OMG. One of the first wedding fairs of the year is happening soon and you don’t want to miss it! Especially if you are looking for ideas, suppliers and gowns that are a bit outside of the wedding box. There will not only be stalls upon stalls of amazing people showcasing their work, but there will also be a alternative wedding fashion show with, of course, alternative looking brides and models! So who can you expect to be there? Well, the extremely talented Elisabeth Armstrong Corsetry to begin with, whom I featured late last year, along with awesome-town Sian of Love Illustrated for all your wedding stationery desires. Plus loads more. The event will be held at the Picadilly Institue and there will be fabulous canapes and drinks for attendees.

This event looks like great fun – and good research for something ‘alternative’ for our lovely wedding venue in Oxfordshire.
I’d love to come along – we’ve just booked our venue and have only 5 months to plan the whole day so we need all the help we can to organise the perfect alternative wedding!
I’d love to go to this I am so over wedding fairs that have things like cream chair covers and other tasteful but boring items.
Would love to win tickets.. Am at home for couple of weeks convalescing after an op. Would really love something to look forward to. My wedding is 30/11/12 and I need alternative ideas for a winter wedding.. <3 xx
And Restoration Cake will be there with loads of tasty cake samples!
I’m even making an appearance on the catwalk… eeek! I will be wearing one of Elisabeth Armstrong’s AMAZING dresses. Cannot wait!

Having major wedding panics thanks to the lovely people at work who ran into my classroom on Monday and screamed,”you’re getting married in 8months time!”
I still have no cake, music or invites and keep being banned from my iPhone by my sunshine-*fret fret fret*!

Hey. Pick me. Lol
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to come, my partner proposed on New years day so im so excited to go to a wedding fayre as a ‘gonna be bride’ for a change as i attended the last alternative fayre just as normal old me and looked a bit sad :/
Just starting to plan our bohemian barn dance themed wedding, this fair sounds perfect for us! Would love to win a pair of tickets…. Fingers Crossed!
I would love to win these tickets, as me and my daughter (who is my wedding planner at the age of 9 lol) want to plan an alternative wedding (not that the hubby to be knows this yet lol!) so I think this would really help our planning. Then afterwards, we can head down to King’s Cross in search for Platform 9 3/4 whilst we’re in London lol!
I’m hoping to suprise my fiancee by bringing her along to this. I think she’d love it, we both know exactly what we don’t want, and that’s a stuffy traditional wedding, and this looks like it could be a great way for us to look at some of the things we DO want! Something that would fit in with our very own personalised mini music festival with all our friends bands playing!
Would love to win a pair of tickets for this, she’d be over the moon!
I am looking forward to this…Alternative – How is a Bajan Ghanian Oriental Wedding sound! ha ha. Great Pictures!! I am soooo looking forward to the fashion show. Can I win tickets please!!!
Would love some alternative inspiration for our wedding in August! All still to do and wasn’t scared we didn’t have much time until started reading all these magazines and blogs which made me realise there’s SO much exciting stuff to plan!

Oh oh oh!!! The wedding fair of my dreams!!! Pick me, pick me!!!
Just started planning my wedding and fed up of being told what I want, so this looks like the perfect place for my own inspiration!
