The National Wedding Show is the perfect place for brides who are seeking the latest trends in the wedding industry. We had a fantastic time discovering the new and innovative ideas which were being showcased. From 3D photo booths to jam jar cocktails - check out our favourite finds from this year's Show.

Jam Jar Cocktails - A simple yet creative idea which enables couples to create a personalised wedding cocktail, presented in jam jars. Brides can choose between 3-5 different cocktail flavours produced by the company. Once chosen, Etched get to work on designing a personal wedding design for the jam jars. We got to sample the gorgeous vodka cocktail infused with raspberry and kiwi fruit, which was delicious!

Bohemian Jewellery Tattoos - Our stand was positioned next door to the lovely Bohemian Jewellery Tattoos. From the elegant white bridal collection to the beautiful metallic body art range - we loved this innovative idea which would be a fab addition to the jewellery box. If you are going for a Bohemian wedding day look then the bridal collection would look fantastic with a backless dress. These tattoos are also a great option for hen parties, festivals or gifts.

Everything's better in 3D - A unique reconstruction of the photo booth, Event Cam 360 showcased their 3D photo booth to passers by. A new way to capture those special moments with friends and family. The booth is set up with a multi camera system which enables the EventCam360 to create a unique 3D image. The images can then be displayed on all media devices such as mobile phones and laptops.

Paper Flowers - Flower walls were a huge trend last year which took the wedding industry by storm. We were impressed with Paper Flower Wedding who produce delicate paper flowers for all occasions. Whether you're wanting a paper flower bouquet, archway or flower wall - there are so many options to choose from. We love the endless options for creativity behind paper flowers and the fact that you can keep them forever! Perfect.

Fairytale Bridal Couture - There is no words to describe the timeless beauty behind Ruth Milliam's elegant and breathtaking wedding dresses. Having already fell in love with Ruth's accessory collection, we couldn't contain our excitement when we saw that she had branched into dresses. All her gowns are hand sewn, offering a highly personal and bespoke wedding service. From feathers and sequins to petals and lace - every dress is decadent and unique in every way. We were lucky enough to be able to steal Ruth to answer a few questions about life as a designer and get an insight into the inspiration behind her collection.
