Gothic By Design

It’s probably no surprise to you to hear that on my journey sifting through all things media, my ears prick up, as it were, to all things ‘wedding’ and all things ‘alternative’, of which there are many.  I can only get truly excited when the two terms exist together.  So when Heidi Thompson, of An Affair to Remember Event Design and Production, contacted me last week about an Alternative Wedding Fair that she is organising later this year she had my full attention.

Now, as we know all know, definitions of ‘alternative’ can vary widely.  At first glance, many a gothic bride-to-be might be forgiven for assuming that this fair is not aimed at her.  It may not be a fair of the dark variety, however, I have taken the time to look more closely and I can assure you that it is well worth a closer look, not least for the following reasons:

• Anyone bringing an alternative option to the market, in a bid to move away from mainstream blandness, is to be applauded and supported;
• All suppliers at this fair will be expecting, nay hoping and praying, that all visitors to their stands will have a unique style and theme, that will get their creative juices flowing.  At present I don’t know of any other planned events where you can speak to so many suppliers in one place open to alternative and/or unusual requests.
• Some of the suppliers already signed up to the Fair are suppliers that feature in the Gothic By Design directory.  Others are suppliers that I may well be contacting myself in due course.

So I’ll leave you with Heidi’s invitation below.  If you are in the Cambridge region on 23 October and are planning a wedding with a difference, you may well find everything that you are looking for here…….
