Contemporary, minimalist bridal for London brides from our 2014 show to now - Introducing Andrea Hawkes Bridal

This year, our dress sponsor is Andrea Hawkes Bridal, an iconic bridal designer who’s famous for her contemporary shapes, flowing lines and impeccable eye for design. We were lucky enough to have her as an exhibitor in 2014 as a brand new start up business, and we’re honoured to have her back for our 2019 show. Half a decade has passed, but her incredible skill has stayed the same, with her designs getting more and more swoonworthy as the years have gone on. We chat to her about the past 5 years, and her brand new “Identity” launch…

Bridal beauty from the loveliest ladies in the biz - Introducing Portraits Bridal

The creative genii behind the gold eyelid lines and peachy hues on our campaign shoot this year (and loads of other years too - we’re very lucky!), Portraits Bridal, are back for our 2019 show. With experience in the world of fashion and a portfolio burst of beaming brides, a keen eye for design and a steady hand for perfect make-up application and hair styling - they’re also the loveliest ladies to have around on the day. That may sound like an odd thing to prioritise, but if they’re responsible for getting you ready for what could be the biggest day of your life - and which will definitely be the day where you get the most photos done - you need someone calming and understanding there to help you. You’ll feel like you’ve walked away with two best friends in the Portraits girls - and you’ll be walking away absolutely GLOWING too! Metaphorically, that is - because if you want matte and natural, they can also do the best au natural beauty you’ve ever seen.

Having a wedding by a rooftop pool in London may seem like an actual distant fantasy - or having your celebrations in a Studio 54 themed nightclub.

Beautiful wedding photography made with more than just a camera - Introducing Lisa Jane Photography

We love Lisa Jane Photography for a whole host of reasons - not least because she brought us donuts during setup last year. But that is, all jokes aside, the kind of incredible soul she is. As well as being an insanely talented photographer, she’s super perceptive and sensitive, and totally, irrevocably emotionally connected to her couples, meaning she’s constantly hunting out those moments you can’t explain, but just feel perfect; as well as chasing stunning light to capture portraiture at its finest. We’re chatting to her loveliness on the blog today because we’re thrilled she’s back for A Most Curious Wedding Fair 2019 - we can’t wait for you to meet her and fall head-over-heels in love like we have!

The photographers bringing LA heat to London cool: Introducing September Pictures

September Pictures are a mostly London-based, sometimes LA-based photography duo who oooooooze divine Californian chill into all of their work, wherever they are. Their background as music photographers has prepared them for wedding photography because - in their own words - everyone’s trying to have the day of their lives, a million wonderful things are happening at once, nothing runs perfectly on time and it usually ends with wild dancing. This means their shots are simultaneously full of energy and vibrancy whilst also being the perfect snapshot of time standing still. We are palpably thrilled at the prospect of having them on at our 2019 show and over the moon at the idea of you meeting them, irrevocably falling in love with them, and seeing the magic you end up creating. But before that - here’s a teaser…

Usually this is where we write a little intro about the supplier we’ve blogged about, but I’m not sure there’s a better way to describe Loulabel Floral Design than the words she’s used herself: “flowers that make you feel” is a beautiful sentiment AND the perfect way to describe her gorgeous work!
