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: 50's style delight!



Our gorgeous bride Brona (on right) looked incredible when she tied the know with Su.
She chose a new, vintage style wedding gown from our collection which is actually full length. 
Brona then had the tulle skirt shortened to a fun, tea length which suited her perfectly.
Their recent wedding featured in The Times, how exciting!
Congratulations to both beautiful brides!
