Real Wedding: Marina, Unique in Antique!

Edwardian wedding dresses are beautiful and quite rare but they are downright perfect for an alternative bride.

Gorgeous Dirty Fabulous bride, Marina, chose such a dress for her recent wedding to Frank that took place in Smock Alley.

The wonderful pictures by Ivana Patarcic capture the relaxed vibe of the day, one that was filled with love and laughter.

Both the bride and groom look pretty amazing and completely unique I might add! I loved how Marina paired her vintage dress with some cool Kate Spade brogues and that fabulous floral crown. We totally love her style!

Nothing makes us happier than when one of our brides features on One Fab Day so pop on over there for even more details of this special wedding!

A Wedding Dreams Are Made Of...

The title isn't something I say lightly, nor is it a throwaway comment based on some pretty pictures. Dirty Fabulous had the immense pleasure of attending Charlotte and Peter's wedding at L'Abbaye-Chateau de Camon in France and we can categorically say it was beyond wonderful!

Destination weddings can be exceedingly hard work to pull off; some guests mightn't be happy with the extra travel and expense but when they are done right boy are they worth it!

Charlotte and Peter chose L'Abbaye-Chateau de Camon as the location for their wedding after some extensive research. I couldn't imagine a more perfect setting. It was located near to Mirepoix, an easy area to get to after flying into Carcassone.

How dapper do the men in the bridal party look! They got their suits made by a tailor from Co. Monaghan.

Charlotte had some very specific wants for her wedding dress so Dirty Fabulous took it upon ourselves to find her the dress of her dreams. We knew this champagne silk and lace gown had Charlottes name all over it and I think we can all agree she looked astounding! The epitome of 1930's old Hollywood glamour.

Myself and Caroline in our vintage dresses and big sunnies (ooh fabulous French weather!)

Charlotte's sister was her bridesmaid on the day she wore a stunning sage green silk 1950's dress from Dirty Fabulous. The subtle tones are so romantic and feminine.

Don't you just adore the photography! Martin from The Picture Rooms came to France to capture this magical event and the evidence is in the variety of beautiful pictures. I really wish my wedding photos were this good!

In the end we danced the night away and came back the next day for games on the lawn and brunch. We had the most magnificent time and we are so grateful that Dirty Fabulous was a part of Charlotte and Peter's enchanting wedding in France.

To drool over the full collection of images from The Picture Rooms or have a read of what One Fab Day had to say about their wedding day!

Dazzling in baby blue!

Claire made our day when she chose something completely unique for her wedding.
She opted for a 1960's fully beaded, pale blue, column dress that looked incredible on her. The crystal head chain she chose from us added even more glamour.
This was a bridal look with the "wow!" factor.
Claire you rock!!!
Congrats to you and your new hubby

A Charming Bridal Inspiration Shoot!

This beautiful wedding inspiration shoot was featured recently on One Fab Day so head over to their amazing site for the full shoot by photographer Katya Koliban.

Rosedale House was the ideal setting for this romantic and feminine shoot (can I please go there just to soak up the darling atmosphere!).

The brides vintage lace dress, veil and cream floral headpiece were chosen from Dirty Fabulous to compliment the dreamy setting.

To showcase the headpieces and reflect the vintage charm of the shoot the wonderful Claire Barry kept the hair loose and gentle.

And my word the flowers and cakes... STUNNING!
