BRIDES-to-be can plan their perfect day with the help of the professionals at an event staged by the Oxford Mail this weekend.

Our latest wedding fair will bring together a host of dressmakers, photographers, cake-makers and florists to help brides make the right choices.

It takes place at the Tally Ho Hotel in Ploughley Road, Bicester, from 11am to 3pm on Sunday. Entry and parking is free.

Every bride will receive a goody bag, which includes a voucher for 50 per cent off exclusive use of the hotel for your wedding.

Guests will also be entered into a free prize draw, with the hotel offering free use of its facilities for a wedding as first prize, and a meal for two in the restaurant.

Models will show off a selection of dresses at various fashion shows throughout the day. Clothes will be from the Anna McDonald Bridal Gallery and The Bridal House.

A range of chocolates and wines will be on offer for tastings, with chocolate making demonstrations running throughout the event.

Free cupcakes await guests, while — to fully capture the day and make sure nothing has been missed — brides-to-be will also get a free disposable camera.

Rachel Legg, sales manager at the Oxford Mail, said: “The Oxford Mail Wedding Fair is an excellent way to plan the most important day of your life. Each bride will take home all the literature they need, a range of free samples and invaluable advice from some of the top professionals in the wedding industry.
