There’s no better place than a wedding fair to get the wedding inspo flowing and A Darling Affair has everything a BFF bridesmaid needs in her corner.
Freebies!
First stop on your list, Hello May! Their team will be giving out free copies of their fab magazine, but you’ll need to be quick as it’s only up for grabs to the first 100 brides who arrive. Pick it up on arrival and start pouring over it for real wedding inspiration.
Everyone loves a freebie! A Darling Affair has organised a great range of prizes to be won on the day including a free engagement shoot from the super talented Adriana Watson. Adriana is known for her stunning, natural images and is a favourite photographer on the Sunshine Coast. The guys from Ice Cream Curls are also giving away a free upgrade package valued at $250 and if you haven’t tried their delicious ice cream yet, they’ll also be giving away free tastings on the day. Yum!
Meet the vendors
The wedding fair will be jam-packed full of creative, friendly wedding vendors to chat to for wedding inspiration. Grab some styling tips from Event Letters, head over to the lovely Tenille Fink and pick her brain for gorgeous photography ideas and don’t forget to stop by Heavenly Blooms and Gloriosa Florals, because no celebration is truly complete without the perfect flowers.
Paper porn
Next stop is to check out the beautiful stationery that’s on display, because we’re suckers for some gorgeous paper goods! Be sure to check out The Frankie Collective, Little Duck Calligraphy and Lindqvist Ink for awe inspiring invitations and stunning old school calligraphy. Then make a stop at Bow and Arbour for a peek at their contemporary, magazine-style wedding albums that will knock your socks off.
