See all articles in Wedding Fairs

We had a fabulous weekend at The National Wedding Show, Olympia, handing out our Best of the Blog magazines and chatting to lovely brides-to-be! If you didn’t make it, don’t worry because we’ve rounded up some of our favourite bots from the day:

1. Creative stationery

Foto-fusion create bespoke stationery featuring a photograph of your choice! We love the idea of choosing pictures of you as kids for your invitations, and a thank you card with a lovely picture from the big day.

2. Alternative bouquets

Another favourite were these gorgeous alternative bouquets by Elegant Crystal Bouquets, they are perfect for the sparkle-loving bride. We love the beautiful details.

3. Rock n Roll Bride Collection

The Rock n Roll Bride collection was back with a bang, showcasing some of the most creative and innovative suppliers (our favourite was the candy floss by Candy Floss Creations!)

4. Square cakes

We saw a lot of square shaped cakes being displayed, we especially loved this one by Oh So Delicious – Cakes By Asha with such beautiful detailing.

5. First dance lessons

Next come the fantastic catwalk shows from the weekend. Before the catwalk, amazing Seen On Screen gave us a lesson in wowing your guests with your first dance (and with your twerking skills) which was great for getting everyone on their feet.

7. Catwalk shows

Then came the show, we absolutely loved the dresses that featured (especially that one with the gorgeous heart shaped back!)
