It’s that time of the year again. The Muscat Bridal team is really looking forward to show you our collections at A Most Curious Bridal Fair on the 18th and 19th of March. The iconic venue is once more The Old Truman Brewery and it will be packed with alternative wedding suppliers.
We met some lovely people last year and are looking forward to getting to know some new ones this year. In their own words, the ones that have caught our eyes are the following.
Matilda Delves Photography
“Your wedding is about having all your favourite people in one place and having the best party ever. The dance floor going crazy ; confetti being chucked in your faces; laughter that makes you spit your drink out; tears of joy; you looking gorgeous in your dress, but with muddy feet from where we walked across the field to get a killer portrait in some pretty light ; your mum’s dog begging guest for a canapé; big hugs and all the love. Natural, stylish, wedding photography with heart and soul.” See website here
