With a record breaking 1400 couples coming to the Wedding Fair at Detling at the weekend, it was certainly a busy one and we met some lovely people. Thanks to everyone we spoke to and thanks for all the lovely complements.
 |
| Just some of our bouquets |
The team was on great form and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. A few people suggested we were all mad (probably true), but it shows how much we enjoy what we do.
 |
| The overall stand |
We even decided to "glam up" for the occasion, wearing fascinators decorated with orchids, colourful corsages and funky wrist corsages. We're all a bit camera shy, but you get the idea...

 |
| Claire wearing a colourful corsage and a fascinator...looking fab! |
In our usual spot, we split the stand into two halves, one being soft, vintage, shabby chic style with buttons and brooches featuring heavily. The other side was more contemporary, bright multi-coloured and just that bit different (look out for the cacti). We think the pictures speak for themselves, so I hope you enjoy them.
For the vintage side first...
