Love Blossoms as rock star marries
Stockport Express
|June 18, 2025
IT WAS a gorgeous Peak District wedding for Blossoms rock star Joe Donovan as he tied the knot with his fashionista love Sophia Rosemary Barrese at the weekend.
The Stockport stars headed into the hills for their vintage style wedding in Hayfield, Derbyshire.
They were joined by family and friends as well as Joe's Blossoms bandmates for the occasion.
Sophia is the owner of vintage shop Top of the Town Vintage in Stockport's Underbanks, and so naturally her dresses on the day were inspired by her love for retro fashion.
She was hailed a “woodland princess” by guests, wearing a floral garland and her hair styled in loose waves.
She wore two vintage dresses on the day, one a 1970s Christina Stambolian gown and then later changing into a 1969 lace Biba wedding dress.
Meanwhile Blossoms drummer Joe continued the vintage theme in a retro beige flared suit.
