EXHIBITORS are putting the finishing touches to their stands for the Oxford Mail’s Wedding Fayre and Bridal Fashion Show on Sunday.

Wedding dress designers, photographers and florists are among the companies taking part at The Tally Ho Hotel, Ploughley Road, Arncott, near Bicester.

A total of 22 exhibitors will be at the fayre – the second of six this year– running from 11am to 3pm.

Companies specialising in essentials including accessories, cakes, hair, honeymoons, music and entertainment, as well as marquees, menswear and cars, will be on hand to offer inspiration to couples and help brides-to-be plan their special day.

Two fashion shows, featuring professional models showcasing wedding dresses by Thame-based Anna McDonald Bridal Gallery, will begin at 11.30am and 1.30pm.

Mrs McDonald said: “The dresses are all different, they are unique.

“I’ve got some off the shoulder ones and one with a very long coat. Fish tail is very ‘in’ at the moment, which shows off your figure.

“I think girls are going for the more subtle designs. I have a mixture, a bit of everything. I’ve got something for everyone.”

Parking and entry is free, and visitors can start their day with a complimentary wine tasting on arrival.

They will also receive a free goodie bag with leaflets, offers and a copy of Bride and Groom Oxfordshire, a glossy magazine packed with everything needed to plan the big day.

Oxford Mail exhibition manager Rachel Legg said: “Along with that and the goody bag, brides-to-be will receive a wedding gift box from the Tally Ho Hotel entitling them to some great offers, such as a free disco, chair covers and sashes if they book your wedding at the Tally Ho in 2011 or 2012 at the fayre on Sunday.”

People who register at the welcome desk will be entered in a free prize draw, where prizes include exclusive use of the Tally Ho Hotel for your wedding in 2011 worth £1,800.

The next Oxford Mail Wedding Fayre will be on April 25 at the Witney Lakes Resort.
