    Oh I love them!!! I drag hubs to them all. We like to be able to recommend. I have found photographers to be the biggest and the most difficult to choose because there are so many. But, I do have 3 now that I would recommend without a thought. I'm viewing my daughters shots of 1 of them later today.

    Next Manchester one is in October.

    You may have local ones going on too, check with the big wedding venues in your area, or ask at a wedding dress shop, they generally know whats going on and where.

    Baldrick, does it have to be this way? Our valued friendship ending with me cutting you up into strips and telling the prince that you walked over a very sharp cattle grid in an extremely heavy hat?

    Bigmomma beat me to it as I was going to post the same link.

    I need to visit a few myself as I would like a few more contacts so I may go to the one at Jury's Inn on Broad Street, Bham on 23 May.

    Wedding Fairs can be fun - its exhibiting at them that is a complete pain in the bottom. I can't wait til next year as I want to the Designer Civil Partnership Show in London which will be fab.

    I found that all the ones local to me (Lincolnshire) were really small and quite disappointing. They all had lods of different bridal gown designers there, but once i had my dress, i couldn't find anything else :(

    tried to get hubby to take me to the one at NEC in birmingham, but he said he didn't know if he'd make it to the wedding if I dragged him to the fayre, so we didn't go.

    Next time i go, i'll be going with a stall - scary!! :):)
