Chester sisters Hollie Elizabeth Henderson and Hannah Louise Dymond have realised the ambition of a lifetime by launching their own family-run bridal boutique in the city.

Their boutique Elizabeth Louise is now open in Rufus Court offering a wide range of hand-picked gowns by excellent designers including Nicole Spose, Ti Adora and White One.

Hollie, 23, of Upton, Chester, said: “This is a dream we’ve had since we were little girls. We’re not just sisters, we’re best friends – an ideal business partnership.

“We share a passion for providing perfect gowns and want to ensure every bride has a unique and unforgettable experience when choosing one of the most important aspects of their special day.”

Quaint courtyard

Sister Hannah, 22, from Newton, Chester, said: “We were delighted when space became available in Rufus Court. It’s a quaint courtyard surrounded by a selection of independent businesses – hair stylists, beauty salons, a fashion designer, bars and restaurants – all of which complement our boutique.”

The sisters have been supported in their exciting new venture by family and close friends who have helped develop the warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Hannah said: “We know we are young to be starting a business but with such tremendous support we are certain we have a bright future ahead of us.”
