A Sunny day in Lemington

It was a glorious sunny day on Sunday at the first ever Lemington Vintage Wedding Fair but that didn't stop the brides to be coming out in force to see us. It was held at the fabulous Assembly- complete with Tammy Wynette's caravan in the basement as a bridal changing room! You had to see it! The day was packed with vintage glamour and songs a plenty from the Polka Dot Dolls http://thepolkadotdolls.webs.com/ The gorgeous girls are below along with the fabulous ceiling in the main hall and of course a couple of shots of me in action on the day.




Below is the lovely Lena garter which went on the day to one soon to be Lemington Bride and a collection of new headpieces - all available to buy on Folksy this week too http://www.folksy.com/shops/Silversixpence



Popular on the day were the lavender filled bouquet charms that were showed off so well by hanging them from the gorgeous bouquet below done by my fab florist friend Laura Coleman-http://www.lauracolemanflowers.co.uk/



So, a few highlights for me in terms of the other stall holders. A lovely lady called Katrina from Whimsical Wishes came over and introduced herself. Like myself she has started her business through getting married - she makes gorgeous stationery so check out www.whimsicalwishes.blogspot.com

It was good to meet the Rachel of Rachel Simpson shoes www.rachelsimpsonshoes.co.uk and we had a good old natter about our bygone days working at hectic retail head offices and how we don't miss it one bit!

And below is Cheryl of Vintage Glamour days- another ex retail lady! Having given up visual merchandising she has turned her very talented hand to running vintage style afternoon tea parties and crockery hire. Her caravan Audrey was the talk of the place- check out
