The Rustic Wedding Show | Autumn 2019…

Words by The Rustic Wedding Show

Without a doubt THE BEST outdoor wedding show is BACK and is taking place on Sunday 29th September at The Barn at Brook End Green Farm in Bedford from 12 – 3pm. We will be styling up not just the barn but also a marquee from Fairytale Marquees and a tipi from Country Tipis. Each space will be designed in a slightly different theme along with ceremony space inspiration areas…. so if you haven’t decided what structure you want to go with yet or you want TONNES of inspiration for your day, this is the show for you! 

At the Rustic Wedding Show we can’t bare the thought of a show where people shuffle awkwardly round tables with business cards on them so instead we ask our suppliers to SHOW us what they do best by doing it! That way we feel that our couples can really get an idea of the atmosphere that wedding suppliers can create. 

Planned and designed by outdoor wedding expert Katie Slater of Songbird Weddings, the aim of the show is for couples to start to visualise what their wedding day could be and also see the practical implications of their choices. Katie says,

“I am a very visual person and a lot of my couples are to. I created the show because I wanted people to be able to stand in these amazing structures and feel the atmosphere that they create and picture how it could look. I love that at the show we have the variety of structures so couples can really compare the light and airy feel of the sailcloth with the atmospheric interiors of the tipi and pick the one that is best for them.”

WHAT CAN WE EXPECT AT THE SHOW?

Well firstly you can expect structures galore. The opportunity to compare the feeling of the barn, the sailcloth and the tipi is great. This venue also has a lake and plenty of outdoor space so we will be creating mock up ceremony areas and inspiration tables. We have also concentrated on making lots of outdoor spaces and little chill out areas which will allow couples to enjoy the day, hang around, eat some food, listen to music and take it all in. We have live bands coming, loads of different bar options, an incredible selection of caterers as well as all of your essential wedding suppliers. 

“I am so excited for this show. We have decided to take the show back to its roots and really focus on creating inspiring collaborations amongst our suppliers.”

4. Florists

We have 4 wonderful florists joining us at the show. One of those is Cissy from Wild Stems. Cissy specialises in Wild and grand floral structures which look like they have grown in place. She also sources nearly all of her floristry from British flower farms which we think is pretty awesome!

5. Marquee

Fairytale Marquees will be at the show with their sailcloth marquee. These structures are so light and airy in the day but when coupled with the right lighting become really atmospheric as the evening goes on! 

6. Food

We have a fantastic spread of caterers coming to this show from more formal dining options such as CDC Events all the way to catering trucks like this Ex MOD Land Rover Defender wood fired pizza truck from Wood Fired Wonders. No matter what style your food, we will have a caterer for you! 

7. Photographers

We have six fantastic photographers joining us at the show in September with a fantastic range of style and creative flare. One of the photographers is the amazing Thyme Lane Photography! She is a former photographer of the show and all I am going to say is, if the light needs to be caught… this lady will catch it!
