Join Me At The Glasgow Wedding Collective on 1st September And Grab A Signed Copy Of My Book

Hey there weekend lovers! I didn't want to let this weekend pass by without me telling you all about the stupendously*brilliant* event that is The Glasgow Wedding Collective - basically, a super-cool, refreshing alternative to the ‘traditional’ wedding exhibition that is being held on 1st September from 11am to 5pm at The Lighthouse, just off Buchanan St in Glasgow.
I always wanted to get involved, and really get out there when it came to promting my book, Style Me Vintage: Weddings. I wanted to meet the real brides and people that help make Love My Dress such a huge success. Exhibiting at a handful of carefully considered and selected wedding fairs means that I'm reaching out to those readers who truly represent the heart and essence of not only my blog, but my beautiful book too. And after spending most of last summer holed away writing my book, meeting people, exhibiting and doing book signings is something I'm absolutely relishing right now. It's wonderful to now be able to get out there and really celebrate the book.
So, what about this event, and why am I getting involved?

Emma and Ciaran’s wonderful rustic barn wedding in Staffordshire

How they met
“I felt a bit giddy actually – I was a bit tipsy in our local wine bar!” remembers Emma. “We went out on a (sober!) date a week after we first met. That was seven years ago now,” remembers Emma.The proposal
“It was Christmas day 2010 – my favourite time of year,” recalls Emma. “We always like to keep one big present each to open last, and when I got around to opening mine I turned round to see Ciaran down on one knee in front of the Christmas tree! It was so magical and beautiful, with the twinkling lights in the background and the Champagne already open,” she smiles. That sounds just about perfect to us!The bride’s outfit
“I had no idea a wedding dress could make you feel so special – but I felt INCREDIBLE!” beams our very excitable bride. “It was a very magical moment, and I was so glad I had my mum with me to share the experience,” she adds. Her stunning strapless gown was ‘Dabra D’ in the Blue by Enzoani collection.The groom’s outfit
Ciaran hired his grey morning suit from Mia Sposa in Birmingham and looked every inch the classic groom – choose this look for your man if you want a timeless look in your photos.
The bridesmaids
Emma was joined down the aisle by three gorgeous bridesmaids and four oh-so-cute flowergirls. Their outfits all came from Bride and Groom in Bromley. We love the fact that she chose different necklines to flatter her girls’ figures, too – top marks!Silver bridesmaid dresses and purple bridesmaid dresses .....
