Dear Reader,

this amazing 80s beaded knee length wedding dress is a real showstopper.

It’s a beautiful dress, and I always knew it would take a special bride to wear it and truly make it her own…

The moment Joanna tried it on, she was obviously the one!

Super-stylish taxidermist Jo married web designer Aki in Bristol, in a wedding she describes as “kind of 60s mod / Dusty Springfield goes wild in Morocco”.

From the Moroccan themed venue, to the seashell-clad cake, to the entertainment provided by Bristol Ukelele Club (of which Jo is a founder member), two belly dancers and a magician, the whole day was a quirky and individual success!

As Jo says,

“There is absolutely nothing I would change about our wedding. And I love my dress so much I’ve already worn it again to a party at the Lord Mayor of London’s house!”

What a super-cool vintage bride! If you’d like to see more of Jo and Aki’s gorgeous photos, their wedding also featured in RocknRollBride.

I also have a very similar dress in a beautiful shade of blush pink/nude in stock at the moment, do email me and come and try it on.

Love
