Wedding Fayres


It’s been far too long since I last updated the blog but it has been a very busy few weeks here at the studio so I’ve got lots to catch up on.
I have exhibited at two more fabulous Wedding Fairs, both full of fantastic wedding inspiration, amazing suppliers and of course lots of lovely brides!

 Made in Manchester Wedding Fayre
27th October

 
The first was the ‘Made in Manchester’ Wedding Fayre organised by the lovely Nicole from Bridal Chic in the City, which took place on 27th October at 2022NQ, an edgy event space recently opened in Manchester’s Northern Quarter.

All the exhibitors were small local businesses each with beautifully unique services.  It was so great to be part of a fair that offered something a little bit different to the brides, and with stunning floral bouquets by Floral Chic Design available, gorgeous cakes by Penny Belle and pretty wedding gifts by Glitzy Pig, they certainly had plenty to choose from.

Along with the fayre, Ophelia May received its first little bit of press! The online newspaper Mancunian Matters published a piece about the fair on the website, complete with a little quote from moi!

Luxury & Vintage Wedding Fayre
3rd November

 The following week I took part in the ‘Luxury and Vintage’ Wedding Fayre, held by the North’s No.1 wedding blog Brides Up North. The Fayre took place at the gorgeous Bowdon Rooms, which with its beautiful Edwardian architecture, was the perfect venue for this luxury event, and it looked stunning inside.  

The room was full of gorgeous suppliers offering everything from photography and make up to vintage garden games and music. I had a great stand near the entrance next to the lovely Gwyneth from Vintage Afternoon Teas, who had a beautiful selection of vintage china and wedding décor on offer.
It was so great to meet the other exhibitors as well, including Nicola from All the Little Details, who has the most beautiful hand crafted wedding stationary and Rachel from Marie Antoinette Cakes, whose cakes were just melt-in-the-mouth delicious!

Both fayres were fantastic and I received an amazing response from the brides, with lots of interest and amazing feedback, which I’m very grateful for! That’s the last of the wedding fairs for me this year but I do have a few lined up for the new year already, with some amazing organisers, so I hope you will all come and say hello!
