The head table by Something Borrowed Something New Wedding Store was absolutely jaw dropping! Plus, the gorgeous view of Christchurch Golf Club behind it helped set the perfect scene.

The team set up three tables and absolutely no details were missed. They had the stunning head table, and then two more wedding tables set up to show a few different options for couples to get some ideas.

Lynn, and her team, are exceptionally talented and have a wonderful eye for detail. Make sure you pop into the showroom to see what can be done for your day!

The talented ladies at Victoria Florist Christchurch had the most beautiful stand on the day! You could smell the lilies, and all the other flowers, from the minute you walked in the door.

Wedding flowers are such an important part of your big day. We all know that most brides have an image in their heads, or numerous images, that they want for their day. Leanne and her wonderful team will make sure you get exactly what you dreamt of.

I highly recommend Victoria Florist as your go to florist for all your wedding florals 🌺

We loved having Twisted Flour & Sugar Merchants, especially as Sally sent around treats for us all to keep us going! Cannot fault Sally and Kate's delicious cakes and their love and care for everything they do. They will make sure you get your dream cake!

They also generously contributed 50 wedding cookies towards our wedding package.

Speaking from my own experience, everyone who tasted one of their beautiful cakes was very impressed!

Jerahmie Tricia Atelier had the most beautiful set up at the Bridal Fair.
She bought her Atelier in for the day, giving people the chance to sit down and have a one on one chat with her about her bespoke gowns.

She even had a special little visit from her niece ❤️

11/04/2023

The wonderful Anna Flanagan - Celebrant & MC was just by the door as you came into the Bridal Fair.

She is a beautifully bubbly Celebrant who will make your ceremony so special and memorable.

Make sure you get in sooner rather than later as she books up quickly!
