In Love Photography in Dirty Fabulous!

The lovely Wim, from In Love Photography called in to see us recently to take photos of our bridal boutique and to find out more about Dirty Fabulous.

Wim did a great feature on us on his blog, which is super. 

Our paths had crossed several times before this. In Love Photography have shot our wedding dresses in inspirational and real bride shoots.

Wim is currently in France on another photoshoot  in which the model will be wearing one of our 1940's wedding gowns. We can't wait to see the results!

Until then have a look at the first time a Dirty Fabulous dress appeared with In Love Photography

Real Bride Sarah - Tea Length in Tulle!

How adorable does Dirty Fabulous bride, Sarah and her new hubby look!

Sarah chose one of our 1950's style, tulle and lace, tea length wedding dresses for her special day. For the finishing touch she added a large bespoke rhinestone comb and birdcage veil from Dirty Fabulous.

Total vintage glam!

Congrats to Sarah and her new hubby.

Taking our colour inspiration from Summer Flowers!

Is there anything more pretty than summer flowers?

We've taken our inspiration form some gorgeous bouquet images to showcase the array of fabulous colours currently in stock.

These tones are absolute perfection for summer events like weddings, parties and debs!

Vintage Cardis: The Summer Wardrobe Must Have!

As we enjoy some deliciously warm weather in May we can hopefully look forward to even more great weather in the coming months.

Here in Ireland, our summer climate tends to be a little (ahem...) unpredictable. We just might not get the high temperatures that other countries experience so extra coverage may be needed!

It's not exactly cold enough for a jacket but our shoulders can feel the chill.

So... what to wear?

Why, a vintage cardigan of course! 

These woollen beauties are the perfect solution. Each one is unique, with their own beading and embroidery. They can be worn dressed up to a special occasion or draped over your shoulders with a white t-shirt and skinny jeans/Capri pants for a more casual look.

They are my go-to item for Summer!

Be inspired by these original vintage photos below and then check out the vintage cardigans we currently have in stock in store.
