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

      Caught him a few years ago at a bizarre gig in Canterbury and know his London agent.  Sad but he wants a well man.  It was a pleasure to have seen him a few times, always different!  Hadn't realised he had been a local.

      Stewart Lee, who I have seen numerous times, played a gig 18 months ago in Peckham, turning up late and doing around 12 mins of an expected headliner slot.  He has no social media presence and is uncontactable.  I complained to the ticket agents and promoters to no avail.  Obviously I wouldn't boycott a paper due to this incident. With hard copy print declining more liberal media need support irrespective of how easy it is to pick holes.  The decline of regional and local papers has compounded the issue of so many drawing their information from the right wing/populist press, and unverified reports on social media.

      Avoid companies that are run by non trades people Seems to be the trend lately. Check them on Companies house first. There are some great family companies or sole traders. LMQ Roofing 07860 467708 [email protected] ANR Roofing 08009330439 Fist on my list is Liam McQueen https://www.lmqroofingservices.com/ Honest, reliable, constant updates, proper written quotes professional and lovely polite workers. Great work. Also though we did not use them in the end ANR Roofing based in Wimbledon offered some sound advice and quote.  Also very lovely family run firm. And Crest Roofing based in EC1V 2NX came and gave a quote and seemed very lovely with some advice also. 07934 975769
