The show has something for everyone, whether you’re just starting out or looking for that final finishing touch.”

Taking place over three days, The National Wedding Show has opened to thousands of eager wedding visitors. The star of the show, The Wedding Catwalk, will be showcasing a huge selection of wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, grooms wear, mother-of-the-bride and occasion wear and more.

New for Autumn 2017 is the Inspiration Lab, giving brides, grooms, family and friends the opportunity to explore their artistic side and learn how to create something unique and beautiful with The National Wedding Show’s selection of crafty experts. From modern calligraphy workshops to cocktail masterclasses, there’s something for everyone to try, adding their own personal touch to their special day.

Another new addition to the National Wedding Show is The Style Stage. Leading experts are on hand to give advice on everything from finding the right dress to learning to de-stress before your big day. In addition, the luxury French cosmetics house, Lancôme, is running a daily make-up masterclass featuring the latest bridal looks.

But The National Wedding Show is not just for brides – The Grooms’ Room with Cad & The Dandy are providing a laid-back shopping experience for the men at the show, with classic British tailoring, English fabrics and unparalleled choice from a carefully curated range of independent labels.

J. Fitzpatrick, The Grooms’ Room says: “We are here to make sure the groom steps out in style on his wedding day. Today we have seen both bride and grooms-to-be come along to find the perfect shoe, and we love to see everybody walk away feeling good about their purchase.”
