The Vintage Wedding Fair, Harrogate

I’ve been in touch with Keeley Harris from Discover Vintage who is the powerhouse behind The Vintage Wedding Fair which is taking place this weekend in Harrogate. She’s filled me in on a few details about what you can expect from the event...

On Sunday 19th September over 50 specialist exhibitors will come together at the St George Hotel in Harrogate for The Vintage Wedding Fair.

There will be over 600 Vintage Wedding Dresses for sale at the event dating from 1920’s-1980’s along with a fantastic selection of antique lace, headdresses, hats, jewellery and shoes available for you to buy. There will also be a chance to see a vintage make-up artist at work and plenty of opportunity for all important tea and cakes supplied by The Marvellous Tea Dance Company.

Since ‘vintage’ is everywhere at the moment, from fashion to photography; homewares to festivals it seems only fitting that there is an entire wedding fair dedicated to the theme. The term covers such a huge range of decades and eras that I tend to get overly excited when brides tell me they are having a ‘vintage style wedding’. I want to get straight down to the details of how they want to interpret that into celebrating their big day.

From cheeky 1950’s circle skirts, to 1940’s chic; from a retro 1960’s feel to 1920’s glamour. It’s possible to create an amazing wedding from any of these influences. The Vintage Wedding Fair is a great place for those of you planning a vintage celebration to scope out some ideas for your celebration and pick up some unusual finds.

The Vintage Wedding Fair takes place at the St George Hotel on Sunday 19th September from 11.30am-5pm, Entry is just £2.
