Belle of the ball....

This kind of event is the reason I began blogging in the first place. I feel all aquiver with excitement as I write!! Belles Events was born out of Kelly’s (the creator of Belles Events and one half of Sussex Love Bug) complete and utter dread of show casing her beloved Belle (a classic VW Beetle) at the standard, run of the mill wedding fairs.

Kelly works at Hove Town Hall and she felt it would allow the perfect back drop for the type of event she hoped to create, one where she would be proud to show off her dear Belle.

The first Belles Vintage Wedding Fair in May this year saw over 500 people through the door and a whole host of unique, individual and inspiring suppliers show casing their products and services.

All of the gorgeous photos featured are courtesy of the very talented and lovely Erika at photomadly.





Many of these gorgeous suppliers have booked again and you can expect to see them on 9th September along with some new faces;

This is just a teeny taste of all the talent, I wouldn't want to give the whole game away...



 






          This event is set to be a whole heap of loveliness. All Sussex Brides take heed!







Belles Events is also hosting Belles Bridal Bazaar on 20thOctober 2012. This promises to be‘not your average bridal fair’. It is not an exclusively vintage affair, instead will host offerings aplenty from unique and exciting local wedding suppliers and entertainers. I will be attending for sure and cannot wait to see what scrummy delights and inspiring creators Sussex has to offer.

 


As well as some of the suppliers featuring at Belles Vintage Wedding Fair, some other suppliers you can expect to meet at the Bazaar are;

thedoowopdolls
heartsandbuttons
dukeandlolly
idovintagebridal
fabulousflora
berrynicecakes
tinoandpip

Again, this is just a little tease, you'll just have to pop along on the 20th October to experience all the talent first hand (I can't wait!!). 

If you would like to be part of any of Belles Events or just want to know a bit more, you can contact Kelly here.

I love how Kelly is bringing together the awesome talent Sussex has to offer with her events, they are not just a place for brides to be inspired or recruit suppliers but also a hub of inspiration and support for creative like minded individuals trying to make their place in the world of weddings.

As I have mentioned Kelly is also one half of Sussex love bug (I’m thinking I don’t know how she keeps all these balls in the air, taking my hat off right now!!!)  Kelly and her husband Joss have had a lovely classic VW Beetle known by those that love her as Belle, painstakingly restored and she has chauffeured many a Sussex bride making their nuptial journey truly memorable. Belle sadly is due for retirement but have no fear as a new Beetle, also to be known as Belle is currently under restoration and will be ready to escort her first bride this autumn. There is a variety of packages to suit every bride, all packages include Belle dressed in ribbon in a colour to complement your wedding theme and other packages include bubbly and a CD with photos of the bride and her bridal party with Belle, to top it off there is even a cute vintage suitcase adorned with ‘just married’ which hangs on the back of Belle, so cute!

I will follow up with some picture of the ‘new’ Belle very soon.

If you would like to get in contact with Kelly or Joss and make Belle part of your day, you can so here.

I think the reason I'm so drawn to Sussex Love Bug is Joss and Kelly are so upfront, they are happy to tell their story of how they began; a seed of an idea after a few drinkies at a friend's wedding, this coupled with their passion and approachability makes them the kind of people you want to include in your special day. Wishing them lots of luck with their new Belle x
