On a windy Saturday morning, I found myself blown up Edward Street towards The Wonderous Wedding Fair located in the grandeur grounds of Brighton College. Clutching a bag of cables and our top tips when booking your venue leaflets, I was ready to meet other suppliers and potential clients.
The Wonderous Wedding Fair
Despite the weather, it was a good turn out of brides and brooms to be. A wood fire pizza oven from @tinroofkitchen with delicious slices and a quirky VW camper from @busandbugvintageweddings greeted you just outside in the main entrance.

A beautiful balloon/flower combination arch created by @phohm hung over the entrance and set the scene for plenty of quirky and unique stalls ready for the day ahead.
There was a great selection of vendors to cover everything from sign illustrations by Amelia Waters Studio to huge decorative lights from @lockeandbusby. After speaking to most of the exhibit owners it was great to get to listen to their story and be amongst other supportive local and small independent businesses.

The stage was graced by Lady & The Dukes, performing duke box hits with a vintage spin. Lauren Ross is a very elegantly dressed woman with a fantastic singing voice accompanied by the Dukes playing live piano and double bass. If you’re looking for a band option – then these are your guys. Check out their website for more information.
