Top 3 Reasons You Should Attend a Wedding Fair
Are you getting married in 2023 or 2024? Planning a Wedding can sometimes seem like you have a never-ending to do list and a whole lot of decisions to make. It can get pretty overwhelming. Attending a wedding fair is an amazing opportunity to be inspired, have fun, take control of your Wedding plans and get a lot achieved in just one day. (Plus, you just can’t beat trying out all of that Wedding cake - yum!)
Why wouldn’t you want to spend a day enjoying all things Wedding? Wedding fairs come in all shapes and sizes, but overall, they are events that should definitely be on your Wedding to-do list! They are full of unique suppliers, inspiring ideas, live entertainment, food and drink stalls, and things you didn’t even know you wanted for your Wedding day.
From tasting some of the most delicious cakes you’ve ever tasted to trying out beautiful tiaras and divine wedding dresses. It is a brilliant day out for all Wedding-planners, bring your other half or take the girls and make a day of it.
Here are my top reasons you should attend a Wedding Fair!
Get Inspired
Put away that Pinterest board and prepared to find inspiration in real life! Even if you’ve spent hours browsing online or creating moodboards of your ideal Wedding, nothing compares to seeing it all in person. There is such a variety of suppliers that you’re going to see a huge selection of things that you might not have looked at before. From stationary, to magicians, to exotic honeymoon destinations.
It’s a great place to see the latest trends and creative design ideas, so that you can incorporate some of these into your Wedding. But as well as finding out about the current trends, sometimes attending a Wedding show can spark ideas that you wouldn’t have had otherwise. Did you know you can have live painters on your special day? Or what about having an owl as your ring bearer? Or you have to have a look at my beautiful bespoke Wedding coasters for your guests to take home as tokens of your special day! Whatever unique ideas might be out there, be prepared to get inspired.
Find Your Suppliers
Not only is a wedding fair fun and inspiring, but it’s also really productive. There is simply no other way to browse and meet so many suppliers. Wedding fairs are a chance to make personal connections with vendors across every category. Instead of scrolling through hundreds of reviews or making never ending calls, you can meet lots of wedding professionals in just one day.
Having all the prospective suppliers in one room will save you so much time when you think of all of the travelling and meetings you would otherwise have had to organise in the lead up to your special day. Forget about all those enquiries, checking your emails, answering phone calls… you can just speak to all of the suppliers in one day, in one place. And you get to meet them face to face instantly which makes such a difference. It gives you the opportunity to discuss your preferences, review their samples and ask all of the questions that you have.
It’s also worth considering that many suppliers offer special deals and discounts to any bookings that they take during the Wedding fair, so you will likely be getting a really good deal that you might not be able to find elsewhere.
One Stop Shopping
Where else can you buy your Wedding dress, book your honeymoon and taste your Wedding cake in one day?! Forget about having to drive all over town to make appointments and meetings. At a Wedding fair, you are surrounded by all of the things you need and want for your special day, all in one place.
Try on beautiful Wedding dresses while your bridesmaids browse for their dresses, and then go ahead a book your band, and then why not also book some quirky food trucks as well? Whatever you want, you can get it done all at once. From the food to the honeymoon, you can turn your vision into reality really easily, and have fun at the same time.
So now you know my top reasons that you have to visit a Wedding fair, I also want to share with you some top tips to make your day the best it possibly can be!
Wear comfy shoes! But also, if you want to try on dresses - bring your heels with you to try on with them!
Eat before you visit, and make sure you bring bottled water with you.
Don’t take your fiancé unless he really wants to be a part of it and he’s going to commit to going around all of it with you! He will likely be one of a few men at the whole event.
Bring along people who are really excited about being a part of it with you, if someone is not looking forward to it, it’ll be painful for everyone involved.
Be kind and patient with the suppliers. It’s a very long day for them and they are likely to be repeating themselves constantly.
Bring a camera or have space on your phone to take photos, because you’ll see so many things, you will forget a lot!
