Original pieces
The VintageWedding Dress Company was created by
stylist Charlie Brear for brides who would love to wear
something completely original but don’t have the
time, the energy or the faintest idea where to start.
‘I wanted to take the trepidation and hard work out
of finding a unique dress,’ says Charlie, who sources
exquisite pieces from across the world. The company
holds a rare and diverse selection of gorgeous
gowns and accessories from the Victorian era right
through to the early 1970s – all beautifully cleaned
and restored and ready to be tailored for you to a
couture finish.
