Mela Mela Party Invite

Gorgeous 1950's Layered White Lace Wedding Dress. £275 at Mela Mela.

If you are planning the perfect vintage wedding or just adore your vintage clothing then Veil & Train have an important invitation to pass on this weekend.

The super cool vintage retailer Mela Mela in Teddington (Middlesex UK) are celebrating not only their 2nd anniversary but also their brand new website launch by hosting an in store party on Saturday 12th June from 4-9pm.

The only party requirement is to dress your vintage best and stand a chance of winning a super great prize on the night for the best outfit. But do not be sad if your outfit comes a tear jerkingly close second, guests can also take advantage of an exclusive 10% discount off their first purchase as well as a real olden days type raffle (after the vicar has had his tea and victoria sponge of course!).

Knowing the guys at Mela Mela (ever so slightly embarassed because we’ve not been in the shop for a while now) the whole event could not possibly pass off without mention of their favorite charity Fara – in support of which an original Christain Dior coat will be auctioned off to the highest bidder. Nice one Mel.

For the uninitiated: the clothes rails are a feast for the eyes stocked with an bewildering array of 50’s cocktail dresses, wedding dresses, prom dresses, skirts and tops. There are beautiful silk organzas, romantic roses, purple prints, huge polka dots and wonderful big bows a-plenty here.

Above eye level the shelves contain a prized collection of very chic and elegant hats that complement the array of outfits and accessories displayed below.The antique manequins used to show off the hats are equally as interesting as the hats themselfs.

Mela Mela is definitely one step closer to utter fabulousness. If your wedding has a vintage theme and you are looking for high quality then you are going to enjoy this piece of retro heaven. A real touch of class.
