Well, what a spectacular day! Bride as a Button, has returned from exhibiting at the Quaint, Queer & Weird Wedding Spectacular in Brighton. The venue was the stunning Proud Cabaret, formerly the Hanbury Ballroom, with it’s very glamorous & boho decor. It was very much like entering a secret club, brimming with alternative wedding inspiration and amazing talent. It was our first time exhibing within the realm of Alternative Weddings and was great to be amongst the colourful & creative suppliers.  There were Burlesque entertainers, birds of prey delivering wedding rings across the room, latex wedding dresses, crocheted gems, astounding cakes, a rocky horror hurst and even Del Boy Trotter!

We emerged to daylight at the end of the fair, enriched with inspiration, to what seemed a very ‘ordinary’ outside world.

On a beautiful sunny day in July, we were honored to be invited to exhibit at the Vintage Veils, Top Hats & Tails fair , at The wedding House Wallingford.  The venue was an amazing 3 story Victorian house set in the heart of Oxfordshire, which is home to an array of carefully selected suppliers, brimming with talent and creativity.

When you walk through the door the welcome hits you, as well as the feeling that you are amongst a very special bunch of suppliers.  Their collaborative  Rapunzel shoot was recently featured in Rock ‘n’ Roll Bride.  Styled by  ‘blog academy’ graduates Shannon Robinson, (aka SLR Photography) and Georgina Webb, (self confessed lover of all things Ruby; and creator of the sparkly world that is  Ruby Wedding Design).

We were serenaded with the amazing voice, that is Oxfordshire’s strictly star Nikki Loy, and privvi to an in-house  Fashion show filmed by Chris from Oxford Wedding Video, featuring some familiar button bouquets
