All about Papermoon Bridal by Dirty Fabulous

At the end of last year we launched our limited edition range of vintage style wedding dresses.
These 8 vintage inspired gowns have been lovingly designed by Caroline and I.  
Taking inspiration from some of the most beautiful vintage gowns we've encountered over the years of our vintage obsession we worked to create gowns our customers would adore.  
Our capsule collection is called Papermoon by Dirty Fabulous.

The Sweetie Darling
For all the sultry sirens channelling their inner startlet.  This 1930's style gown is begging to be sashayed in.  The rose gold beaded collar adds a luxe touch to a dress that is all about hugging the curves. 


 The Cherry Pie
A cupcake of a cutie! Taking it's inspiration from one of the very first 1950's prom dresses we had in store, which became one of their most asked after dresses. The blush colour and soft tulle pleating bring the bridal style stakes to a whole new level! 
The incredible cake in the image was created by Cathy's Bakes and Cakes

 The Dollface
We've taken the very best features of some of our most stunning 1950's tea length dresses and combined them to create a timeless and classic dress that's sure to delight. It even has pockets! 

The Cat's Meow
A champagne beauty the most wonderful aspects of the coveted gowns worn by old Hollywood movie stars. The low back, looped rhinestone encrusted shoulder straps and draped bias cut skirt make this a show-stopper!  

 The Holly Go Lightly
One of our most popular designs! The full lace skirt is reminiscent of the fabulous, fun dresses worn by Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly. We've added a removable tulle shawl collar to create the perfect neckline.

A little bit 50's, a little bit modern and a whole lot of fun!!!





Lisa sent us a lovely email a little while back with these gorgeous pics. Her wedding was a small, intimate affair with their two children and close family and friends. We helped Lisa pick a 50's style bridal prom dress with a full circle dress and then she had a tailor from home alter the top. Together they created a gorgeous lace illusion top and added some buttons.
She wore a pair of blue shoes that she bought the day she said "yes" ( wasn't that so sweet!)

All the special little touches that bring warmth and personality to a wedding were all handmade from the brooch bouquet, bunting, dried flowers and favours.
It was important to Lisa and her hubby to keep the wedding fun for their two young children with an added touch of vintage glamour for all the big people to enjoy!!!

Congrats you lovely pair!
