Eco Chic Wedding and Home Show 2009

Yesterday The Natural Wedding Company had its first official outing at the UK’s first Eco Chic Wedding and Home Show.  It was held at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens and featured around 30 businesses.  It was a fantastic day and was lovely to meet the other exhibitors and to chat to people who were planning their weddings.

Our stand at the Eco Chic Wedding and Home Show

One of my best friend’s – Maria – came along to help me, and when we finally arrived (we spent twenty minutes and four junctions too many on one motorway as we were chatting too much) we had a great time setting up our table.  The flowers on our table were from Blossom florist in Manchester, they were all English grown – a mixture of narcissi, fresia, tulips, greenery and twiggy bits.  The lovely snowflakes (very similar to snowdrops) were also from Blossom.

It was quite an exciting moment for me, more than four year’s dreaming and hard work finally came together with a beautifully printed business postcard and a stand at a wedding show.  I met some great people exhibiting at the show, some that I knew of, and some that I didn’t – those that I hadn’t heard of will be shortly added to the directory.
