The Glasgow Girls Wedding Fayre Polloksheils Burgh Hall 2012

This was the second year that we have exhibited at The Glasgow Girls Wedding Fayre at Pollokshields Burgh Hall.

We had a record number of brides attending our stand, placing orders and booking appointments. Thankfully our new recruit Elaine was on hand to handle all this.

Here is her story of what she found in the wedding industry.

The Glasgow Girls Wedding Fayre was held last Sunday (22nd January 2012). I assisted on Wedding and Baby/ LHG Designs stand to promote the very talented designer, Louise's work.  I was happy to meet so many Brides preparing for up and coming marriages to their significant other.
Wedding Tiaras, Bridal headbands, pearl combs, bridal jewellery, Vintage wedding hair accessories

They brought with them extended family to help them decide on various additions to their attire and many other preparations to make their big day perfect. A very busy day with a excitable feel to it throughout. Much attention to detail, and in particular of services and bespoke goodies to choose from.

I enjoyed the buzz of happy women and even some men.The best thing about the wedding Industry is how many new and refreshing ideas are brought to these fairs to widen the scope of what is possible and available. I can't wait to out at my next fair.

Well done to all in attendance!
