Alright! I’m gettin’ down and dirty and telling you all about The Vintage and Handmade Bride’s Wedding Fair last Sunday!
It was great. Really. I had a total blast, for heaps of reasons. Firstly, I had my bestie Jade with me to help me out during the day – she was amazing. She called herself my intern. (Just between you and me, I brought her along because she’s super awesome and I figured all the brides and grooms in attendance would just fall in love with her immediately and book me because of her. She was my secret weapon.) The day was glorious – the Mt Gravatt Showgrounds were lit up in pretty sunlight like it was going out of fashion. We met so many wonderful brides and grooms-to-be – not to mention the other vendors who were showcasing! Everyone was just super lovely and I’d like to think that I made some new friends. :)
Here are some piccies for your viewing pleasure.
The guys from Holden Oldies parked one of their cars out the front like a total boss. It was awesome.
…aaaand there’s my smiling face. Like a GOOF. So happy but also trying not to be nervous.
The gorgeous Jill from Retro in the Rough was showing off some of her fantastic hire-wares. You may remember Retro from this fantastic photo shoot.
I am IN LOVE with this wedding dress design from Silver Sixpence. It’s actually a top and a skirt! In a gorgeous blush pink colour. Could not love this more. Am considering having another wedding just to wear this.
Check out this amazing lolly buffet set up from Perfectly Sweet! I don’t know how Alicia doesn’t eat them all herself, personally.
These cakes from Feather and Lace Creative Cakes were amazing.
And of course, Gillian Bell’s cakes never disappoint. She also worked on this photo shoot.
Downstairs a bunch of vendors had created a styled space – this was put together by Jill from Retro in the Rough and Nat from Heavenly Blooms.
And there you have it! It was such a fabulous day, I had a total blast. Thanks to Jade, the ever-amazing BLS intern; to Mel from The Vintage and Handmade Bride for putting on such a riotous shindig, to the other vendors who were so fun to hang out with and of COURSE, all the happening brides and grooms-to-be that I met!
I’m sure you’ve seen my multiple facebook posts about The Vintage and Handmade Wedding Fair happening this Sunday at the Mt Gravatt Showgrounds – I know I keep harping on about it! But I’m largely excited. This is the first time I’ve exhibited at a wedding fair! I’ve never done this before! What’s going to happen? Will brides-to-be like me? Will I make friends with the other vendors? I very much hope so.
Since coming back from our holiday overseas (another post about that later!) I’ve thrown myself into getting ready for this fair. I am offering the major prize at the fair on the day – a full day coverage wedding package for 1 lucky bride and groom – and I’ve got another neat little special just for fair-goers. My friend and all-round awesome person Jade is coming to help me on the day so that either A) I have someone to help me when I’m overrun with awesome people enquiring about my wedding packages or B) I have someone to talk to if my stand is quiet, ensuring that I don’t look like a loner. :-/
A while back, some of the other vendors exhibiting at the fair and I got together to do a little styled shoot, to use for promotion for the fair. You may have seen some of these gorgeous pictures on The Vintage and Handmade Bride Wedding Blog – but here are a few more.
Here’s to all the beautiful peeps responsible for this shoot:

Make sure you stop by my stall and say hello on Sunday! I will be giving out little goodie bags and would generally just love to chat with you. :) I’m so nervous! Eeek!
