attending my first 'Vintage Wedding Fair' next month & am a bit nervous! I'm an old hand at craft/handmade events but not sure of the expectations of clients at a Wedding Fair. Nether-the-less I'm expecting to have a fabulous time! Lisa Oh, Kat... how perfect is this since my first bridal show of the year is tomorrow -- and Im setting up today.... wow, I wish you could see my booth -- its going to blow everything away this year b/c its completely out of the box -- and we made everything (yay for DIY)! I hope it attracts the more offbeat brides... thanks for all the advice! fab post and soooo true! I've done a few fayres myself and as a MUA and I try to make the catwalk models over whenever I can to show off my work (and for discount of course!). I have photos and a portfolio plus my laptop spooling photos too, I offer mini make-overs where possible and offer a competition in order to gather brides details for contact later. I always stand and chat too, and I always ask to see the brides engagement ring...not just because I am nosey (but I do love bling) but also because it breaks down a barrier. By holding her hand to look at the ring, it kind of acts like an informal handshake, breaks the ice and instantly builds rapport. I don't know, maybe the psychology degree does come in handy afterall! x We'll be exhibiting
