A.B Ellie: A Bridal Jewelry Collection that Consists of Gold Earrings and Delicate Details
Because we focus our inventory and services on the bride it is important that we carry the right collection of gowns and accessories for every bridal style. Our current collection of wedding jewelry designers include Maria Elena Headpieces, Erin Cole, Paris by Debra Moreland, Girl and a Serious Dream, and now A.B. Ellie!
TBF Owners, Tali & Roberta, were looking for a different designer that stood out from all the rest and is different from what we have carried in our store now. Tali and Roberta discovered A.B. Ellie at Bridal Fashion Week in October 2018 at the One Fine Day Market. One Fine Day is a designer showcase exclusive for bridal buyers and media. American and International designers have a booth in the market and they are able to showcase and sell their collection to buyers. Tali and Roberta said they walked in to the market and instantly was drawn to A.B. Ellie. Below Tali shares her first impression of A.B Ellie.
“When Roberta & I walked into the A.B. Ellie booth were instantly wow’d by the collection and the designers. The collection is exactly what we were looking for. The pieces are on trend, bridal yet wearable for everyday, date night, or ladies night. Believe it or not, Roberta and I personally bought pieces at market too! While going through the collection, we made personal purchases and purchases for the store. We can’t wait for our brides and Winter Park locals to see these accessories, we know it’ll be a great addition to the area.” -Tali Gallo
I had the opportunity to interview and chat with the designer of A.B. Ellie, Ashley. She gave me the inside scoop on her collection and company.
An Interview with with the Designer from A.B.Ellie
Where is A.B Ellie located? St.Paul, Minnesota
How would you describe the A.B. Ellie collection? For the modern bride, seeking elegance with edge.
Who is the A.B. Ellie bride? She's undefined by the expected with an unwavering soul for her truths + her style.
How long have you been designing for your line? Why did you start designing? We launched about 8 years ago - after my sister chose her accessories before her gown as a defining part of her wedding day look. So many brides wear the same gown, accessories are an easy way to channel personality and make it your own.
I love how the A.B. Ellie collection is so versatile, a bride can easily wear her earrings and accessories day-to-day. Was this a goal of yours when creating the collection? There has been a new wave in bridal - finally a stage for the ultimate free-spirit, cool girl that allows her to feel confident wearing her style, whether it's "wedding expected" or not.
Do you have a personal favorite piece from your collection? Statement earrings [+ our rings] are my go to!
When a bride wants to re-wear her A.B.Ellie earrings or accessories, how would you recommend styling them? Still keep it special, don't downplay the fact that you wore these for your wedding - bring with on your honeymoon, style with a LBD every anniversary, etc..
