US meets UK

So although the original intent was to have a bee meet up it was not to be. I also forgot that wedding shows/bridal shows/wedding fairs really get on my nerves.  So Mr.D and I hung around for as long as we could stand it and I was able to snap a few photos before I was reminded that photography wasn’t allowed…whoopsies!

There were TONS of dresses at the show, booths full of dresses, models walking around in dresses, girls trying on dresses. Everywhere! Most of the stands were all the same and they looked like this:

Lots of white/ivory/champagne/gold poof.  My favorite booth? Fur Coat, No Knickers.  Not only do they have a cute name, they were by far the most unique and interesting booth.  I really hope I can visit their shop while I’m in London this weekend and I suggest you sneak a peak online as well!

My other favorite sighting? A CHEESE CAKE! Not cheesecake, but a cake made out of CHEESE. While I have a cheese obsession Mr.D has a cheese phobia, so as much as I would love this for our wedding Mr.D would probably run screaming from the house.

Then at the end we ended up in a line where we gave them part of the guide to the wedding show and they gave us a bag of chocolate and nivea face cream, it was unexpected and a bit odd…  Not to mention that Brummie (Birmingham) accents can be very hard to understand.  Some of the vendors there might have well been speaking French to me because I honestly couldn’t understand and just nodded my head.  I was so embarrassed but thankfully Mr.D acted as a translator.

Would you say wedding shows have been mostly helpful or useless in your planning?
