Don’t forget to get your tickets to The Designer Vintage Bridal Show in Birmingham on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th October 2011. There will be some fantastic suppliers of vintage and vintage inspired wedding goodness – from gowns to photographers and stationers. In addition to all that, there are fashion shows planned and afternoon tea to enjoy.
Tickets cost £8 in advance from here, or £12 on the door. If you’re going in a group – perhaps with your bridesmaids – they are doing a fab offer a fourth free ticket when you buy three. Full details on the website www.designervintagebridal.co.uk.
What an incredible day yesterday was! Exhausting, but great fun and really worthwhile. Mr Rigg and I were up at 7am packing the car and heading off to Harrogate for The Vintage Wedding Fair.
There was a great buzz when we arrived with lots of gorgeous women in pretty vintage outfits with stunning hair styles. Everyone was busy bringing in boxes and fussing over their stands. We set up our stall – I was delighted with how it looked…but our camera almost died and continues to die, so the photos are all a bit fuzzy which is a shame.
Charlie Ryrie, who I met recently, who runs The Real Cut Flower Garden sent me a stunning vintage style bouquet of her flowers and some sweet buttonholes to display on my table. They arrived on Saturday morning carefully packaged in a tall box and cushioned with tissue paper and dried hops.
I am so excited to find out that I will be having a stall at the fabulous Vintage Wedding Fair that is being held in Harrogate on Sunday 19th September.
There will 50 specialist exhibitors and vintage dealers, including over 600 vintage wedding dresses, headdresses, hats, a vintage themed caterer and a vintage hair and make-up expert.
The Vintage Wedding Fair is taking place at the St George Hotel in Harrogate on Sunday 19th September from 11.30am – 5pm. Entry costs just £2.
On June 13th 2010, Ireland’s first Vintage Bridal Fair will be held in Belfast. Featuring around 35-40 exhibitors the fair will showcase traditional and alternative vintage wedding gowns, special occasion dresses, accessories and jewellery.
