A Dry Hire Wedding Venue Filled With The Possibility Of Anything. And The Amazing Suppliers Who Showcased It To The Max!
WOW WOW WOW Liverpool, you really did welcome us in with open arms. Our debut event in the city, is one we will LOVE FOREVER!
On Sunday 14th April 2024, we took over not one, but two gorgeous blank canvas spaces. Our carefully curated selection of suppliers didn’t just bring their A-game, they brought the whole goddam alphabet and then some! So a mahoosive thank you to all of them, as well as our wonderful attendees for the amazing atmosphere throughout the show.
The Venue.
If you are looking for a wedding venue to WOW your guests then this versatile space is THE place for you to book!
Scale is a total a vibe! With its exposed brick walls, high ceilings, big windows, and wooden floor, the warehouse-style venue gives cool, New York loft apartment style. It’s perfect whether you want a sit down meal or a good old knees up! The beautiful summer tablescape installation was designed and imagined by Spark Alice. It was brought to life alongside the dream team ensemble of Mariel Osborn’s stunning streamer backdrop, which was adorned with one of the incredible Tara Collette Handmade Banners and Mary Mary with her gorgeous floral wedding inspo. Not only did it look fucking gorgeous but the atmosphere was enhanced by Wedding Jam’s Inner City Voices, which attendees LOVED listening to, as they relaxed in our styled cafe bar whilst having a drink and soaking in the Pinterest-worthy paradise!
The summer tablescape installation was absolutely stunning, designed and brought to life by the talented Spark Alice. The dream team ensemble, featuring the floral genius Mary Mary Floral Design, the streamer extraordinaire Mariel Osborn and the incredible Tara Collette Handmade Banners.
Inspiration at every angle including these gorgeous ribbon details on the taper candles.
Perfectly chosen and placed soft florals were the perfect contrast for the wooden table and the warehouse, loft style venue.
And let's talk about the vibes - Wedding Jam’s Inner City Voices were on point, creating the perfect backdrop for attendees to kick back, relax in our styled cafe bar, and soak in all that inspirational goodness. With a back catalogue of everything from The Jackson 5 to Adele, the atmosphere was buzzing, and everyone was loving every moment of it!

As for Fabric Studios downstairs, well it has THE infinity cove of dreams, that will make your jaw drop and everything within it POP! Can you imagine how gorgeous it would be to have your wedding ceremony in there and then head upstairs to Scale to party! And let's talk about Mariel Osborn - the mastermind behind the most fabulous shimmery tassel bunting you've ever seen! Can we just take a moment to appreciate the coolest canopy she created for us to party under? Let's just say, she's the queen of sparkles and we're here for it all!

Taco or Don’t were dishing out free Taco tasters all afternoon... meat, vegan + gluten-free options and I cannot begin to express how good they tasted!
How cool is the presentation of the delicious tasters from Taco or Don’t!

The Flowers.
A special shoutout has to be given to the fabulous florists at the show who totally knocked our socks off with their unique and artistic florals.
It's moments like these that remind us why we're head over heels for the world of floristry. Major props to Mary Mary Floral Design, Esther Thorn and Arta’s Flowers for their awe-inspiring creations that left us all in floral fantasy land.
These florists are different in their styles and approach, but let me tell you, they were all creating floral goals! The florals and displays they brought to the table were so incredibly stunning that people were literally asking, "Are those even real?!”
The styling, the flow of colour and blooms, the mirror…. we LOVED everything about this Mary Mary Floral Design

Style.
Encouraging you to make your own traditions on your wedding day is exactly what the Un-Wedding is all about, so it goes without saying that what you want to wear on your wedding day is SO personal - as it should be. We were spoilt in Liverpool by the pieces showcased by The Aisle Edit and L.O.M.
L.O.M fashion is a paradise of colour and pattern. Louise’s unique and instantly recognisable designs are to die for. In contrast there was The Aisle Edit’s gorgeous curated collection of all things bridal in neutral colours adorned with pearls and sparkles.
Nearlyweds, whether you’ve got your outfit or not, you are going to want to check out their pieces - but good luck choosing just one!
SO much gorgeousness from L.O.M

Capturing your wedding day.
When it comes to choosing a wedding photographer, it's crucial to vibe not only with their style but with them as a person too. After all, they'll be shadowing you on one of the most significant days of your life. No worries when you opt for an Un-Wedding photographer though, they're as awesome as they come. We had the absolute pleasure of seeing the individual styles and meeting the gorgeous individuals behind Belles + Confetti, Amy Faith Photography, Olivia Whittaker Photography, and the stellar team at Stella Photography who all showcased in Liverpool.
