Rita Ora teases new single with bridesmaids in vintage wedding dress - shop similar looks

Rita Ora looked incredible in a 1987 vintage YSL gown and matching veil in an Instagram post to promote her new single, You Only Love Me (coming out January 27, 2023).

The singer, who married Taika Waititi in August, said on her latest Instagram post: “I would like to cordially invite you to celebrate the big day with me… or is it?" This was followed by a bridal emoji before she continued with the words: “This Friday, January 27 at 1pm GMT.”

In the post, she tagged A-list stars such as Chelsea Handler, Lindsay Lohan, Addison Rae, Jodie Smith and Kristen Stewart, who all appeared to be offering their congratulations and apologising for not being there. All will be revealed tomorrow…

Rita’s YSL 1987 wedding dress was sourced by Cherie Balch of Shrimpton Couture. On their website, Cherie reveals that “Shrimpton Couture was born as a result of being an obsessive girl who wanted it all and wanted everything to be beautiful and perfect and found by trial and error that the best way to find that was through vintage.”

If you are getting married and are looking for vintage wedding dress inspiration, take a look at the Ashwell & Co site, who are based in Bristol and Newport.

After the founder Kate couldn’t find what she was looking for when it came to her own wedding, along with husband Will, she founded Ashwell & Co in July 2014. As well as offering bridal dresses, it is also possible to enjoy an afternoon tea at their boutiques.

This beautiful ‘1980s does 1950s’ handmade tea length lace dress is £795 and is available in store.

Another company to look at is Real Green Dress, established by Erica in 2012. Erica had previously worked in conservation with national museums, but had always had a love of vintage. These dresses are both from her Evolution range, which are unique remodelled gowns created with vintage fabrics.

Echoing Rita Ora's vintage wedding dress, comedian Jack Whitehall's sister Molly got married in 2020 wearing a stunning vintage dress from William Vintage.

The £375 dress was available for rent on By Rotation, a fashion rental app, allowing it 'to continue life as a wedding dress and hopefully bring other people as much joy as she did to me', says Molly Whitehall.
