A Very Vintage Bride






We see a lot of our brides wedding photos, but this was the first time that I've seen one recreate their relatives wedding day photo.
It's just so effective!
Elaine looks absolutely gorgeous in her Dirty Fabulous 1950's lace and taffeta wedding dress which was teamed with one of our bespoke headpieces.
Don't the pics just ooze retro glamour!
Congratulations to Elaine and her new hubby
