Taking place across London Olympia, NEC Birmingham and Manchester Central, this season’s white-hot line up of exhibitors included Ellie Sanderson Bridal Boutique, Georgina Scott Bridal, Because I Love You Bridal Centre, Jeff Banks Savile Row, Maids to Measure and Nigel Rayment to name just a few.

Award-winning designer Ian Stuart joined Adele Louise Bridal Boutique at the NEC Birmingham, where he enthused: “The National Wedding Show is slick, tasteful and has a really lovely feel to it. There is so much inspiration, all under one roof, for the whole bridal party! I have seen a lot of customers from all over the country and met some really passionate and enthusiastic brides. The National Wedding Show provides great exposure for bridal boutiques in the area to showcase their collections”.

This was echoed by exhibitors in Manchester and London. At Manchester Central, Victoria Walker from Victoria Walker Bridal Boutique said: “2015 was our best show yet, it was a non-stop weekend full of wonderful brides! Our diary is now fully booked for the next few month and we can’t wait for the next show!”

While at London Olympia, Ellie Sanderson of Ellie Sanderson Bridal Boutique commented: “This year’s National Wedding Show got off to a terrific start for us with brilliant PR support. At the show, we sold dresses to many happy brides who just loved our catwalk scene! The National Wedding Show brings us lots of new customers who we wouldn’t have the chance to meet otherwise. We’ve booked so many appointments back at the store - we have filled most Saturdays in October!”
