This morning, I told you how I'm going to be blogging this weekend about some of the brilliant vintage wedding fairs that have been taking place. Earlier today, I blogged about Mrs Scoops and Little G's vintage Wedding Fair, and now it's the turn of the Vintage Bride Designer Sale.
The Vintage Bride Designer Sale took place on 25th March at One Marylebone in London, and my lovely friend Naomi Kenton was there to capture it all on camera.
Sadly I don't have any roving reporter write up, but these images speak for themselves and beautifully showcase the work of some fabulous suppliers who were exhibiting. Again, I encourage you to click through to their sites to learn more about them.
Below right there? Possibly the most beautiful pair of gold wedding shoes ever in the world…
