We had the absolute pleasure of visiting Ophelia Bridal owned by Aoife O Broin, it’s based in Drogheda, County Louth.  It is one of the most spectacular bridal shops we’ve ever visited.  A beautiful room, decked out in old furniture and chandeliers.  On top of all that, Aoife has the most fab range of dresses.

Ophelia Bridal in Drogheda opened in January 2007. It is the lifelong dream of fashion designer Aoife O Broin. Having specialised in Bridal Wear at the Grafton Academy of Dress Design in Dublin, Aoife went on to work as a designer for the next 13 years. During this time she made bespoke dresses for private clients from her studio in Drogheda. It was always her ambition to open a bridal boutique and this finally came to fruition in 2007 when Ophelia Bridal opened its doors. Initially Aoife worked from her private studio but has since moved to a larger showroom on Laurence`s St in Drogheda. It is stocked with designs of a truly international flavour, Cymbeline and Mariees de Paris from Paris, Aire by Rosa Clara and Novia D`Art from Barcelona and Essense from Australia. Each gown is an exquisite example of opulence and design with vintage lace, silk crepe and crushed taffeta abound. The website shows just a selection of the gowns available. Aoife works on a one to one basis with each bride, helping her choose the right style and colour for that special day.
