Truth be told, I'd been feeling a little anxious about this weekend, not least because I have this really irritating, incessant cough right now, the residue of a horrible chest infection {that appears to have gotten much better after a good nights sleep last night!}, but putting the ailments to one side, on Friday evening, Phil and I braved {all 200 miles of} it down to the Midlands, so that we could join other suppliers, and indeed bloggers, at the wedding-now Show at Edgbaston Cricket Ground yesterday - where we are also exhibiting today too.
I had intended to wrote up an official blog post on the show sometime next week, but I realised as I returned home yesterday evening evening, that that post just couldn't wait.

I met a lot of people today, had a lot of conversations, laughed a lot, felt happy, but most importantly, I left the venue yesterday feeling an immense sense of pride and that my role in this community/industry is really valued by my colleagues and wedding industry friends.
cheap evening dress, cheap evening dresses,
I've been to many a wedding fair in my time, but for me, The wedding-nowShow represents all that is exciting and forward thinking, genuinely creative and cutting edge in this wedding industry. And what I love about the exhbitors is that they are all real, honest, down to earth lovely kind of folk.
Forget stuffy shows where exhibitors are packed tightly next to one another in uniform and rather dull exhibiting kiosks. Forget boring goody bags or an uninspiring atmosphere. Think a walk-in yurt lit romantically with magical fairy lights and an inviting host welcoming you inside with chocolate and champagne. Think five of the UK's top wedding bloggers, each of them passionate about meeting and chatting with their readers at the show, think divine table displays by one of the UK's most cutting edge event styling teams and think dresses the likes of you will be drooling over, believe me, a design for everyone from the short and sassy to the floor sweeping and sparkly (literally, all over sequins!}.
I'd like to extend a huge thank you to organisers Rachel Simpson, Claire Guest and Branwen Cook for inviting me to be a part of the wedding-now. Here's to another day full of giggles, exciting conversations about new projects and photoshoot opportunities, meeting my wonderful blog readers and chatting about their wedding plans, discussing all that is brilliant about the UK wedding industry with my fellow exhibitors and enjoying far too many delicious cakes from the Boutique Baking Company {note, anyone [passing my stand today, those cakes are REAL, they are not soap, take, eat and enjoy ;)}.
Very many thank are due also to those who went out of their way to help my little exhibition stand look so pretty. They include Vicky Rowe, of Vintage Teasets and LeLuxe Clothing, for the loan of her exquisit 1920's style beaded flapper dress and Amy, Amanda and Vicky of AVA Event Styling.
