Plus, Foley Photography, one of the wedding suppliers attending the fair are giving away an exclusive offer for anyone booking with them on the day.

Full terms and conditions can be found at the bottom of the blog post, or just speak to them at the wedding fair.

Earlier in the week you might have seen the beautiful illustrated wedding map created for our competition winner Myfanwy and Tom (I loved the mini Daschshunds!) – well today I have our other winners map to share. Alexandra from Pigeon & Quill, was moved by Shelia and Bruce’s story and wanted to offer them a wedding map as a gift.
Shelia and Bruce are getting married next May in Somerset – 10 years to the day after their first date! Shelia told me, “We were very touched and grateful that Alex decided to make us a map – she asked for so much information so that she could really create a map personal to us including key elements to give a ‘feel’ of what the day was about.”

Last week I shared details of the fabulous upcoming White Memoirs Vintage Wedding Fair that is being held in Manchester on Sunday 7th October 2012. Incredibly the 20 free tickets I had to giveaway went within the first few hours of the blog post going live, and today I’ve got even more goodies to share with you.
The wonderful White Memoirs exhibitors are contributing a host of fantastic prizes worth over £1,000 for one lucky bride to win! If the date is in your diary or you were thinking about buying yourself a ticket to this lovely wedding fair, then don’t miss this opportunity to win ALL of the following…yes, just one lucky bride will walk away with all of this…

What an incredible prize that is! If you’d like to enter the competition you’ll find details below of how to do so, and please have a read of the terms and conditions at the bottom of the page. The lucky winner will be announced at the White Memoirs Vintage Wedding Fair on Sunday 7th October 2012 – you must be present at the wedding fair.

I always love sharing a competition winner with you, and today is no exception. A couple of weeks ago I launched a fantastic competition to win an illustrated map of your wedding day events from new business Pigeon & Quill (website coming soon). There were loads of lovely entries for this competition, so a huge thank you to everyone who entered.
Alexandra, the illustrator behind Piegon & Quill has spent time reading through each entry and reading about your lovely wedding plans. I think she has found it really difficult to select just one winner (I know I would have struggled!) but she has made her decision…

Alexandra told me, “After careful consideration i have chosen Myfanwy and Tom! Myfanwy provided such clear imagery and there are lots of things in there that I’d love to draw. Her description instantly conjured up a very clear picture in my mind – the sausage dog, the sea, cider barrels, pottery hearts, a wedding tipi, Wales, textiles – it’s really different! I know exactly what to do with it and I hope that Myfanwy and Tom will love all of my ideas and that they will end up with a map they can cherish.”

Back in February I ran details of a competition from Bright Star Films to win a vintage inspired film of your wedding day – it was lovely to hear a couple of months ago that it was a reader of The Natural Wedding Company that won the competition.
A couple of weeks ago, Sinead and Kieran from Bright Star Films headed off to the Cotswolds to film Adeline and Andy’s wedding day, and I get to share with you today their wedding film…

I thought I would do a round-up of those exclusive offers left over from the birthday month that are finishing within the next week, plus a competition that you still have time to enter.

Hope everyone’s had a good start to the week and that you all had a lovely weekend. There’s lots to celebrate on the blog today, firstly the winner of the Kate Hamilton-Hunter Studio competition, and later today I’ll be sharing all the pretty pictures and details from The Natural Wedding Company’s 5th Birthday Party!
Kate had over 60 entries to choose a winner from and found it so hard to choose a winner, but there can only be one winner…
