Now that Chester has been and gone, it is onwards and upwards to London! We are very excited about this one - it is a well known fact that Londoners like their style. Well, what could be more stylish than vintage? I have a feeling that The Vintage Wedding Fair and London are going to be very happy together - or here's hoping!
Over recent years, vintage weddings have become hugely popular with brides. Why? Because you are guaranteed uniqueness. Vintage inspired weddings capture a certain type of romance - you know the epic, film-worthy kind! I mean after all, weddings are all about tradition and what is tradition without history or nostalgia?
Besides, there is something so magical about recreating elements of the past - perhaps it is the feeling of keeping something alive? Personally, I am of the belief that vintage weddings (or vintage inspired weddings) can help to capture the essence of everlasting love - something that should be eternal and always remembered.
Anyway...I digress!
What I do want to share with you all is some more information on what will be on offer...
Firstly, the event is to be held at Chiswick Town Hall, Heathfield Terrace (W4 4JN) on the 13th November. Doors are open from 11am-4pm (Entry £5) so we hope to see lots of smiling brides there. We have a great line-up of exhibitors attending so you will be in expert hands!
If you are looking for THE DRESS then look no further, you have a. lot. of. option. Heavenly Vintage Brides will be there offering you dresses that will make your heart beat so fast you may need to sit down! Joining them is Donna Crain Couture, Vintage Emporium, Andrea Beun Couture and Days of Grace Vintage - each with their own special selection of top quality vintage gowns dating from the Victorian and Edwardian eras up to the 1970s (fancy a bit of hippy chic anyone?). Plus loads more (see London page for the full list)!
In terms of accessories - we have it beyond covered!! Ever & Ava will be selling an eclectic mix of tiaras, jewellery, facinators, vintage glass and china. Connie & Dolly will also be selling vintage jewellery and headpieces to add that extra sparkle to your wedding look, along with Tallulah's Trinkets.
 What to know more? Come to the event - we will welcome you with open arms!

Oh the fun we had! Chester proved to be the ultimate place for vintage-loving brides who ALL really got into the swing of things - always a pleasure to see!
We are just so thrilled that everybody seemed to enjoy themselves and that a fair few brides were spotted buying the dress of their dreams - oh yes, the tears did roll (out of joy I might add)!
The atmosphere was truly brilliant and all the exhibitors did the most amazing job of keeping our guests entertained and their wishes made into realities. Plus all the cake on offer helped to add an extra dollop of sweetness to the day!
Mouth-watering or what??
As previously mentioned, BBC Homes & Antiques Magazine kindly attended the event, needless to say it created an extra special buzz about the place - make sure you look out for us in their February issue! Also, representatives from the delightful Alt Fashion Magazine came along to do a feature on us too! Exciting stuff.
I can safely say that we hardly wanted the day to end! It was such a pleasure meeting so many fantastic (and stunning) people. Now we are really excited for London!! Meet us at Chiswick Town Hall on Sunday the 13th of November - more information coming soon!
