Bouquets, bridal dresses and balloons are just some of the attractions on offer at the Oxford Mail Wedding Fayre this weekend.

Dozens of soon-to-be brides are expected to flock to the event at the Oxford Hotel, at Wolvercote roundabout, on Sunday.

Would-be brides and grooms - as well as their family and friends - can browse stalls offering beauty treatments, wedding planning services, balloons, professional photography, limousines and bridal wear.

There will also be two fashion shows, at noon and 3pm, with models showing off wedding clothes on a catwalk.

The event, which has been running for many years, and is organised by the Oxford Mail, is the first of four wedding fayres planned by the paper during 2008.

Oxford Mail features and supplements manager Lisa Hurren said: "We will have florists, mother-of-the-bride outfitters, cake people, photographers, car hire specialists - anything and everything you could possibly want for your wedding day."

Miss Hurren added each bride visiting the fayre would also receive a free goody bag including the Oxford Mail Bride and Groom magazine, sweets, pens, balloons and beauty products.

Ms Hurren added: "There will be a whole range of dresses - from modern to traditional and everything in between.

"It's a great way to plan and prepare for the most important day of your life, with everything you need under one roof.

"The Oxford Mail Wedding Fayre is well-known across the county among future brides.

"It has been very successful in the past and continues to grow."

The event will run from 11am until 4pm, on Sunday.

Entrance to the fayre and parking are free.
