange, Olivia and Amal all opted for something a little quirkier, the dress-less option.
However, alternatives to wedding dresses are limited, with mainly ‘break the bank’ designer options or high street items that simply don’t provide the special touches that brides desire and deserve. So House of Ollichon was born…
Not just bridal wear…
HoO creations are so versatile, you can team them with the right accessories to wear anywhere!
Simply the best…
Bringing her adopted French roots to the designs, Hannah has sourced beautiful French bridal lace from the famous Dentelle region in northern France and is proud that HoO uses quality European fabrics such as luxury Italian tissutos, English crepes and 100% silk organzas.
The best bit…
Every single HoO piece is made with a huge amount of love, care and experience right here by hand in England.
