Quirky Weddings Alternative Fair

Last Sunday, I was one of the suppliers exhibiting on the 2nd Alternative Wedding Fair organized by Quirky Weddings. It was such an amazing opportunity to meet so many beautiful brides (and grooms) and to have a chat about their ideas. I'm so excited to hear that many are choosing outside of the box thinking rather than opting out for 'you gotta do it' mindset.

One of the things I do for my brides is an inspiration board- I had few of them on my table as well for brides to have a look at, and I was surprised that so many haven't actually heard of it yet.

Inspiration boards are not a necessity but they're so easy to make and I find that it really helps me stay in the right direction on the event. Because after you have been so close to the event for a few months, it's easy to lose direction or sight of where you're going with it all and what is or isn't important and keep true to the feeling of the wedding. So basically, inspiration boards are just collages of images or pictures that inspire you. It should have a similar thread going through them. The images don't even have to be EXACTLY what you want on your wedding, though they can be.

When brides don't really know what they want their wedding to look like, I usually recommend just saving pictures they like in one folder. And then after few weeks when the folder is nice and full, they can look through the pictures and see a theme or inspiration coming out of them! And that's practically your inspiration board!

Here are four that I did for the wedding fair:

Sweet Sweet Love

Whimsical Elegance

Good Green Fun

 Rustic Lavender
