Today (Sunday 21st October 2010) I ventured toA Most Curious Wedding Fair at St. Andrews Hall, Norwich and when being greetedby a cute Volkswagen Camper Van and what looked like a Japanese geisha bride onstilts, my curiosity definitely started emerging!
Upon entering the venue, you could instantly feel the vintage vibe running through the room. A wide variety of stalls were available stocking everything from dresses and veils, to cakes and favours. And in the background you could hear the soulful sounds of the vocal harmony group, the Voxettes. The three girls were fantastic, singing classics such as Lets Stay Together and At Last, perfect for entertaining guests during a cocktail hour!
Themes were definitely visible when looking at the stalls. Lots of woodland style flowers,mixed with woods and greenery to give the enchanted forest feeling. Button and brooch bouquets (and even badge bouquets) stalls were also in force, which shows this is a definite trend on the rise. But of course, vintage was the aim of the day, with a folk band and vintage fashion shows to keep you entertained.And what really took me was the variety of unique stalls there.
How about a fire juggler or stilt walker from Duel Fuel Entertainment, offering a wide range of exciting and dangerous entertainment for your guests. Maybe you are still looking for that perfect hen do idea. The girls over at The Historical Sources can arrange an amazing vintage beauty school for you and your hen party to get that perfect look, and can also be hired with a Snuff Bar (this can also be hired for your wedding day)! Now this was an experience! Reginald Spleen’sTravelling Snuff Bar had me intrigued and of course I let curiosity get the better of me and had to have a go. Thankfully the girl I spoke to known as RetroChick had a remedy for my cold. So a pinch I took and sniff! And wow did it work! Would definitely advise for the more risqué brides!
And of course I can’t forget the wonderful talent from the stalls of the bridalNEXT! section,full of up and coming designers. The first to really stand out for me wasMystic Magic Masquerade. These amazing, unique and bespoke masks and headpieces are designed and made by the very talented (and only 18 years old!) AshleyPearce. He uses a wide range of materials and ideas to suit every bride and theme from traditional style masks to cute bunny ears fascinators. LOVE IT!! It also included designs from MyBowK offering jewelled bouquets and Sophie &Smith exhibiting bespoke wedding dresses.
All in all, a truly wonderful day with a lot of inspiring ideas and emerging talent, brilliantly presented by A Most Curious Parties. Would have loved to have seen more bridalwear, but this didn’t let the event down. Keep an eye out for the next one!
