EntertainmentOccasion/CelebrationFamilyNostalgia

Brides from every corner of Ireland dust off their dresses and tell us the story of the gown and the era in which it was worn. We are introduced to wedding dresses and brides representing over 70 years of Irish society, each with a very special story to tell. Each episode will tell the story of two different dresses mixing generations and social groups across Ireland, each story a warm and compelling look at real-life Irish tails of family, friendship and love all told through the dresses, the places and the people that united our couples.
