Our Weekend At The National Wedding Show - Part 1

After a very busy but successful weekend at The National Wedding Show in Birmingham it was back to the farm on Monday to get all the orders out in traditional tip top fashion. With a few cups of coffee and a bit of teamwork this is exactly what we did, so tomorrow we’re looking forward to a well-deserved lie-in. As for last weekend it was all about confetti, bunting and our brand new SP t-shirts as we headed off the The National Wedding Show! Here’s a snippet of how we got on…  

From Friday to Sunday the Shropshire Petals team were working hard promoting our natural petal confetti to hundreds of excited brides and grooms who had travelled the length and breadth of the country for this wonderful event!

So, with our stand all set up and loaded with colourful confetti we took our places and got on with the show!

Friday got off to a flying start and gave us the opportunity to speak to lots of brides, grooms, bridesmaids, mothers, sisters and a few very excited flower girls about their confetti needs! Our free confetti samples went down a treat and of course all future flower girls got a handful of confetti from the flower girl basket to practice their throwing skills! It was great to help everybody find the perfect confetti to match their special day!

Saturday was by far the busiest day of the weekend with lots of people coming to visit our stand. After speaking to everyone about their plans for the big day it was great to see how enthusiastic they all were about using natural confetti in their celebrations.

We used an old printing press filled with confetti as a guide for everyone looking for a sample. It was a great way for our visitors to have a quick look at which mix would match or complement their colour scheme! We’re glad to say it was loved by all!

Sunday! The final day of the wedding show and another busy one! By the last day we’d spoken to lots of couples all with wonderful ideas for the big day. We’d also drummed up lots of entries for our fab confetti competition. One lucky couple will win over £100 pounds worth of confetti for their wedding day! Up for grabs is a Shropshire Box full of confetti to match their colour scheme, 1 litre of Larger Petal Confetti, 1 litre of Delphinium and Wildflower Confetti, a medium Wheat Sheaf and a Lavender Bunch! Everything you need to get that wow factor confetti shot on the day!

We think it's safe to say that the weekend was a huge success! Everyone seemed really interested in our products and it was good for us to get an insight into what confetti colours seemed popular for the year to come... If I had to guess I'd say blue is going to be big this year! Our 'Something Blue' confetti was a huge hit!
