1930s–style lace wedding dress 'Angel' for Vintage Bride of the Week, Rosemary.

Dear Reader, 
I have another gorgeous vintage bride to show you today. Meet Rosemary...

For her summer wedding, Rosemary wore 'Angel', the 1930s–inspired lace wedding dress from my Heavenly Collection.

With its flutter sleeves and deep v back, Angel is such a romantic dress. It perfectly suited Rosemary's graceful beauty. And we made it in a very special lace too...

This time we used the 'English net' style of lace – so pretty with its delicate trellises of flowers and bows. And as with most of our laces, it's an original 1930s design. It is remade exclusively for my Heavenly Collection, by its original Nottingham fine lace–makers.

Ros and her lovely mother Alison were a delight to work with – a charming and very stylish family. I loved the combination of jewel tones they chose for the bridesmaids' dresses, and for both Ros' and groom Vivek's families.

Original 1950s wedding dress, for vintage bride Kasia.

Dear Reader,
I have another stunning vintage bride to show you today – Kasia, in a wonderful original 1950s wedding dress…






Kasia married George in the beautiful, classical surroundings of Chateau de Saint–Loup–Lamaire...




The dress was a perfect choice for the occasion – delicate and so feminine (with a touch of Grace Kelly too) but formal enough to fit such a grand venue. And of course, beautiful Kasia looks wonderful in it.







In Kasia's own words… 
"Thank you again for your help in picking out my wedding dress. It was such a delight to wear on the day. So many people were saying how beautiful it was."





Beautiful setting. Beautiful day. But most of all, a beautiful bride and a beautiful vintage 1950s wedding dress!
Love
