There's lots of great wedding fairs and events coming up in the Bristol area.

Sunday 10th March, also know as Mothers Day...don't forget now!) sees some of the South Wests' top vintage wedding suppliers head to Clifton Pavillion at Bristol Zoo to attend the annual Bristol Vintage Wedding Fair. It is an invitation only event for suppliers which guarantees a top quality selection of products and services on offer for the discerning bride who wants a pretty vintage inspired day.

The fair is organised by Bristol Vintage who specialise in organising vintage events and hiring out gorgeous vintage tableware and props such as original Babycham glasses and pretty china. The organisers say,

"Exhibitors will be displaying original, vintage items as well as vintage inspired pieces.
The Fair will appeal to brides who want a full vintage wedding, and to those who just want something that little bit special."
