On Sunday the 14th our shop took part in a wedding fare at a local hotel. The Owsten golf club. The idea is anything and everything to do with weddings, car hire,wedding rings, dresses,photo's florist all show there wears and try to sell them to the future brides. If its a long time since you married or had to organize one for a daughter or son you will be amazed at whats on offer. Lessons for the first dance, magic man to entertain the kids, balloon artist, gambling casino table, cartoon artist, chocolate fountain's, and just of late I have heard somebody who had a marque in the garden had mini stalls like a fair ground, with coconut shy's, hook a duck, candy floss, mini fish and chips etc.
And then theres flowers. It seams brides can spend a small fortune on the dresses but want to spend as less as possible on the flowers. I know I do the flowers but they are on nearly every photograph even on the table where the cake sits. Also when we do a wedding fare it can be quite costly as the flowers wont keep or can be used again, where as rings, photo's, favors, video's etc don't have the cost of waisted stock. There was a company promoting their marque where the different trades were trying to sell their goods. We were there with our flowers we also decorated the tables set up for a wedding also the hotel set up a room ready for a wedding so we decorated that room also. It was quite busy and was amazed that some of the brides were planing there weddings for 2013 and even 2014.

This massive pedestal arrangement in the marque. It had to go on a shorter stand than I would have liked but a lesson for me was the marque is much shorter than a church where this sort of arrangement would normally go.
