Hello


Just putting the feelers out and seeing if there are enough local/small businesses out there that want to target the wedding market with an emphasis on 'vintage' or 'alternative' (not too commercial).


I am an online wedding stationer - www.octaviaplum.com - and I'll be doing a couple of small wedding fairs this year but there seems to be nothing south-east London based. If there were enough of us interested; vintage jewelry, dress collectors, cake makers, stylists, photographers etc. then might be a fun idea to start one.


I know that East Dulwich and surrounding area is a hot bed of creatives and small business so if you're keen, then get in touch!

Yes, I think it would probably depend on how many local wedding businesses came forward as I guess its quite niche, but I definately think that East Dulwich has that vintage vibe about it and people wanting something a bit less 'high-streety'. Plus there's a lot of young couples that settle in east dulwich that might be heading down the aisle! There isn't any fair I know of in the SE area.

I'd definitely be interested. We are a small family run business supplying funky retro sound systems for weddings and parties.

I've been looking for a marketing opportunity where I won't be pitted against DJ Dave with his starcloth and speakers on poles. We offer a much more bespoke service that suits a more retro/ rockabilly/ funky occasion.


Please let me know if there's anything I can do to get the ball rolling.

Good morning,


Im going to contact a venue today about hosting the fair. Please can you follow me on twitter if you are still interested, as it would be interesting to see what cross section of the industry we can pull together from the local area. Thanks.

Hi, it would be great to hear from any brides to be in the area about whether this is something they might be interested in. If you want my details to help organise or source a venue then PM me.


I didn't post my details in the first one as I'm a general user of the forum so I'm going to make this the one mention of my business that I'm allowed. I'm a photographer with a vintage, alternative style (that's the easy way to put it. My web address is www.elliegillard.com

Thanks iluvcake - I might put out a twitter 'shout out' to some other photographers I know and see if it is something they might like too...


Would be great to get something going - struggling to think of a venue in ED right now but sure there are loads...

Hi, I think that if over 300 people have read the thread then about that many are interested which is pretty good going so far! I am going to be talking to the ED warehouse as they have shown an interest in hosting the fair. Its certainly a brilliant space for it. Will let you know how I get on.

PS Will definitely require some help with this when it gets off the ground. Thanks for all the offers! x

Hi there,


I'm very interested, I'm a new salon who has recently moved into the area. We were previously in Croydon - we specialize in weddings for all hair types. Oh yes,I have also been told that there is a wedding fair held in Dulwich College yearly. - never attended so don't know if it still exists, you might want to check. Keep me updated!


Many thanks.

I am a creative planner who has just finished a vintage/retro wedding, I enjoyed it so much that I would relish doing it again. I plan and create unique weddings and events, making and sourcing everything personally.So every little detail can be personalized.


The fair would be something I am interested in.


Thanks

Me too! I make vintage style hair combs, slides/brooches and headbands out of velvet flowers and leaves and can co-ordinate these with brides and bridesmaids dress fabrics. Flowers include roses, violets, hydrangea and (perfect for small bridesmaids or flower girls) forget me knots. Please let me know! HP

      UK Government Consultation on SEND

      By lollol · Posted

      I know people won’t have any sympathy but the SEND challenge was brought up when taxing parents who have opted for independent school to meet a child’s SEND needs. Funding crisis is getting worse and the VAT on Education pushed children out of independent schools, now their SEND needs are to be met by the state.

      I completely agree with you - and last night was really terrible where I am. Between midnight and 1am was the worst, where it genuinely felt like a war zone. I had to run out of my house to try and stop a grown man setting them off in open space right by our front doors. In response he went to throw a half lit one at me and then seemed to think better of it. I am so sad at how bad the situation has got here and how selfish people are. Fireworks are bad for the environment and for pets and wildlife, as well as just being unnecessary noise for people too. I have sent an email today to Helen Hayes, which I have done previously on this issue. Would advise anyone to write to your MP to do the same, and to ask them to engage with the debates scheduled for 19 Jan.

      First mate - I wondered if I was imagining things at 4.45 this morning . Apparently not .
