Dirty Fabulous Fashion Show at the Silver Springs Moran Hotel, Cork.

1960s lace and organza prom dress which will feature in the fashion show

Dirty Fabulous will headline a fashion show this weekend at a very special wedding event in the Silver Springs Moran Hotel, Cork.
The big night takes place on the evening of Friday October 4th and super stylist and fashion writer, Annemarie O'Connor will MC on the night.

The whole night is a celebration of 50 years of memorable weddings with the hotel taking a trip down memory lane.
This look back on 50 years will highlight the changing fashions, traditions and wedding food. 

From meringue dresses to lemon meringue for dessert, the walls of the Silver Springs Moran Hotel have been witness to all the changing trends over the last five decades!

We love that this is something different for potential bride and grooms to attend...this is not your regular wedding fair!
Dirty Fabulous is super excited to be involved and can't recommend the night enough! If you are near Cork you simply must go!!!

An exhibition of wedding memorabilia over the past 50 years will also feature so let the nostalgia take over!

Guests can enjoy music on the night and light refreshments which will include a delicious tasting of some of the very best wedding food trends over the last five decades.

To top it all off will be a magnificent five tier wedding cake with each tier representing a different decade. 

This whole walk down memory lane is completely free, but you do need to register to attend. To do so, just call 021 450 7533
