Well, what an awesome finale to our 2023 shows! Despite the cold weather, Leeds you gave us the warmest welcome. Thank you to everyone who showed up. As always, the suppliers did NOT disappoint.

The Atmosphere

Testbed is a versatile space for couples and throuples with vision, and our carefully curated selection of suppliers offered PLENTY of beautiful inspiration. EPH Creative did not miss the chance to create a whole new land for our attendees to explore! Showcasing just a small selection of their incredible props, including lips to sit on, a gorilla with sunglasses, a multicoloured light-up heart, oh and a pink elephant…obviously! Whether you are looking for an eclectic mix of seating or a fun and stylish aisle to walk down, then you need to check out EPH Creative.

Imagine walking down the aisle towards this gorgeous multicoloured lit heart. Everything available to hire from EPH Creative

Streamadelica never disappoint with their sensational, sustainable streamers. Their showstopping installations can turn a plain space into THE party and their bright, multicoloured banners did just that against the gorgeous, exposed brick in Testbed! Not only are they pure joy to look at but they are weatherproof so no matter where you are getting married you can transform your space!

Balancing the retro and super cool vibe, Pinch Me Please showcased their amazing neon’s! Their gorgeous props are designed and made in house, so you won’t find them anywhere else! If you want your wedding to stand out and be unique, hit them up. I LOVED them all, the giant love heart sweet saying BE MINE, their ‘Little Party’ neon…. SO many to pick from. Good luck, it will be super hard to choose.

I Do Hire brought along their oversized MR & MR letters which looked incredible, as did their multi-coloured, mirror tiled backdrop complete with cool neon’s which made the perfect setting for their modern photobooth. Great for your wedding entertainment whilst making your space look awesome!

The Party

It’s not many parties where there’s a sax player accompanying a DJ. Our gorgeous Book Of Love babes Start To Finish Music do just that and so much more. They really brought the tunes throughout the day, and it was so cool to see Sam on Sax interacting and vibing with the gorgeous attendees.

I don’t know about you, but I can’t think about a party without cakes and drinks, and when it comes to your wedding you want THE BEST! At The Un-Wedding shows all the suppliers are just that, the best in the business, not only do they showcase what they can do, but they will want to chat about what they can do for you to create what you would like.

Mobile bar Tchin Tchin provide a bespoke experience and have the most gorgeous bar set ups. With an extensive selection of beers and wines, cocktails and mocktails, alongside gluten free and alcohol-free options, they can creatively create the perfect menu for you and your wedding guests to enjoy.

Leeds based Hannah’s Kitchen will bring your wedding cake vision to life! Combining wow with more WOW in Leeds was the stunning edible flowers pressed and then added to smooth buttercream which looked sensational.

See, these cakes from Hannah’s Kitchen are amazing in every way.

The talented Mary’s Cakery Makery has piping as delicious as their flavours and offered Leeds attendees tasty samples they had meticulously cut out to create their cute letters.

Combining cocktails AND cakes, YES PLEASE! Pairing boozy bakes with cocktails they can create whatever flavour you can imagine! In-spite of their gorgeous catering pod Matilda not being able to make it, that didn’t stop the incredible Bake Bar who brought along Bailey’s brownies, mulled cider apple muffins and Jamaican rum and ginger cake, these divine flavours tasted as good (if not better) than they sounded AND included gluten free options!

Based in Leeds and creating incredible custom wedding cakes, Bad Cherry Bakery showcased the perfect penis cake, perfect for so many occasions as well as their incredible black Til Death cake. Check out their instagram for delicious inspiration and to get your own cake order booked in!
