6 very different ways to wear lace on your wedding day!

We've a big obsession with lace! It's super pretty yet very versatile and when we wear it, gosh darn it we feel like a lady! There are so many different ways to bring lace to your bridal look that we've highlighted a few key ideas. So whether you want to wear head-to-toe lace or just a smidge for the romance; take your inspiration from our Dirty Fabulous collection.

1. A lace cape.

This is a really beautiful way to introduce a little bit of lace with the added bonus of some shoulder coverage... Yay! 

2. The lace gown

This 1950's cream and ivory lace gown is a thing of beauty. The sleeves alone are a wonder and one of the hottest bridal trends at the minute.

3. The lace headpiece

If you only want a hint of lace for that touch of nostalgic glamour then a bespoke or vintage lace headpiece is just what you need. Subtle yet stunning! 

4. Lace Trim

You don't need to go overboard to create an air of girlish romance. Many vintage wedding dresses are decorated with pretty lace trims. This 1950s tea length bridal dress is enhanced with lace ribbon in stripes on the bodice. 

 5. The lace crop top.
This is one trend that's set to stay with us and it's a personal fav. We have lace crop tops in all sizes and oodles of variations. Each more beautiful than the next. Demure and chic, need we say more!

6. Embroidered lace

If you have a hankering for lace but you're just not a girly-girl then this is an excellent option. Heavy embroidered lace fabrics were common in the 1960's and 70's. The fabric is more structured and less delicate but incredible none the less.

If anything here has piqued your interest just get in touch. We're here to help and would love to arrange your next bridal appointment with us!

A look back at The Glitter Studio... It was sparkletastic!

Where you lucky enough to visit The Glitter Studio on the 17th or 18th of October? 

One Fab Day put on a pretty spectacular event. From the moment you walked into the CHQ building you knew it was an all together different kind of bridal event.

The decoration and styling were as gorgeous as you would expect from one of the leading bridal inspiration resources. Just imagine themes such as pop, rustic and glamour and you'll get a feel for what was on offer.

In case you missed it I took a million pics to share with you to give you an over all feel. Add to these images some free flowing bubbles, fun, frolics and some of the best vendors Ireland has to offer and that would just about sum up The Glitter Studio.
