There was no way that we were going to a wedding fayre in April without bunting. Not on your nelly. I made it myself. I was pretty proud of it really. It's now on proud display in a cake shop in Manchester. They took a shine to it, I thought it was a shame to put it in a box for storage. It's theirs now.
As usual, there was no 6ft trestle table on our stand. They really should only ever be used for white elephant stalls at village WI events. I love those. Treasure troves for purchasing vessels that make for quirky vases. Egg cups are a recent favourite.
The stand was focussed on three things. A stunning 1950's inspired dress from the incredibly gorgeous Charlotte Balbier collection, a serious injection of colour and a macaroon tower from the English Rose Bakery. I am most definately partial to a macaroon or two.
I met some lovely brides on the day - can't wait to do their weddings. One is having a mass of sweet peas, heavenly.
On board for this little day trip of colourful wonders was the English Rose Bakery, Louise Ellen Designs, Charlotte Balbier, Silver Sixpence and my own personal collection of shoes - not for sale I'm afraid.
Hope you enjoy the pictures, even if they do feature me with a poppy in my hair.

The most colourful of bouquets. Perfect companion to a Pimms I say.
A close up of a Charlotte Balbier accessory. It's my favourite. I may wear it next time.
The stunning Sweet Pea dress by Charlotte Balbier. Love the cinched in waist. I had a lady enquire about whether she thought you could Lindy Hop in it. Don't see why not.
Wild and wonderful. No cheese wedge orderly carnations and chrysanthymum to be seen. Thank goodness. PS yes, that whopper in the centre is a single rose. It's a biggun - you've got to be big and blousy for the 50's vintage vibe.
The mood board with stationery created by Louise Ellen Designs. Her hubbie to be came up with the table name. He's rather clever. Does and excellent jive. I think it's his favourite. We call him 'The King' of jive. I'm sure he'd like that.
The stand in all it's colourful glory.
Me, with a poppy in my hair putting the final touches to the stand.
The jaunty angles are improving. Even if photography is not my strong point, I like to think I have a go. Now, that's a good attitude, wouldn't you say?
Blossom branches, limonium, stocks, roses and loads of other blooms in here. Anyone else think the light looks a bit like a full moon?
The anenome's were a hit with a little girl who gave an audibly cheeky giggle, picked it up and started running off with a large grin on her face. Happy customer I say. Was incredibly funny.
I let her Mum run after her. I had four inch heels on. Good call wouldn't you say?
