Love is in the air on the weekend of October 11th & 12th when the South West's premier wedding show returns to Westpoint Arena, Exeter.

Bride: The Wedding Show, organised by Archant Bride, is a fabulous day out for prospective Brides and Grooms, friends and families who want to plan the perfect wedding with the help of more than 130 of the finest regional and national wedding suppliers. From venues to photographers, florists to designers, caterers to cars, stylists to entertainers, the show hosts all the experts you need to create the day of your dreams.

The choreographed catwalk shows which are known as the best in the industry, take place three times daily at 11.30am, 1.15pm and 3pm. As well as showcasing the latest fashions for the brides, bridesmaids, team groom and guests, they are guaranteed to have the crowd laughing and clapping with great music and dancing. Designs on the catwalk include gowns from Kate Walker, The Ivory Secret, Pirouette, Sassi Holford and Serenity, ideas for the mother of the bride will be showcased by The Dressing Room, and there's menswear from Lugets, Moss and Jonathan Hawkes. Occasionwear from John Lewis will provide inspiration to the whole wedding party too.

There's entertainment from the likes of magician Dan Brazier, The Exe Valley String Quartet, harpist Susan Sherratt, a casino and award-winning artist Charlotte Atkinson will be exhibiting and painting live scenes from the show. Charlotte is renowned for uniquely evoking the elegance and style of a wedding dress in an original watercolour.

Hair and beauty exhibitors will be on hand to give top tips and advice and there's a stylish champagne bar and a Land Rover converted into a cocktail bar. The Wedding Wishing Well Foundation, the charity which organises and funds weddings for terminally-ill people, will have a stand to explain their work.

This year's venue exhibitors include fairytale castles, city centre hotels, waterside luxury, rural retreats, a golf club and the newest wedding venue in the South West, Bridwell Park - the Grade I listed home of Lord Ivar Mountbatten.

All brides who visit will receive a free copy of South West Bride magazine and an official show guide and the first 200 brides through the door on each day will receive a free goody bag.

Joanne Goodwin of show organisers Archant Bride says: "Bride: The Wedding Show is a great day out whether you're planning a girlie outing with your bridesmaids or a go-see with your husband-to-be or parents. There are dozens of inspirational exhibitors, food to taste, music and magic and a catwalk show that is pure fun from start to finish - everyone from grans to youngsters love it and lots of visitors stay to see at least two, if not three of the shows. Our exhibitors are the best in their field and we are delighted to be supporting the The Wedding Wishing Well Foundation this year."

"This great weekend at Westpoint is the best way to meet and support local wedding industry businesses. Weddings are very personal; you need to get to know your planner, your caterer, your dress shop and photographer and Bride: The Wedding Show is the best starting point. We aim to make it the best day of your life together...until the big day actually arrives of course."
