PLANNING your big day can be a daunting prospect – but brides-to-be can find all the help they need under one roof thanks to the Oxford Mail’s Wedding Fayre, which is being held on Sunday.

Businesses specialising in all aspects of weddings will be at the Tally Ho Hotel in Arncott, near Bicester.

There will be a fashion show featuring professional models wearing gowns from Anna McDonald Bridal Gallery, in Thame, and other exhibitors including florists, wedding planners, jewellers and entertainers.

Exhibitions manager Rachel Legg said: “This is the perfect opportunity to speak to the experts in each specialised field and get some fantastic ideas to help plan and prepare for what is the most important day of their lives.

“For anyone getting married this event is a must.

“This is the fourth fayre we will have held this year out of six and the feedback we have received is excellent. Brides-to-be tell us that the day was invaluable towards planning and offering ideas for their big day. There are experts who specialise in every area of a wedding, whether it’s for the bridal gown, honeymoon, catering or photography – everything is covered.”

The event, which has free entry and parking, runs from 11am to 3pm and all brides who register at the Oxford Mail stand will receive a free goodie bag packed with information.

Bride-to-be Victoria Rees attended one of the fayres earlier this year and she believes the event is a must.

She said: “The event was incredibly personal. The honesty of the exhibitors and their genuine interest in making our wedding day perfect was encouraging.

“All the exhibitors were willing to share their thoughts, evolve our ideas and offer practical solutions.

“The Tally Ho Wedding Fayre was so intimate and exhibitors were focused on the local market.

“An additional bonus for me was every business was local, enabling face-to-face meetings in the future.

“Being local in turn meant they had previously worked alongside each other and knew how to complement each element of the day.”
