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

Italian Chic!

Naoimh and her new husband recently got married in Italy and I think you'll agree that her Dirty Fabulous vintage Ivory and lace brocade column wedding gown teamed with lace bolero looked stunning on her.

Congratulations to you both from Dirty Fabulous!
