DAISY LANE FLORAL - BEAUTIFULLY ROMANTIC FLOWERS FOR YOUR DAY!

Daisy Lane Floral is owned by Emilie Carr and is an award winning independent florist based in North Somerset. Through votes from her couples, Emilie won the 'best florist' category at the Bristol and Somerset Wedding Awards. There was a lot of love for her floristry work that has such a romantic, pretty and effortless feel.

Emilie works from her beautiful studio situated at Clevedon Craft Centre which is surrounded by the stunning North Somerset country side. As well as creating her beautiful designs for happy couples here, she also holds workshops and classes complete with cake and tea in vintage china.

I love how natural Emilie's style is which is constantly inspired by the changing seasons. She loves working with old fashioned flowers using English where possible and garden herbs giving her designs a very vintage feel and look.

The attention to detail is so beautiful right down to what is tied around a buttonhole or bouquet. Emilie also has a variety of props that couples can use for their flowers such as wooden crates, milk churns, baskets and even vintage medicine bottles. 

Come and chat more at the fair and see her beautiful work. Emilie will also be adding a little something to Mabel, our vintage bike that will be outside the entrance to the Clifton Pavilion.

JO HANSFORD PHOTOGRAPHY - BEAUTIFUL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY AND MUCH MORE!

We're so pleased that Jo Hansford Photography are able to join us again for this year's fair.  Jo & her husband Nic have such a lovely, relaxed style and their stunning pictures speak for themselves.  Not only do they take amazing wedding photographs, but they are also have a way with animals as you'll see from the links below.  In fact Jo took the most wonderful photos of my dogs, which I really cherish.  Over to Jo to tell you a bit about them and their work (and thanks to Jo for her lovely words about the Fair!)

"We were over the moon when Ali and the Bristol Vintage team asked us to exhibit at the upcoming show this March. For us, this show has always encompassed everything a wedding fair should be, from its collection of inspirational, quality suppliers, to its beautiful location on the edge of Clifton village, and its fantastic atmosphere and organisation, all brought together in the capable hands of Ali Cook and co.

Our style encompasses natural, informal photography, with an element of more classical imagery and direction from us, to ensure we capture the best from any location and couple. Nic & I have been working together since 2004, capturing over 350 weddings from all over the UK as well as Italy and Spain. We combine our two styles to offer our couples an amazing blend of images as a memory of their wedding day. My first love has always been natural light, creating soft and beautiful images, Nic adds in a more technical element with a passion for lighting and dramatic shots. As a duo, we are always keen to get to know our couples, their style and taste, as much as possible, to make each wedding capture as unique and personal as possible.

In the last few years, we have  been busy introducing a new element into our work, capturing our "four legged friends", horses and dogs. In our relatively short time working in this field, we have been commissioned by the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art in Jerez de la Frontera (www.realescuela.org), have captured the British eventing legends Mary and Emily King jumping furniture on their horses (!), and travelled to the Isle of Skye to photograph the "Homecoming" event with HRH Princess Anne, celebrating and promoting the rare breed the Skye Terrier.

If you have any other "family" - horses, dogs, cats, sheep, rabbits....pigs....you would like included in your wedding photoshoot, we both love doing something new and different!

RUBY & THE WOLF - STUNNING NATURAL FLOWERS THAT ARE A LITTLE BIT WILD!

When Kirstie Deane founded Ruby & The Wolf in 2013, she wanted to offer something a little bit different with an unrivalled focus on design and an eye for detail.  Her company name reflects her style - natural and elegant with a twist.

Kirstie has built up great relationships with local British flower farmers, scours the local flower markets and forages surrounding woodlands to find the perfect blooms for your day.  Her promise to you is that your wedding will have her undivided love and attention and she will ensure everything looks perfect down to the perfect silk ribbon for your bouquet or the tiniest gesture of a flower to bring a centrepiece to life.

Ruby & the Wolf can offer a full venue-styling service including developing colour palettes and mood boards, or an off-the-peg service for brides on a budget or wanting Kirstie's unique style but don't need a full consultation or design service.

Oh - and if you can't wait for your wedding day, show Kirstie's website and blog to your partner and hopefully they'll take the hint and order one of her beautiful Valentine's posies!

EVOKE PICTURES - STUNNING WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

If you want natural contemporary wedding photography with every angle covered, then Evoke Pictures are for you.


Evoke have an unusual approach in that they are two photographers working in partnership. Frances Taylor and Chris Cardwell both have years of professional photography experience and decided to join forces to give you a unique male/female dynamic.

The beauty of this is that they can see your wedding through two different lenses and won't miss a moment of your big day!


Both use top of the range equipment and are true professionals, but their real gift is their ability to put their clients at ease and take beautiful, natural photographs, capturing relaxed moments. 

They will step back and observe, letting the day unfold naturally with as little interference as possible, so you'll feel comfortable and they'll get the best pictures possible.

Frances and Chris work throughout the UK and abroad, and are regular photographers at many of Bristol's most popular wedding venues.  They take a maximum of 25 bookings a year, which means every couple receives their total attention and a completely bespoke service.

Many of their clients continue the relationship and ask them back for the birth of a child or a family gathering. Just take a look at what their clients' say on their testimonials page.


Offering a complimentary engagement shoot is just part of Evoke Pictures great wedding package.  It's a way for Frances and Chris to get to know you and take some stunning photographs.

After the engagement shoot, they select 3 images from the on-line gallery and Evoke create 50 complimentary cards to give as mementos to your guests on your wedding day.


Their new website is soon to be launched but, in the meantime, keep an eye on their Facebook page  for all their news.


As well as exhibiting at our fair, Chris and Frances are going to be this year's 'official photographers' and we can't wait to see the results.  I'll be posting pictures up in a couple of weeks.  So come and say hello to them at the fair ... and watch this space!

This book will give you the memories of your wedding day and beyond. Guests are asked 'Where did you meets us?, How did you meet each other? and "Where will we be in 20 years?", you can add your own too and change these.



HOW did your story begin?  There is a special page for this for your guests to be reminded of your love journey. Lots of pockets, cards with cute angels and fairies, embellishments, ribbon and lace.  The book is aged to look very old, but precious.
