Vintage wedding Fair

 On Sunday I left home bright and early to go to East Riddlesden hall for their vintage wedding fair.

 Shelly from Toast photography was set up across from me so there were plenty of laughs and witty chat in between the flow of wedding fair visitors.

Holly my intern came along with me and made her very own head wear which was much admired

 

There were so many lovely set ups including Emma bespoke wedding flowers 

 Beautiful jewellery from Saving face jewellery

I was next to a lady who made hand made wedding pies. Not your average pie, these were pretty if a pie can be pretty.

 I was able to use my lovely hand drawn sign again by artist Julia Ogden

Gorgouse table settings from Simply Vintage Events

I took along my woodland crown, cuffs and corsage which is hand crocheted, wired and strewn with crystals. One bride is coming to try on at the shop with her dress, this is a very particular wedding style so she was very happy to find it.

Hand painted signs from Barn Studio Signs

 

A whole table full of treasure from Vintage Strawberry who had some incredible vintage gowns.

 

The whole event was really lovely

 

What a beautiful timber roof.

So after much chatting to ladies who are now coming to the shop to sort out their upcoming wedding head wear, I went home very happy and with very tired feet.

Recently I made a bridal headband, cocktail rose with veiling and a silk pill box hat for a local wedding.The reception was held at a very famous afternoon tea rooms called Betty's in Harrogate North Yorkshire where individual afternoon tea was served to all the guests.
Emily my Intern has been with me for several weeks now and when she came to meet me for the first time, she brought with her an apron that she had made as her final project in college.I knew that it definitely deserved to be shown to the public and when I asked the local mother of the bride if she would let me have a few photographs of the wedding a window idea came to life.
Based on the song ' If I knew you were coming I'd of baked a cake' Emily's apron with a selection of photographs and several pieces of my own tea set crockery bought at an auction a few years ago makes for a very lovely window display. Lots of people are stopping to read the little bio Emily has written about the making of her apron and it has bought a smile to many faces.
