Aren’t all wedding fairs samey?

Nope! Not this one! If you are starting to plan your day, then look no further, come to THIS wedding fair. It really is fresh, creative and YOU! One of my couples told me; “We had been searching for wedding things on the internet and spend ages doing just that, but it was really great to personally meet wedding suppliers face to face”

This year’s eclectic wedding fair will be in one of the most unique venue’s in Birmingham. Located in the heart of Digbeth, Come and find us all in The Bond Company. The Bond Company is amongst some historic renovated buildings so its all cool looking and there’s a canal-side café,too. The Bond is an oasis in the heart of Birmingham, it was where these photos were taken at last year’s amazing event.

Is there a catwalk show?

Kind of!! Fashion shows can detract from all our chatting and browsing with suppliers. But the ones at EWE are totally different! On Saturday there’s a ‘Fashion Walkabout’ meaning wherever you are at that point you’ll be able to watch it. On the Sunday they have Real Couples Parade, designers ask their past brides and grooms to come and model  (in all their beautifully diverse glory). That could be YOU next year!!

I’m coming with a friend, what else is on?

You can try out the fabulous photo booths, enjoy the brass band madness or get your game on and have a play at the gaming stations. If you note all the ‘sheep puns’ you’ll see theres the famous ‘Sheep treasure hunt’, you might want to checkout a, workshop or a demo or eat from the the street food folks and relax and enjoy some fizzy concoctions at the specialist wedding bars. Mingle with all the Bad Ass Mo Flo’s (thats us stall holders) and if that’s still not enough, there is a Christmas Market where you can buy original and unique gifts and treats for your wedding AND Christmas. I’ve been checking out all the suppliers and will be hoping for a chance to make some purchases myself!
