After an exciting weekend of national wedding shows, as well as one of our own, we've come up with a quick post-show round-up of some of our favourite picks from The National Wedding Show at the NEC, Birmingham. This vast show is perfect for getting inspired and enjoying a girly day out with your bridesmaids!  Just in case you missed it, here are our top picks:

We were pretty jealous of all the girls coming past our stand with gorgeous glittery faces, so went to investigate! Wish Upon a Sparkle were giving faces (and beards!) sparkly makeovers - a great way to give your wedding celebrations a fun, festival-like feel.

If you want to give your wedding cake a more personal feel, we can't think of a much better way than this. Create realistic models of yourselves for cake toppers to give your guests a giggle - and you can save them after the big event as a memento of your day.

VIP Events Hire

If you're planning an outdoor wedding, or are bringing in your own food and drinks suppliers, a mobile bar is a great idea. For an on-trend option, go for one of these fabulous custom converted vans.

And finally, for those looking for a real wow-factor, we love this amazing "sky meadows". A unique, magical meadow of flowers, right above your heads.
