Today’s blog is courtesy of the absolute gem (geddit?) Geraldine from Isle Jewellery. Isle Jewellery is a jewellery brand with a gorgeous focus: a minimal aesthetic with maximum story. Each design is inspired by the natural beauty of Ireland and the adoration of simplicity in Japan, a mix that works so wonderfully. In a time when everything can feel like it’s coming atcha reaaaaal fast, these pieces remind you to slow it all down just a teeny bit. We A D O R E every single piece they make - and we know you will too.
Read MoreToday’s blog is courtesy of the Pick ‘n’ Mix queen - Devine Bride, who loves the stuff so much she even trademarked it. Not the bag and weigh sweets kind, but a totally innovative way of approaching wedding planning. Laura offers modern wedding help for modern couples, meaning that her offerings are bespoke, flexible, and, frankly, bloody brilliant. She’s all the best bits of a super-organised wedding planner, a really clued-up pal (the kind you’d go to for serious straight-talking life advice), and a really creative bridesmaid, all rolled into one.
Read MoreWe’re so excited to have Andrea Hawkes back for our London 2020 show as our SPONSOR! Andrea and her team create the most incredible wedding dresses and outfits, with designs that are super directional, featuring stunning silhouettes and using the most delicious of fabrics. We love their approach to making, as they make everything in house in a stunning bridal showroom in Clerkenwell - right in the heart of the artisans and makers. But instead of us butchering what they do, we chatted to Andrea herself about her work - and we think you’re going to like it very much…

Read MoreCatherine Short’s distinctive style always leaves us swooning - a heady mix of greenery, texture, and effortless romance. Everything she creates is daring but delicate, bold but tender, larger-than-life whilst simultaneously feeling like they perfectly belong. We chatted to her about her style, her inspirations, her process, and her recent trip to Japan too!
Read MoreYou may think once you’ve seen one wedding cake, you’ve seen them all, but today’s blog is here to demonstrate that that is not the case. Marianna from Whisk & Drizzle is a neuroscientist-turned-baker, meaning not only do her cakes test delicious but they look absolutely perfect too. And when we say look perfect, we mean - you can’t actually tell them apart from geode crystal. In the infamous words of Bruno Mars, don’t believe me? Just watch!
Read MoreWell hello there, wonderful and most curious humans! What a pleasure it is to get to chat to you and tell you all about us (always a daunting task I think, but we’ll give it a go!)
We are Lorna and Jack, E.Y.i. Love, a modern luxe design and print studio, specialising in beautifully stylish stationery for weddings and events. We founded our company in 2010, after failing to find a supplier we loved for our own wedding stationery (oh yeah, we’re married!)using my grandfather’s old letterpress to craft our invitations. Gathering together our respective skills, we were a textile designer and an engineer in a former life, we formed an all-encompassing passion for modern design and a super clean aesthetic

Read MoreEeeee, it’s time to introduce you to our first premium exhibitor for 2020 - the lovely Indiebride London!

Read MoreYou know how it is at MC HQ - constantly searching for the newest, freshest, most exciting brands and designers in the wedding industry, and then getting feverishly excited when we find them. Let us tell you, the absolute mania that descended when we found Aisle Studio was mega - someone who was marrying (no pun intended) edgy, directional modern graphic design with the world of wedding stationery. We chatted to Gemma to find out some more about Aisle Studio and how it all started…

Read MoreHere it is, the running order for MOST CURIOUS LONDON 2019!
Read MoreFor our 2019 show campaign, we commissioned some one off bridal wear pieces and today we want to tell you about Grace Lane’s creation. Until now Grace has specialised in custom made; creating outfits for many bespoke brides plus the likes of Florence and the Machine, Rita Ora, and Paloma Faith and Grace is not only exhibiting at the show, she is also launching her debut bridal collection at the show AND IS RUNNING A GIVEAWAY TO WIN THIS DRESS!

Read MorePREPARE TO HAVE YOUR MIND BLO(AUM)WN. Bloaum Studio are our floral sponsors for our 2019 show, and we genuinely couldn’t be happier - we’ve been spellbound by her magical floral abilities ever since she began. With an incredible eye for texture and colours, appealing to every sense and always pushing the boundaries of what you could ever imagine flowers could do (Shelena’s the genius egg who pioneered coloured flower water at our 2018 show), she’s a firm favourite in our books. Imaginative, design-led florals coming your way from this gal, very very soon!
Read MoreFollowing on from our previous article we spoke to three bad-ass brides who were missing their mums with all of their beings on their wedding day and they share with us the individual ways they coped, and how they wove both loss and love into the proceedings.
Read MoreThere’s no denying getting married is one of the most important and significant days of your life, one of celebration, of family and sharing a special moment in time with all of those you hold dear. So, what if a special person is no longer here? The hole that they have left behind can feel more overwhelming than ever. How do you face your wedding day without them?
Life is, in no uncertain terms, a bitch. And this means that people die and sometimes they die way before we are ready and it’s on a day like your wedding day that you may feel this the most. Juxtaposing grief and joy is not easy. Looking to the future, loved up with your partner, while your heart is heavy with the absence of someone from your past and present, is a scary prospect and sometimes a reason that people experience extreme anxiety about their wedding, in parts dread or even put off the day itself.
Read MoreWhen you look back at your wedding in years to come, you might recall the weather, the food and the styling, but I’m sure that what you remember most is the love and warmth from your new husband or wife, from your family, and from your friends. Choosing the perfect group of people to surround yourself with is often why narrowing down a guest list can be such a difficult task. There’s also a second group of people that can have an equally important influence over your wedding day: your suppliers. In the age of search engines, wedding blogs, websites, social media and email it has never been easier to find, communicate with, and book suppliers without ever meeting them in person. But the personalities of the people you book are just as important as their technical prowess. Photographers, videographers, venue staff, and even dressmakers and florists all have the ability to make a huge difference to your wedding experience. That’s why visiting Most Curious 2019 this March is a great way of meeting some of the finest, and nicest(!) suppliers in the wedding industry, and help you select your wedding dream team…
Read MoreThis year’s fair (well, every year’s fair, but specifically this one) is about celebrating the artisans, the craftmakers, the artists, and their amazing work. And London Rocks definitely do that, working to make totally bespoke jewellery - whether it’s engagement rings, wedding bands, or earrings - that you’re a part of every step of the way. They even have a custom-fitted studio with a glass floor, so you can see the workshop below and all the busy scurryings of their master jewellers making pieces to last a lifetime for couples! We chatted to them about their work, their ethos and their wedding rings…
