The Shuttle/Times and News Truly, Madly, Deeply exhibition at Stone Manor Hotel on Sunday was hailed as the best yet, attracting more than 250 brides to-be from across the country.

The exhibition, which has soared in popularity in the past four years, included a fashion show and various stands promoting a host of wedding services.

These included car hire, photography, floral arrangements, cakes, bridal wear and intricate accessories to make the big day something to remember.

People also flocked to the event to enter the free prize draw, where they stood the chance of winning a wedding gown worth up to £1,000 from Kidderminster bridalwear store, 2 Have & 2 Hold.

Other prizes included a wedding cake up to the value of £500 from The Cake Lady, in Stourport and a stunning tiara, worth up to £200, from Daisy Chain, Kidderminster.

She said: "I was delighted by the response this year. We saw more than 250 brides-to-be which is an increase on last year.

"I'd like to thank the people who donated the prizes, particularly the £1,000 wedding dress, which helped to draw in the crowds."
