Weddings are a magical occasion where couples celebrate their love and commitment to each other with their family and friends. One of the most exciting parts of planning a wedding is finding the perfect dress.

Celtic Fusion Design is a Irish designer brand that specialises in creating wedding dresses that are inspired by Celtic and medieval styles with elements of fairytale and goddess styles too. Many of our designs incorporate elements of Celtic Symbolism with embroidery, and use quality fabrics like cotton and jute which are natural and unbleached. These dresses have a light cotton lining to create a breathable but sturdy structure. Elegant statement sleeves, beautiful necklines and corset back wedding dresses are amongst our favourite features in creating a truly unique and magical look.

Fairytale Wedding Accessories

A Wedding Cape can be a useful additional accessory while keeping with the fairytale vibe for cold mornings and evenings or as a modest church covering. The cape features a hood, draping gently over the shoulders. The cape is very light weight, perfect for a magical and elegant look beautifully styled draping or held gently in your hands as you walk and make a beautiful entrance! This cape is made from the same natural off-white cotton lace as the wedding dress creating a perfect match that can be easily taken on or off. This is fastened with either the cotton string ties at the neckline or a brass tree of life brooch which is supplied with the cape.

Tiaras

Tiaras are an easy addition to any dress to add a bit more to the fairytale wedding styling. Celtic Fusion have brass or white metal tiaras with moonstone details. The sizing is easily adjusted with many loop options and a similar closure to a necklace with a lobster claw clasp.

Flower Crown Headdress

Embrace the etheral beauty of a timeless flower crown. With its whimsical charm and ethereal allure, flower crowns have captivated hearts for centuries, transcending from cultures and generations. Flower crowns are not merely accessories; they are symbols of nature's beauty. Crafted by intertwining delicate blooms and foliage, they bring the vibrancy of a blossoming garden to our heads. Each flower, carefully selected for its colour, fragrance, and symbolic meaning, adds depth to the crown's significance. From romantic roses symbolising love to vibrant daisies representing purity, flower crowns become personal expressions of beauty and emotion.   Part of the allure of flower crowns lies in their handmade nature, lovingly assembled by hand, each crown is a unique work of art. The process of selecting and arranging flowers encourages a connection with nature, invoking a sense of mindfulness and creativity.  Flower crowns offer a canvas for self-expression. They allow us to showcase our individuality, embodying our personal style and spirit. Some prefer lush and vibrant blooms, while others opt for a delicate and understated aesthetic. Whether we wear them as a statement piece or as a subtle accessory, flower crowns reflect our inner beauty and remind us to embrace our authentic selves.
