Bag a bridal bargain at the Oxfambridal Extravaganza
Oxfambridal is calling all brides-to-be and fashionistas to a fun filled bridal fashion show in Dublin’s Fallon & Byrne on the 25th February to showcase the extensive range of wedding gowns on sale in their store.
RTE’s Off the Rail’s stylist Brendan Courtney will be the host on the evening and on hand to give lots of styling tips. Other fashion highlights include a showcase of vintage clothes also on sale in Oxfam’s Georges Street shop. After the show, the fun will continue with a sale of bridal accessories including shoes, tiaras and veils and there will be a raffle for some super prizes.
Samantha McGarry, Oxfambridal shop manager said “We are really excited about this opportunity to show the fantastic range of gowns and bargains on offer in Oxfambridal”. Samantha went on to stress that “all money raised from Oxfambridal and all goods at our store goes to fund our overseas programme work in Africa, in countries such as Malawi and Uganda.”
Located on the second floor of Oxfam’s George’s Street store; Oxfambridal, Oxfam Ireland’s dedicated bridal boutique stocks hundreds of gowns from a wide range of designers including Vera Wang, David Brides, Rosetta Nicolini, Amanda Wyatt and White1.
