Jen chose all her suppliers with care and attention. Many I know well and have previously worked with. The florist they chose was Rebecca from Floral Deco (I admire all of her creations and have worked with her on several occasions). Jen and her bridesmaids had a mix of opulent colours in vintage, in season blooms.

As well as the 3 tier Butter cream ruffled cake, with the super cute ginger bread bride and groom (styled of course to represent the happy couple themselves), I provided a little gingerbread man for each guest as a wedding favour. To compliment the yummy cake and favours, Eloise of Gracella Occasion provided a gorgeous sweetie table for all the guest.

 To dance the night away they chose a personal favourite of mine, Just Ben. Hes charming, funny and a great singer to boot.

Jennifer and Ben’s special day is also over on Save The Dates ‘I thee wed’ blog feature, where Jen talks about her special day in her own words.

Many other suppliers were involved in making Jen and Ben’s day magical in as many ways possible:

Excited is a slight understatement for how I feel about exhibiting at this years Designer Vintage Bridal Show…. eeeeeeeeeekkkkkkk is probably more like it. The show will be full of like minded suppliers, sharing our passion for all things vintage and pretty.

The day is filled with interactive work shops, catwalk shows and there is a room dedicated to the most popular bridal bloggers. When you feel like you need a breather from all the fabulousness, there will be an exciting new take on an afternoon tea room. As if it needs to be more prefect, it is set in the beautiful grounds of Hagley Hall.

There is an interview with me on the blog, along with a full list of exhibitors and a very easy click and pay for advance tickets. If you would like to take advantage of special rate tickets £5 instead of advance price of £8…… huge saving compared to the £12 on the door cost. Worth every penny.

The National Wedding Show was better than ever before! Combining over 250 handpicked exhibitors and the UK’s largest collection of wedding dresses under one roof, the show offered everything you  need for your big day. From stunning cakes to show stopping flowers and beautiful venues to bespoke dresses there was something for every bride and every budget. I was at the NEC Birmingham 16-18th March 2012, in the brand new vintage area. Here are a few images from the day… I am exhibiting again in the Autumn. October 5th-7th.  Book you tickets over at National Wedding Show.
