The National Wedding Show Manchester part 1 x

Hi fairy bugs,
We hope your having a great weekend, thanks for joining us! Yesterday we were treated to an invite to the one and only National Wedding Show at Manchester Central. Full of excitement we headed on down to the show eager to get our click on, so that we could share all of the fabulousness with you. In fact we have so much imagery to share with we are covering this event in 2 parts!! Yes, 2 whole features, with part 2 appearing next Sunday. Don't miss out that will be all about bridal fashion and the immense catwalk show!


After the rather special press breakfast and goody bag, we mooched around all the stands, and blimey they were amazing. The stands were all beautifully presented, we were in awe of each exhibitor. There was so much on offer you could literally come away from the show with every element for your special day booked! Flowers, dresses, stationary, cakes, photography, favours, make up, the list is endless. The best in the business were showcasing, we knew we were in  for a special day.
The arena was split into zones which, was a. Super help when wondering around. It has to be said the Vintage section was to die for. There was even a space for a vintage tea room #loveit. Other areas included VIP, designer, boutique, catwalk.........if you are a bride to be looking for nuts and tips on budgets etc there was a dedicated area where professionals were dishing out advise (super idea and super helpful). We also can't resist mentioning 'bare minerals' and 'Essie' who we're sharing make up tips and advise. If your not comfortable in applying make up or know what to use these guys are the creme de la creme, they aren't pushy just helpful so don't be scared to approach them for tips. Essie also have the most extensive range of colours for your nails, so whatever colour theme your planning they will have a perfect shade to match. 

There were a few superstars who had some real innovative unique offerings for your wedding day. (All imagery below). Let's start with The Wedding Tree Company, a bespoke wooden wedding product supplier who specialises in personalised goodies for your special day. Our favourite piece was a wooden box frame with personalised hearts in the centre. It comes with lots of smaller wooden hearts that your guests can write on and drop into the frame........is that not the coolest guest book ever! Not only is it full of loving messages from family and friends but will look, uber chic when hung up. There are many more products on offer just clock the link above. 
The next stand that really caught our eyes was The Kitchen Swanscoe. If your looking for the most yummy and beautifully presented favours then this is who you need to contact. Perfectly pieced cupcake cookies individually wrapped, homemade jams and jellies in divine little jars, cupcakes displayed in the most beautiful vintage china......the options are endless. High quality, visual bliss, the products would certainly enhance your day and undoubtably create lots of happy tummys. Another great offering are the food hampers......say thank you to your top table guests with a jam packed foody hamper, we're sure that will be a huge hit.
