The UK’s coolest Wedding Show Comes to Norwich - Features of the show and final exhibitor line up revealed!

A Most Curious Wedding Fair is the bridal show for the style-savvy couple. Forget white chair covers, forget taffeta bows and roses with diamonds, this is the wedding event of the year for couples who are create, expressive and love fashion and design.

The 5th April London show was a huge hit and now, on Saturday 19th April it is Norwich’s turn to shine!

This will be the fifth Norwich Most Curious Wedding Fair, and will take place at St Andrews Hall right in the heart of the City Centre. It will be a real celebration of local talent as well as some treats from all over the UK. The 50+ exhibitors, will be joined by live entertainment from the Doo Wop group the Testotatones, a Hula Hooping act, and some barn dance fun from Ceilidh group The Triangle Band! There will also be a vintage tea room run by Norwich favourite Espresso.

It is always a great day with a lively and welcoming atmosphere, with anticipation in the air with all the excited brides and grooms and their friends and families.

A Most Curious hand picks the exhibitors for their creative flair, en trend, design led feel and most importantly their openness to brides and grooms ideas and wishes for their big day - they want to help you have your big day, YOUR way!

There will also be a fashion show featuring local boutique Jennie Cross who will be showcasing her pretty vintage inspired classic pieces, as well as Andrea Hawkes, a very cool Hackney based designer, who will be displaying her range of fashion- led pieces that epitomise that simple modest look that is going to be en vogue this year and beyond!

Accessories will be imaginative with handmade felt bouquets from Miss Violet, vintage head pieces By Samantha Walden and even some paper crafted fashion pieces from decor and styling company House Inertia.
