It has always been one of our dreams to hold a fair for Bride and Breakfast and Baby and Breakfast. But just like anything you do for the first time, you can still actually get pretty nervous about it! And when it finally happened, I almost had to pinch myself seeing how it all turned out. I want to especially thank the suppliers and attendees who made the first ever Toast! A Celebrations Fair a success. Because of you guys, we are still doing imaginary cartwheels when we think about that weekend. I also want to thank our organizing partner, The Trendsetter Team, who worked tirelessly to bring you this beautiful event come to life. And of course to the whole team behind our websites, who also poured their hearts in to making sure you guys got excited about this fair as much as we did. We are definitely looking forward to the next ones to come! For now, I hope you indulge us as we share some of the highlights from this milestone!
