So having got engaged between Christmas and New year I saw this as a perfect opportunity to have a girls day out with my mum! She came up to London and we went to the Wedding Fair in the Excel!
It was interesting to say the least, we went along on the Saturday, hoping to have our minds filled with inspiration and new ideas. The morning was so busy we found the show very un inspiring and chaotic, not what we expected at all. Slightly disappointed, we decided to grab some lunch, and then go back into the show with fresh eyes and head to the catwalk. The afternoon was so much more interesting mainly, because the show itself had quietened down and we were able to walk around the show properly. The catwalk was great fun and we got some good Wedding Dress inspiration.
A few things I am going to look into next time is, what stall holders will be at the exhibition ( the wedding fair seemed to have lots of teeth whitening, facial products and skin care), and what do I need to get out of going to the Exhibition. All in all we had a good day out, but think we will re-think what wedding fairs we go to before heading to one again.
So my top tip is: Do your research!

I felt the same when I went to some wedding fairs, although I didn’t go to the really big ones like the Excel one. The wedding fairs I went to were held at wedding venues where local suppliers attended. I enjoyed walking around and meeting some local photographers, MUAs, florists etc; But strangely I didn’t book a single supplier I met at a wedding fair… not sure why

Oh good to know! I thought more local ones might be better. I guess there’s so much inspiration online now, the fairs themselves aren’t necessarily needed! Glad you like the post though!
