A spokesman for the organisation said: “For the second year running our fair was a resounding success, with more than 50 brides and almost 200 people in total visiting.”

The event, which allows businesses within the wedding industry to showcase their services, included fashion shows with commentary provided by BBC Bristol’s radio and TV personality Jemma Cooper and live music from guitarists, a string quartet and a harp player.

The fair is Portishead Wedding Network’s main annual event. To find out more about the network visit www.pwn weddings.co.uk
