Hannah Elizabeth Bridal
The background story
I first came across Hannah Elizabeth Bridal due to being local and was immediately struck by how stunning the boutique and its gowns were. It was everything a bride dreams of when shopping for her wedding dress - luxurious, modern and oh so chic. But their online presence didn’t reflect the boutique’s true essence. The social content lacked the personality and warmth that defined the experience in-store, and their messaging didn’t quite align with the calibre of the dresses they offered.
They had just brought in a remarkable, high-end designer brand, a moment that deserved to be a turning point. But their existing digital agency, while well-meaning, had no wedding industry experience. The tone of voice, visuals and copy they were producing didn’t speak to brides in the way they were searching, dreaming, and deciding. At the same time, the boutique was beginning a natural transition towards attracting brides who valued a more elevated, luxury experience. This wasn’t about excluding anyone but about ensuring the brand reflected the true beauty of the gowns and the experience Hannah offered.
Hannah herself was juggling everything: running the boutique, caring for her brides, and raising a young family. She wanted to focus her time on what she did best, creating unforgettable experiences in person, and needed someone to shape and carry the digital vision with care.
What we did
We began by taking over their SEO and paid advertising strategy, ensuring Hannah Elizabeth Bridal could finally be found by the brides they truly wanted to reach. Rather than casting the net too wide, we focused on elevating the messaging to speak directly to the right bride, someone who valued luxury designers and the intimate, personal experience the boutique offered. We ran structured A/B testing on both ad creatives and messaging, using these insights to continually refine how we spoke to and engaged with their audience.
The website became a key part of this transformation. We redesigned and managed it with a sharper focus on user experience, ensuring brides could discover and understand the dresses in the same thoughtful way they would in person. We wanted the online journey to mirror the feeling of stepping through the boutique’s door — beautiful, calm, and curated. By structuring the website around how brides actually research and shop, we created a seamless path from inspiration to appointment.
To further elevate the client journey, we implemented a new booking system that gave brides a smoother, more intuitive way to secure appointments. We created branded and automated follow-up emails, texts, and messaging that mirrored Hannah’s warm, personal touch, ensuring every interaction felt consistent with the in-boutique experience. Digital materials such as beautifully designed lookbooks and “What to Expect at Your Appointment” guides gave brides a sense of ease and excitement before they even stepped through the door. These were complemented by printed flyers and handouts that extended the brand’s elegance offline.
We also began coordinating styled shoots both inside and outside the boutique. These shoots were designed with strategy at their core. We selected and liaised with models, guided them to embody the brand’s personality, and led the creative direction to align with the boutique’s evolving identity. Every shoot was filmed and edited to produce a suite of ad-first and social-first assets, giving us a bank of content to test, optimise, and use across multiple campaigns.
Data became central to every decision. Insights from ads, social performance, and on-site behaviour shaped our creative direction, messaging and targeting strategy. We used these findings not only to enhance marketing activity but also to provide Hannah with valuable business intelligence, helping to ensure the boutique was consistently attracting and booking the right brides.
As the partnership grew, we took over organic social media to bring the Hannah Elizabeth Bridal brand to life online. By shifting away from overly polished, static content provided by the designer, we focused on personality, warmth, and short-form video, filmed both within the boutique and at wedding venues, to ensure our content felt personal, fun and grabbed the attention of the dream bride.
Finally, we also layered in a complete email and event strategy. Regular newsletters kept brides engaged and inspired, while carefully planned trunk shows, sample sales, and new designer launches became standout moments. We planned and ran these campaigns from start to finish. Each event was supported by strategic promotion to drive buzz and deliver fully booked bride lists. Together, these elements created a seamless ecosystem where digital storytelling, in-person experience, and operational systems worked hand in hand to reflect the true elegance of Hannah Elizabeth Bridal.
The results
This strategic shift allowed Hannah Elizabeth Bridal to step into its true identity. Rather than chasing volume, we were now attracting the right brides - those seeking a premium, personal, and meaningful experience. The number of appointments grew, but more importantly the brides walking through the door were investing in luxury gowns that truly reflected the boutique’s positioning.
Brand visibility and engagement grew significantly, with the boutique carving out a standout presence in the online bridal space. Hundreds of new brides discovered Hannah Elizabeth Bridal through search, ads, and social, falling in love with what the brand genuinely represented.
Eventually, Hannah made the heartfelt decision to close the boutique to welcome her second baby and embrace a new chapter of life. But the transformation during our time together is something we’ll always be proud of, a reminder of what happens when a beautiful brand finally looks and sounds as special as it truly is.
