Now stocked in Frilly Frocks, Drogheda!

Kingston Design is delighted to announce that it is now being stocked in Frilly Frocks, Drogheda! I visited Frilly's on Tuesday and met the lovely Dara who has an amazing selection of wedding dresses that made me wish I was getting married again! The store has a nice balance between the traditional style and design of dress such as the Pronovias range and then there's also a fantastic selection of vintage inspired dresses such as Luci Di Belli and Geisha Designs. Dara also is fortunate to stock dresses that are exclusive to her store so brides can be sure of getting that 'wow' factor.

I was in Heaven looking at all the beautiful corded lace and beaded detailing, so, so pretty! What I liked about the vintage-look dresses is their quiet sense of drama, even though they don't have the big, traditional wedding dress silhoutte, they just ooze sexy glamour and reminded me of the kind of dresses worn by 1920s -30s Hollywood starlets!

Feathers and lace headpiece

Looking through the Monique L'Huillier Fall 2010 collection I saw that the headpieces used were very similar in shape to a Kingston Design comb called Feathers and Lace. This comb is based on a 'pad' of feathers which is layered up with corded lace and then accented with Swarovski crystals and pearls and also some really pretty genuine vintage 1950s gold glass pearls. The whole effect is really soft, feminine and pretty. It lends itself quite well to the vintage 1930s style but also looks great as a statement piece with more modern styled bridal dresses.
