Real Bride - Ciara in Cool Victoriana in The City!

WOW!!!!! 

These photos of our bride Ciara and her hubby Rowen absolutely blew us away!

It was so difficult to choose just a few to post, they were all amazing. Photographer, Caroline of Wild Things Wed has captured this beautiful and stylish pair at some pretty fab locations throughout Dublin. The pop of colour in many (including the brides hair) brings such a sense of fun.

The photography style of Wild Things Wed is right up our street. A little bit edgy, a little bit fun and a whole lot of cool.

Ciara's dress was a vintage, Victoriana style dress from the 1970's. We're absolutely crazy about her cute boots!

Congratulations to Ciara and Rowen on their recent wedding!

Real Bride Deirdre - Shimmering in a Champagne Gown

Our gorgeous bride, Deirdre chose an elegant, champagne, wedding gown that echoed the style of the 1940's for her recent wedding. She paired it with one of our bespoke, birdcage veils in a perfect shade of nude. We are in love with her whole look!

Real Bride: Kelly is the Cat's Meow!

SWOOOON!!!!!!These photos!!!

For her big day, pastel haired beauty, Kelly, chose one of our own designs: The Cat's Meow from our Papermoon Bridal collection. She totally rocked her unique look which had a modern twist on 1930's Old Hollywood glamour.
There's nothing we love more than seeing a bride staying true to her individual style for her wedding day and we're so proud that one of our Papermoon dresses was perfect for Kelly!
Thank you so much to Kelly for sending in her stunning pics by photographer Paula Gillespie.
Check out Paula's instagram and Facebook pages to see even more fabulous photos!

Congrats to Kelly and her new hubby!

Real Bride: L'Amour in a Town Hall

We practically swooned when Dirty Fabulous bride, Maëva sent us her photo.

She chose a beautiful, high neck vintage wedding gown and one of our pretty hairvines for her Irish/French wedding that took place in Brussels town hall.

Maëva and her new husband look totally romantic and dashing in equal measures.

I don't think she could have chosen a more perfect wedding dress for their special day!

Congratulations to you both!

Real Wedding - 1930's Goddess!

Gosh Darn it... Michelle looks mind-blowingly beautiful in one of our 1930's vintage wedding dresses, I mean come on!!! 

Her hair and make-up are pure perfection.

Like many 1930s wedding dresses this one originally had a higher neckline which Michelle had lowered and adapted the sheer lace panel on the back.

This could be my favourite vintage bridal look in quite a while... Thanks for sharing Michelle!

The Heathers

I adore how this shoot by Silke Photography conjures up feelings of wistful romance with it's dreamlike wilderness setting. Model, Violet has a real classic beauty that worked superbly with our vintage wedding dresses and accessories.

I'm a big fan of the blush and baby blue vintage headpiece she's wearing, it's one of my favourites in the shop! You'd also never know that the engagement ring worn in the shoot isn't the real thing. It's a 1920's costume ring but looks so beautiful who cares that they aren't diamonds!
