The Goddess Room - Vintage at the Cutting Edge of Fashion
By Karen Birney
As you have probably gathered already, we are HUGE fans of all that is true vintage and are known to pine over the intricate embroidery, lavish laces, striking structures and the delicate beading of often one-off, hand-made, pre-70s pieces. We are also aware that the words 'vintage' and 'couture' are a tad overused when it comes to bridal fashion and style (two very different concepts.) Except, unmistakably, when it comes to The Goddess Room.
"The aim of the Goddess Room," says owner Marie Therese Duggan, "is to seek out stylish, classic, one-off vintage wedding gowns for the contemporary bride at a reasonable price. The quality of the fabrics, usually silks satins and laces are exquisite and of far superior quality than those available to most brides today...I love the workmanship and craft displayed in each and every gown."
If the thoughts of 20s Chanel is a little intimidating to some fair weathered fashionistas, remember that vintage couture is not just for the ultra-fashionable. “Any bride can find a dress to suit them,” says Marie. “Vintage clothing is a winner for all body shapes because the clothes were made to flatter the female form, it was the first and most essential job a garment had to do.”
If you fall in love with a gown that doesn’t hug you in all the right places however, don’t fret, Marie offers a couture service and designs to your personal specifications.
Prices for gowns at The Goddess Room range from €350 to €3,500.
The Goddess Room's latest video Vintage at the Cutting Edge of Fashion showcases their latest evening, bridal and day wear. Check it out below.

Amazing Vintage: The Goddess Room, Greystones
Vintage has always scared me a bit. I love the idea of it, but I just have trouble seeing how it can work for the average bride. That was until some very lovely wedding peeps told me about The Goddess Room in Greystones. One look at their web site and I was sold. I feel like I could easily go vintage if it was as accessible as the Goddess Room makes it. I mean...just look at these amazing couture dresses.

Vintage Glamour
This wedding flawlessly marries each detail to their vintage theme. The bride is the best part (the shoes and lips are to die for!), but I have to say that the table numbers is a close second.

Vintage
This is such a great idea. You can get vintage plates at any antique store , and instantly dress up any table. This would be perfect for the wedding at home. I also love that they don't match (as finding over 100 matching plates could be problematic)...
