Most Curious is the wedding show for the style-savvy couple. For those with creativity in their hearts and a finger on the fashion/cultural/zeitgeist pulse, this is the show for you.
We’ve been supporting this visionary and innovative show since it was birthed into reality by founder Becky Hoh-Hale – around what must be a decade ago now. Every year, Becky scouts and spotlights incredible new talent, fascinating niche suppliers and brilliant creative businesses through the Most Curious show. And she does so through the compassionate optics of someone trying to do her very best to create a diverse and inclusive show.
We’re handing the rest of this article over to Becky herself so that she can introduce some of this year’s exhibiting talent and share some of the vibes for what lies in store for those attending. It’s going to be a belter of a show – it always, always is. So over to you Becky!
