... and love is in the air! This week there is a spring wedding fair, so I will be bringing you all the scenes from it for the next 7 days.

Julian and Toby hire out wedding cars. Gregor and Kirsty take a look. Julian is showing them this luxurious limousine.

I'm.singing at an actual human wedding tomorrow. I'll be channelling my inner Playmo.

SoMuchToBits · 30/05/2025 10:52

That's all today's photos! I will be back with rather a large number of photos tomorrow! But I probably won't start posting until later in the morning, as my sister will still be here until then. (She has gone out now to meet up with someone she knows).

I'm now looking forward to lunch with @petalpower ! Smile

Enjoy lunch 🙂

FuzzyCaoraDhubh · 30/05/2025 11:15

So many hats! They all made brilliant choices!
Enjoy lunch!

SoMuchToBits · 30/05/2025 11:27

Thank you! I did have rather a lot of fun with the hats! As usual, all comments are gratefully received. Smile

I hope we get to see all these hat purchases at the wedding later in the year. Do love a hat at a wedding!

ChessieFL · 30/05/2025 11:51

The hat sellers have had a good day today! Hope they work on commission!

SoMuchToBits · 30/05/2025 14:24

Lunch was lovely! I thought of Kirsty and Gregor when petalpower asked for mayonnaise with the chips! Grin

Some very snazzy hats being tried on today!

LlynTegid · 30/05/2025 18:36

Much more tasteful outfits than at most weddings!

SoMuchToBits · 30/05/2025 19:57

I'm pleased that people liked the hats! And the food truck and makeup artist. You will have to brace yourselves for tomorrow's grand finale, as I have so many photos! But as I said earlier, I will be posting slightly later than usual, probably around 10 am. Smile

I used to work on the hat counter in BHS as my Saturday job ( Waaay back when - late 1970s - when they actually sold hats !) lots of people would buy them for weddings.. I loved it !! ( Heck I am getting old ,!!)
Brilliant hat stall , @SoMuchToBits took me way back ..
Excited for tomorrow !

JewelleryCat · 30/05/2025 20:24

Tomorrow is the grand finale? That’s a shame because it’s been lovely to have this every day 🙂

SoMuchToBits · 30/05/2025 21:08

Haha @Laska2Meryls it sounds like you are roughly the same age as me! Grin
@JewelleryCat well all good things must come to an end as they say. Although there will always be future Playmo threads. I just hope you enjoy tomorrow! Smile

I will enjoy tomorrow, I always enjoy the Playmo threads. They are a bit of light in this world

SoMuchToBits · 30/05/2025 21:30

@JewelleryCat thank you! That's what we aim for. I'm so looking forward to tomorrow, I don't usually sing my own praises, but I actually think I've done well with tomorrow's offerings.

@petalpower knows all about this, she was in on this idea from its conception, which actually started with what you will see tomorrow. And then grew into the whole wedding fair (which was then supposed to be 4 days of a long weekend but ended up massive!).

Actually huge thanks to petal who has been my RL support as ever with my Playmo planning. She listens to all my ideas, adds some (very good ones) of her own and is just so encouraging with all my projects. I couldn't have a better friend. She's the sort of person you would find in Playmoland really! Smile

JewelleryCat · 30/05/2025 22:05

Then I need a petalpower in Playmoland! Also, and only if you’d like too, would you show us the magician you ordered when it’s arrived?

SoMuchToBits · 30/05/2025 22:09

Petalpower would fit right into Playmoland! Yes, I'll post a photo of the magician when he arrives. Smile

Awww thank you 🙂 a magician will fit right in!

petalpower · 31/05/2025 09:03

Thank you @SoMuchToBits - what a lovely thing to say!

SoMuchToBits · 31/05/2025 09:05

You are very welcome @petalpower !

And now it's the final day of the wedding fair. Today there is a bridal fashion show, with designs of every sort for brides, grooms, bridesmaids and flower girls and even the occasional page boy!

First on the catwalk is Magdalena, who wears an empire line dress with a pink trim. She is accompanied by Catrin in a pale pink dress with bow detail.

Magdalena carries a bouquet of pink and white roses, while Catrin has a white basket the same roses.

Aurelia wears a satin dress with a lace overlay to the bodice, and a simple string of pearls. She carries a bouquet of mixed red and white roses. Drake cuts a dashing figure in a smart suit.
