Bored of seeing the same dresses, the same suggested canapés and the same overly formal tablescapes as you try to plan for your big day?
If the weddings of yesteryear don’t speak to your or your partner’s values, don’t follow the herd for tradition’s sake. Instead, check out South London’s Wedding Show at South Norwood culture hub Stanley Arts on Sunday March 26.
Hosted by Croydon-based wedding planners With Akilah & Co, the fair is a chance to meet a range of hand-picked suppliers who pride themselves on doing things differently. Whether it’s diverse wedding food or dresses that speak to a different cultural heritage, each exhibitor has been chosen for their unique pizzazz and for offering something that breaks the mould.
The show promises to be a fun day out too, with food stands, a well-stocked bar and live performances to help you imagine what a wedding in arts-led, shabby chic Stanley Arts might look like.
Each couple will also be entered into a free giveaway, and the winning pair will be announced at the end of the day (so don’t leave before finding out whether or not you’ve won!).
In their own words, the South London Wedding Show is “for modern weddings that break the rules but feel sooo good!”.
Stanley Arts, 12 South Norwood Hill, London SE25 6AB. March 26, 11am – 4pm. Admission: FREE.
