The Wedding Collective are back with their inspiring Bridal Market to show couples in Glasgow how they can get creative on their big day.
The design conscious alternative to the traditional wedding show is showcasing at St Andrews in the Square, Glasgow on Sunday, October 30 2016 for one day only.
With a relaxed market of carefully curated, independent Scottish businesses, The Wedding Collective champions local talent while offering discerning couples a stylish alternative to the humdrum of tradition.
From laid-back, Scandi inspired celebrations to vibrant, foodie, confetti-fuelled fiestas, this event caters to every whim of the creative couple looking for fresh ideas.
The Pantry Edinburgh will be on hand to fuel guests with tasty tacos with a soundtrack supplied by local gals Pretty Ugly DJs.
Gillian Lawtie, co-founder of The Wedding Collective, said: “The appetite for a non-traditional wedding is at its peak right now. Design is at the fore for many couples, whether it is the interior inspiration they take from travel, or style inspiration created on the street.
"Couples want design conscious celebrations that reflect who they are, their personal style and make a statement about their relationship. They want to create a beautiful environment to share with their own community of family and friends.
“The rise in shopping local also filters through to weddings which is at the heart of The Wedding Collective and each supplier we showcase, we want to champion and help grow creative communities. This kind of ‘google’ search doesn’t exist in the UK, so we’ve created these laid-back Bridal Markets where it’s easy, fun and relaxing to plan and bring together your wedding plans.”
