Wow, what an amazing day last Sunday was, I think I’m still actually recovering from it but it was a great day and I know so many of you wedding planning couples found it super useful too!
One of the main benefits for any couple planning their wedding, is the fact that you get to meet the person you’ve been chatting online and actually put a real person to the company name and build a person to person bond.
As a wedding photographer, I don’t need a shop front or studio so coming to wedding fairs and shows like this gives me the ideal opportunity to meet you guys face to face for the first time and its so informal and fast paced that there’s no fear of high pressure or the ‘hard sell’, just the ideal opportunity to get a better idea of who you’ve been chatting with and put a face to the name.
This years catwalk show was so much fun, I was lucky enough to be right at the front with my stand so I didn’t miss any of the show, and what a show it was! We were dancing and singing along like we were at a wedding at one point and I love how the traditional style of a ‘catwalk bridal wear’ has changed into something far more fun and inclusive to get everyone involved, all the models were gorgeous and the dresses just stunning but the guys rocked it too and the girls handing out glow sticks really started the party!
Another reason I love events like this is that it gives me chance to catch up with some of my favourite wedding industry friends and colleagues, we all work so hard on actual wedding days that it's nice to be together at something like this where we might actually get 5 mins to chat, admire each others stands and find out what we’re all up to, it's a great see how creative we can all be with our allocated spaces and get ideas and inspiration too.
Working in the wedding industry in North Wales is amazing and I’ve been lucky enough to meet so many suppliers that I now consider friends too.
With so many great suppliers to choose from, I’ve put together a list of some of my favourites that were there on the day
