WOW!! What a Night! // Weird and Wonderful Wedding World Success!

Ali and I would like to start by saying a HUGE thank you to everyone involved in our Weird and Wonderful journey, from start to finish. Sarah from the events team at At-Bristol has been amazing, we can't thank her enough for her amazing 'can-do' attitude and unending enthusiasm - nothing we asked for phased her and she made the whole event so much easier to organise. We wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you to At-Bristol for giving us the opportunity to hold the Weird & Wonderful Wedding World Show. It's such an amazing venue and we heard great comments about it from the visitors.

Thank you to all the suppliers who believed in our vision and supported us along the way and came along, to join in the fun and to show off your Weird and Wonderful Wedding services, you were all amazing and really brought our vision together!  No matter how much organisation and planning you do, without fabulous exhibitors it all falls apart. 

Thanks to all you Weird and Wonderful brides and grooms, that were curious enough to join us in our mission to shake up your wedding planning!  We hope you went to the stars and back in our planetarium wedding catwalk, soared around the galaxy in the science exhibits throughout the centre, and indulged in the madness on the top floor!?

Thank you to all the gorgeous hair and make up artists involved on the day, as always, a pleasure to have around, you guys totally rocked our Day of the Dead show stealer!

One last thank you.. To Laura. Laura Michelle Photography (soon to be Laura Power but sssshhh more on that later!) We were going to go on about how fabulous she is, and what a brilliant photographer she is, and how amazing she was during the photo shoot and how awesome she was helping us set up all day, and then still taking loads of photos all night whilst showing off her gorgeous art installation, come wedding exhibition stand, like no other...... But then we thought, what the hell... her photos do the talking!!! 

Take a look at these beauties and tell me you don't want her at your wedding because she's the awesomest person in the world!! 

(P.S when you have finished being totally in awe of these photos theres a bit of business to attend to at the bottom!)

Professor Maelstromme is the alter Ego of artist Amanda Scrivener.  She presents a sumptuous collection of accessories, inspired by history, infused with drama and perfected in the crucible of her imagination.  Bespoke pieces are my passion and my imagination knows no bounds!  I like to call my creations demented Victoriana.  I studied jewellery design, production, metal work, silversmithing and textiles at Art College. 

I enjoy working with leather, metal, fabrics, lace, vintage artifacts to make a range of accessories including hats, spats, jewellery and belts. I am inspired by Gaslight Romance, Gothic, Steampunk and Historical places.
