Vintage Wedding shoot in the Summer

Posted on 28/12/2015 by Abigail | Comments Off

We were asked to lend a vintage wedding dress to the team up at Peak Tipis over the Summer (Summer?!) for a shoot they were organising to promote their rather wonderful tipis. The images have turned up all over the place, which is rather nice.

The second window of Christmas

Posted on 18/12/2015 by Abigail | Comments Off

We are guilty of getting a little bit carried away with our Christmas windows, but we just love showing off our vintage wedding dresses. So here it is, the second window of Christmas in our Fairy Tale theme: Cinderella.

The window looks lovely in the daytime but really dramatic at night.

It turns out you can’t get real pumpkins in December…

Yes, all those crystals on the heel were hand applied!

Window win!

Well second, but we had the whole of the High Street up against us. Massive thanks to Oakham in Bloom who have really made retailers up their game in the run up to Christmas the last couple of years.

Our Christmas Window

If you’ve got this far you will have noticed by now that we have been rather busy recently on our new website, which explains the radio silence of late. We think it was worth waiting for.

However, normal AVB business has continued too and with it being December we have out up the first of our Christmas windows (the judging by Oakham in Bloom is this weekend so fingers crossed!). Our self-imposed theme this year is Fairy Stories and we’ve started with Snow White. The Evil Queen’s dress is up there with our all-time favourites, and though we can understand why it is still in the collection as it would take hutzpah to wear it, we would love to see it go down the aisle: you don’t see many 1930s Silver Lamé dresses, let alone with sleeves as glorious as this!
