Planning a wedding can feel a bit like being handed a giant box of traditions, expectations and “shoulds” wrapped in pastel pink ribbon. But here’s the truth: your wedding doesn’t need to fit inside anyone else’s box. It doesn’t even need to have a box. It just needs to feel like you, your love story, your vibe, your rules.
At Quirky Weddings, we believe weddings should be bold, inclusive, sustainable, non-
judgmental, joy-filled celebrations of individuality. And that’s exactly what our fayres are
designed to help you discover. So, if you’re ready to plan a wedding that’s authentically, unapologetically YOU, here’s how to get started…
1. Forget the Rulebook (Yes, Really)
The quickest way to feel overwhelmed is by trying to do things “the proper way.” Spoiler alert: there is no proper way. Whether you want an outfit that sparkles like a disco ball, vow readings from your favourite video game, or your dog as the ring-bearer… it’s all fair game.
At our Quirky Wedding Fayres, you’ll meet suppliers who love breaking the mould. Florists who work with reclaimed blooms, cake makers who sculpt edible art, celebrants who encourage you to write vows that sound like real humans talking, you know, all the good stuff.
2. Build a Team Who Gets You
Your wedding team should be people who don’t just tolerate your ideas but celebrate them.
Whether your vibe is celestial, gothic, neon-pop, boho-eco, retro rainbow, or something
unlabeled entirely, the right suppliers will help you bring that vision to life without judgment or raised eyebrows.
And the easiest way to find them? Yup one of our fayres.
Every event is packed with inclusive, creative, sustainable-minded businesses who embrace all identities, all styles, all love stories and all levels of quirk. They’re the kind of people who hear your idea and say, “Ooh, yes let’s make that magic.”
3. Let Your Venue Set the Tone
Your venue doesn’t just hold your wedding, it shapes the entire experience. Want woodland
vows? Industrial romance? A festival-style celebration complete with glitter, food trucks and live music? A low-waste micro-wedding in a light-filled studio?
Our fayres feature unique venues from all over the UK. Converted barns, art spaces, eco-friendly hideaways, quirky halls, and everything in between. When you find a venue that makes your heart skip, the rest of your planning tends to click into place.
4. Create Meaningful Moments (Not Instagram Moments)
It’s tempting to plan with social media in mind, but the moments that stick, the ones you’ll
remember on your tenth anniversary, are the ones that feel genuine.
Think:
✨ Writing private vows before the ceremony
✨ A playlist of songs that shaped your relationship
✨ Handcrafted décor or repurposed items that tell your story
✨ A ceremony that includes your cultural background, fandoms, or shared hobbies
And yes, these meaningful touches can still look incredible on camera. Win-win.
5. Make Sustainability Stylish
A wedding that feels like you can (and should!) also feel kind to the planet. At our fayres, you’ll find suppliers who specialise in low-waste florals, repurposed décor, hire-instead-of-buy setups, slow fashion, upcycled accessories, and conscious catering.
Sustainable doesn’t mean boring. It means thoughtful, beautiful, and often wonderfully creative.
6. Keep Joy at the Heart of It All
Your wedding planning journey should feel joyful, not stressful, judgment-filled, or
overwhelming. If something makes you laugh, squeal, or get a little sparkly-eyed, it probably
belongs in your day.
And that’s why our fayres exist: to surround you with inspiration, real talk, supportive suppliers, and the freedom to explore what feels right for you.
