One of the very greatest pleasures of being in the position I am as blogger, is that I get to use Love My Dress® as a platform to showcase amazing, British talent. Today I am so excited to be sharing details of a beautiful new collection with you, created by a lady who has been with me every step of the way throughout my past five years of my adventures in the land of weddings.
Vicky Rowe first came to my attention in 2008, as I was researching for my own wedding. I used to spend an unhealthy amount of time in online wedding forums, gaining inspiration and supplier details from other brides. To me, Vicky was this mesmerising character from the start – she had amazing stories to tell about how her Grandma used to perform for the Folies Bergère in the 20’s, and how her Grandma’s style had influenced her own love for the fashions and aesthetics of that period. She was also amongst those that helped the vintage scene explode a few years back – she was running a vintage china hire company, the first of it’s kind in the UK. She also had a fondness for fashioning 1920s style cloche hats and would wax lyrical aver her love of beaded flapper style frocks. It’s a look that heavily influenced her own wedding which features both on Love My Dress, and in my book, Style Me Vintage Weddings.
Needless to say, we connected pretty much instantly and have remained friends every since. Five years on, Vicky has harnessed her true life passions and talent in design to produce an exquisite collection full of beautifully beaded and intricately hand embellished dresses and headpieces, evocative of the 1920s and 30s, but with a with an updated, contemporary feel for today’s modern bride. And I think you’re going to love it.
Just so beautiful – the attention to detail on Vicky’s designs is outstanding, but then with an office located in such inspiring surroundings, it’s no wonder that Vicky’s mind is allowed to wander to places that allow her to create these exquisite pieces.
I love how Vicky talks about her journey of inspiration – this is what makes her and her brand so authentic for me.
Vicky Rowe gowns start at £2,500 and can be purchased directly through the Vicky Rowe website, or at one of Vicky’s exclusive stockists in London, Dublin and Madrid. Vicky currently ships her designs all over the world, with clients in New York, San Francisco, Denmark, Spain, Ireland, Quatar the Middle East, so it doesn’t matter where you are located, if you adore the style of these gowns, one of them could be yours.
