WOW London you were an absolute dream! The vibes were set right from the start as attendees were welcomed into the bright space to be greeted with the most gorgeous florals from FILTH and the coolest photo booth opportunity, whilst sipping on a glass of The Emissary fizz, and let me tell you, the mood was instantly infectious! Honestly, it’s not just the sunshine (yes, despite the cold, we had sun!) that lights up The Un-Wedding Show - it’s our incredible suppliers that steal the show, time and time again.
This year, we took over Kachette for the very first time, and what a blank canvas it was! We turned those amazing arches into something straight out of a dream, with the most incredible props and neons from Vowed and Amazed and My Colour Is Gold - talk about bringing the wow-factor! And let’s not forget Streamadelica’s epic gold streamers that glittered and gleamed, making everything shine just a little bit brighter. It was all pure magic!
Our curated selection of handpicked suppliers didn’t just hit it out of the park—they sent it flying into another galaxy! But the real magic? It was all thanks to our amazing attendees, whose energy and excitement matched the vibe, making the whole event truly unforgettable!
There’s nothing better than watching the sparks fly as attendees and suppliers meet face-to-face, creating real-life connections and pure wedding-planning joy. The Un-Wedding is all about those high-energy, feel-good moments where you can vibe with the talent and get totally inspired by the incredible people behind the brands, ready to bring your Un-Wedding vision to life.
The highlight? Seeing that mutual excitement when suppliers and attendees connect in person. It’s absolute magic watching those relationships bloom, with high-energy vibes buzzing throughout the venue. The Un-Wedding is all about giving couples the chance to meet the creative minds behind the brands, and helping them plan the most unique, unforgettable wedding ever!
Florals
Florals took centre stage at Kachette, The spaces were filled with flowers so stunning you had to do a double-take to check if they were real! And vice-versa with the ones that weren’t real 🤯
The Un-Wedding Show was blessed with stunning arrangements that truly wowed everyone! Sweet Pea Sorbet Florals, Filth Florist, Flower Hamlet, Stem and Stem, Bathtub Florals, and Catherine Short Floral Design showcased a dazzling mix of vibrant hues, fresh textures, and imaginative designs. If you’re a fan of dried flowers, The Brighton Florist and Loves Story: Dried Flowers demonstrated how to beautifully incorporate preserved blooms into any setting. Each floral display was a work of art, providing endless inspiration for every season! Seriously, if you were there, you know the floral magic was real!
The Party
Now, let’s talk about bringing the PARTY to your wedding! Attendees travelled through the path of the ever awesome LOVE letters and neon signs, where we had our own DJ on the decks behind THE coolest DJ booth, all from My Colour Is Gold, And if that wasn't enough, Vowed & Amazed brought in their bold, large-scale props, perfect for a show-stopping wedding setup! Meanwhile, guests were sipping on all kinds of fabulous drinks - The Emissary poured sparkling glasses of prosecco, Off The Wall brought their wild beer up glasses and impressive wall of drinks, and Rythmik shook things up with their delicious bottled cocktails (hello, perfect wedding favour idea!). It was a full-on celebration!

Attendees were fortunate to connect with some of the best photographers in the industry.
