Spectacular Vintage Wedding Dresses

We recently showcased our latest vintage bridal wear collection at Trinity City Hotels bridal brunch.

We had such a fabulous day at this lovely, unique hotel. The models for the fashion show were from Catwalk Models and they were soooooo amazing! These ladies really knew how to rock our vintage wedding dresses!

We styled 4 very different sets of looks to cater for everything from city weddings, fun and informal to the full blown works. In case you didn't make it on the day, we managed to get loads of snaps to share with you...enjoy!!!

An Afternoon of Vintage Fashion in House, Leeson Street... ooh!

There's no doubt about it, if you take yourself out to any of the events in the Dublin Burlesque Festival this year then you're in for a treat.

For their night time events you can be guaranteed a raucous, surprising, sassy, hilarious and fabulous evening. 

But the Dublin Burlesque Festival likes to take things down a notch on Sunday Afternoon with their annual Afternoon Tea and Vintage Fashion Show.

While away a few decadent hours in glamour, perusing vintage fashion from the 1930's to 1950's. 

Dirty Fabulous will be one of the boutiques pulling out all the stops to excite and exhilarate the audience!

The afternoon tea will be held in a personal favourite haunt:

House on Leeson Street.

Sit back, relax and listen to the dulcet tones of Miss Truly Divine as the lovely models in with their vintage hair and make-up pass you by.

Can you think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon? We can't! See you there and don't forget to immerse yourself in the whole event and wear your vintage glad-rags!

Doors open at 1pm and the show starts at 2pm.
