DAYS OF GRACE - BEAUTIFUL HEIRLOOM VINTAGE GOWNS & ACCESSORIES

We're thrilled to have Linda and Stephen Duriez from Days of Grace joining us again this year.  Specialising in genuine vintage bridal gowns from the turn of the century to the 1970's, plus their own vintage inspired designs, their stand is a treasure trove for vintage loving brides or anyone who wants to own a beautiful genuine vintage gown or headdress.

With a reputation as one of the foremost vintage bridal suppliers, this last year has seen an increase in both the stock and the national recognition of Days of Grace, with mentions in last spring's Vogue Magazine, as well as countless big name blogs.

A visit to this amazing shop, situated in Budleigh Salterton, just a stone's throw from the beach, is a MUST, so we consider ourselves incredibly lucky to have them bringing so many of their beautiful pieces to the Fair!

Linda says "It's such a perfect showcase and full of exquisite, creative individuals that are so inspiring and are the best in their range.

There'll be lots and lots of lace dresses from every era - 1920's beaded numbers, delectable headdresses and fine veils and those one of a kind antique heirloom pieces we are known for that make a visit to Bristol Vintage a wedding fair like no other!"

Days of Grace Vintage

Vintage lace dress designer, Linda Duriez, is returning to our Bristol Vintage Wedding Fair again this March, and she’s bringing more goodies from her treasure store. 

Unique lace gowns will share rail space with original period pieces and new designers inspired by archive styling. Add to this headwear, antique lace and gossamer fine tulle veils and accessories…

You'll want to come prepared to try on and find that dress you've been looking for.

Days of Grace Vintage also have a limited collection of exquisite lace and jewel embellished shoes by Diane Hassall - the perfect finishing touch and at very special prices on the day.

So whether you’re looking for something vintage or vintage-inspired, perhaps even vintage re-created, Linda will be at our Fair with some beautiful dresses to showcase from both her shops, Days of Grace Vintage in Budleigh Salterton and Pirouette in Exeter (by appointment only).  There’s something for everyone, but you’ll have to be quick as there’s only one of each gorgeous dress.

For delicate gowns, beautiful veils, handmade jewellery and tiaras... make sure you don’t miss Days of Grace Vintage on March 10^th! 

Days of Grace Vintage

Days of Grace is the place for beautiful vintage style dresses and stunning accessories.  These one-off designs are made from antique lace and vintage textiles and are perfect for country, barefoot on the beach or beautiful summer picnic style weddings.  They’re totally romantic dresses with a boho edge and each original ranges from the late 1800's right through to the 1980's. 

At Days of Grace you’ll see exquisite beadwork, beautiful draping fabrics and laces.  Alongside the wedding gowns in the back room there are medieval style hand woven silk bodices from the 1980s.  There’s brand new fine lace and slipper satins from sourced designers with a vintage inspired twist, always unusual and completely unrepeatable. Owner Linda Duriez finds these discontinued gems from designer archives and brings them to life, each totally unique, such as her current Jenny Packham 30s inspired pieces.  A visit to Days of Grace Vintage is a delight because you never know just what treasures might have been added to their collection and with these often hidden away in store, it’s always best to ring ahead to let them know exactly what you’re looking for.

A click onto the website lets you sample some of the vintage and retro pieces available or you can find their treasure trove of a shop at 15 Fore Street, Budleigh Salterton [although they recommend you book an appointment in advance, to avoid disappointment].  You can also find their sister shop Pirouette in Exeter and online.  Based in a 16^th century merchant’s house in the old West Quarter, you can explore the very different designers showcased including Maggie Sottero, Sottero & Midgley and Annasul Y. New designers arrived recently include Amanda Wakely and Yolan Cris. A wedding gown specialist, the Pirouette range is forever changing.  Think delicate gowns, beautiful veils, hand made jewellery and tiaras. 

Whether you’re looking for something vintage or vintage-inspired, perhaps even vintage re-created, Linda will be at our fair with some beautiful dresses to showcase from both shops.  There’s something for everyone, but you’ll have to be quick as there’s only one of each gorgeous dress.
