Morning everyone :) This is one for all you Brides (and indeed Grooms) who are planning a wedding and looking to the wedding fairs for ideas and inspiration.
Save the Date Magazine have got in touch to tell me all about a fabulous new event they have planned for Sunday 6th February at The Roundhouse, Pride Park in Derby, where, between the hours of 10.30am and 4pm, you will be able to meet and chat to some really super exhibitors in a fun, relaxed and totally informal environment.
Event organiser Lydia from Save the Date Magazine tells us more…
"Having been involved in the wonderful world of weddings for over a year, producing Save the Date Magazine for the East Midlands, one thing has become very clear to us – wedding fayres have had their day. OK, so, there is the odd few which still offer a glimmer of hope but as far as we can see when we look around, they are getting pretty dull. So, we at Save the Date Magazine have decided to give them a facelift and bring them screeching into the 21st century…"
"How are we going to do it? Well, we've located an amazing blank canvas called The Roundhouse in Derby (don't let the college website put you off!) which offers the most ideal location (just a hop across the road from Derby train station and with plenty of car parking) and we've set about getting the most inspirational, creative and enthusiastic wedding suppliers in the business.
We've named each area of the event, from 'the style lounge' to 'the blokes corner', 'the look' to 'all things pretty' and the aim is to inspire brides to be with interactive stands and innovative, live demonstrations by our suppliers. There will also be a catwalk show, a champagne bar, toys for the boys (hence the blokes corner), lots of entertainment and an exciting, buzzing atmosphere."
The floorplan detailing what's in store at The Roundhouse…
"Our aim is to achieve a mix of the Designer Wedding Show in London (in terms of the calibre of exhibitors) with a stripped back, uncomplicated, rustic and totally relaxed atmosphere. The perfect environment for our lovely brides to be to meet and mingle with fellow brides to be and chat with inspirational suppliers who won't be pushing flyers in their face or offering out of date chocolates ;-)"
