Hundreds of brides-to-be will be heading for Ashton Gate tomorrow for the Post's West Weddings Show.

The home of Bristol City Football Club will host the rapidly growing event, at which experts can guide couples and their families towards their big day as smoothly as possible.

Wedding gowns, flowers, rings and cakes will all be featured in the exhibition hall.

Hairdressers, photographers, car hire firms and stationers will also be at the show, which is one of two now held every year.

The event brings together under one roof all the specialists who make weddings so special, from caterers and hotels to masters of ceremony, men's outfitters and travel firms who can organise the honeymoon.

Those attending will also have the chance to enter a series of competitions to win a wedding dress, rings, a cake and flowers.

Last August's West Weddings Show was the biggest and best yet – and tomorrow's event is billed as being even bigger and better, with more stands and, the organisers hope, more visitors.

Hair stylists will be giving tips on bridal hair and make-up artists will give free make-overs to brides-to-be.

Goodie bags containing beauty products and a free magazine, together with a welcome toast, will be handed out to the first 500 guests.

There will also be a catwalk show during the event, which runs from 10.30am to 4.30pm.

Show organiser Lucy Ibrahim said there is always a big queue of people waiting to get in when the doors open so a busy day is expected.

Entry is £3 and parking is free.
