Wedding Shows around Bristol and Somerset
Why visit a wedding show? They are time savers and the wedding show season is the perfect opportunity to meet a large selection of wedding services face to face in a single day. These shows are usually held at venues licensed for marriages, however a recent development was the launch of The Wedding and Fine Events Show at the Royal Bath and West Showground in Somerset. You can save yourself time by going to a wedding show where everything you will need is to hand. Apart from bridal shops and photography studios, wedding services are not usually found on the High Street. Here are some spring and autumn wedding shows to look out for.
The Webbington Hotel and Spa on 5th September 2010 hosted by Wedding Whispers. Opens at 10.30am to 4pm and you can buy one ticket and get another free when you book online before the 15th August 2010.
The next Wedding and Fine Events Show at the Bath and West Showground in Shepton Mallet is on 26th and 27th March 2011. Discover more of everything at the largest 2 day wedding event in Somerset. See Wedding Whispers at The Wedding and Fine Events Show, to find out more about the show visit the official website
Wedding Venues and Exclusive Use.
Exclusive use means that your wedding is the only one that day. Smaller country house venues such as Compton House in Axbridge offer the couple exclusive use. Larger venues can and will hold up to three weddings on the same day during peak season. If you don't want to share your day with anyone else, book an out of season or midweek wedding, or choose a venue which can only do one wedding a day.
Wedding Venues and Extras!
Many venues have an 'all inclusive' packages which give you a good idea of how much it will all cost, however some venues charge extra for hiring table linen and furniture so ask about this before you book. See our planning guide for more about wedding venues
Wedding Ideas and Money Savings.
Many venues offer you a discount if you book a midweek or Sunday wedding. It is worth the enquiry and it could save you pounds if you go ahead. Weekday weddings are becoming very popular with couples who want to save a bit of cash. See the discounts and offers page for more wedding discount ideas.
There is a very relaxed feel to the traditional wedding breakfast nowadays and afternoon tea is becoming a fashionable alternative along with a pig roast or homecooked buffet in the evening for all your guests. Afternoon tea parties are popular and if you are looking for a single solution for vintage china hire, very nice cup cakes and cottage garden flowers visit www.poppygreens.co.uk
