Caroline with the lovely ladies!

I have to say we had a really fantastic time at our first Vintage Bridal evening in the new Dirty Fabulous. It was a fantastic turn out and hopefully all of our lovely guests took inspiration from all involved.

The Bridal Lounge provided themed boards for some of our dresses from the 1930's, 50's and 60's. Aoife from The Bridal Lounge and Ellie O'Carroll from Elle's Belles were dolling up our guests with super pretty, mini-vintage make-overs.

Deirdre Hynes, also from The Bridal lounge, was on hand to discuss imaginative ideas for 'The Big Day' and share her talents with our guests.

The gorgeous flowers were from www.rubyandbloom.ie

I baked some homemade gingerbread cookies and The Bridal Lounge supplied yummy mince pies which we served on vintage tiered cake plates from www.meauldchina.com

Stunning!!!

We then proceeded to get a little merry with hot spiced apple punch by yours truly, and, a Christmas cocktail of Champagne, Grand Marnier and cranberries, courtesy of The Bridal Lounge.

White Tea photography were there to capture all the fun and frolics of the evening. (Loving their work by the way, check it out!)

All in all it was a fabulous evening that I hope everyone enjoyed. We hope all our brides to be were inspired by the creative team involved!

Ideas For Your Inner Stepford Wifeyness!

The Gorgeous Paula & Tille modelling Daisy Star Aprons

Daisy Star in Shebeen Chic

Loving the colour combinations!

I actually have this one!

If like me you're fond of cooking up a storm in the kitchen but you've just come home from work and you've forgotten to take off your office wear/vintage guna... YOU NEED ONE OF THESE!!!

I don't mind admitting that I'm a very messy puppy when i cook (why must tomato sauce land on my front when I'm standing 4ft away at the sink?) having tormented myself with destroying many a perfectly clean outfit it is now ingrained in my head...put on your Apron!!! These beauties are gorgeous and completely handmade in beautiful fabrics.

Now I look perfectly immaculate when my hubby returns from a hard days work... except for the piece of uncooked spaghetti sticking out of my quiff...

Also available for your little arty, baking mini-me's

Available from www.daisystar.net

Great name!

Super pretty

With my apron & one of these I could concoct the perfect afternoon tea!

Once you've thrown the flour, baking powder & icing sugar around with wild abandon , whip of your Apron, breath a sigh of delight that your outfit is spotless and then place your butterfly cupcakes on one of these

I just love this new venture from Me Auld China

http://www.meauldchina.com

This is such a fabulous idea using matching and mis-matched vintage crockery to create beautiful tired cake-plates.

Me Auld China also hire out cake plates for special occassions and weddings...they even offer to Pimp Your Plate!

Both these amazing new venutres will be displaying at different markets in Dublin in the next few weeks, check out their websites for details.

And remember...Christmas is sneaking up, start planning early
