The Designer Wedding Show 2012

The Designer Wedding Show is an essential date in any planning bride’s diary as it plays host to some of the quintessential suppliers in the luxury wedding market. From couturiers to venues, florists to photographers, The Designer Wedding Show is a one-stop shop for stylish couples planning show-stopping nuptials.

When we decided to take a double stand opposite the champagne bar at the show in February, we knew we needed to create a display with unabashed wow factor. Our first mission was to enlist the services of the inimitable Philippa Craddock, one of our most favoured florists. We worked with Philippa to design our floral displays, which offered an insight into clever ways to dress up in-house décor such as lamps, and even inspired a gasp or two with the carpet of roses beneath our chic coffee table.

The array of white avalanche and akito roses, white lilac, white phlox and white vandal orchids also packed our stand with the most gorgeous scent, seducing passers by with their divine fragrance.

We chose to create a giant oversized mood board, offering a selection of images from weddings that we have curated and inspiration fitting with our design brief for the stand to reflect a crisp, white wedding. Mood boards are an integral part of our planning process and by having a larger than life one surrounding one side of our stand we certainly got betrothed couples pondering their own inspiration!

Finally, we chose plush, elegant but simple furniture for the Snapdragon stand, including a small tablescape to give just a hint of the kind of refined but beautiful services we offer.

Our desire to create a welcoming yet beautiful oasis for visitors to the show proved to be highly successful. We thoroughly enjoyed having couples nestled into our gilded sofa, taking time to flick through the Snapdragon portfolio whilst enjoying a glass of bubbly.

The next Designer Wedding Show runs from 12-14 October 2012.
