A Vintage Inspired Wedding Dress For A London Lighthouse Wedding

Good evening my loves!  I really must apologise, this feature should have been up way, way before now, but you know sometimes, no matter how damned hard you try, real life gets in the way and technology conspires against you. So, apologies for this late blog post today.  But better late than never, right?

I’ve actually been in London since Saturday, so it felt only fitting today that I feature a London wedding today.

Matt and Kristen got married on 22nd September at Trinity Buoy Wharf – London’s only lighthouse.  Their wedding is one of those cool, relaxed, London vibe style celebrations which really resonates with me, particularly so because Kirsten wore such an elegant wedding dress from Charlie Brear (formerly The Vintage Wedding Dress Company), chosen because it was simple and classic and not a ‘too big’ wedding dress’…

“We met through a friend. Got engaged at new year – after a drunken
proposal from me (Kristen)! This was about 20 months before the wedding
day.”
