As we say 'good bye' to autumn and the countdown to Christmas truly begins, many brides may be tempted to dream of having a winter wonderland wedding.The magic of the season with Christmas trees, sparkly ornaments and the smell of mince pies creates the perfect opportunity for couples to say 'I do' in front of a cosy fireplace. See our 'Real weddings' section in our latest issue for ideas!
In the wedding world, it is the popular Love Actually Christmas Special Fayre at Bristol Zoo, that kickstarts the season of romance on Sunday, 6th December at 11am-3pm. As always, Emma and David - the organisers of the event - will welcome couples and guests with complementary mulled wine and mince pies.
From snowflake decorations and wintry motifs to delicious fruitcakes and crystal bridal accessories, Love Actually has all the suppliers you could wish for under one roof. Even Santa might stop by for a few photos. You can watch a short video from last year's event here to get a taste for what to look forward to.
Entrance to all Love Actually wedding fairs is free. In addition to this seasonal wedding fair, the organisers have also planned several events for 2016 at a range of venues across the region - find out more on our Wedding Fair Calendar page.

Love Actually Weddings will be hosting their Christmas
Special Wedding Fayre this year on 7th December 2014, 11am - 3pm at the Clifton
Pavilion, Bristol Zoo. As always with Love Actually, admission is FREE. So why
not pop along to join in with the festivities and speak to some of the best
wedding suppliers across our region? You’ll be welcomed with mulled wine and
mince pies to add to the occasion.
Having
hosted well over 100 events, you are sure to receive a very warm welcome from
Love Actually. The event organisers, David and Emma, have been meeting and greeting engaged couples
since 2008. "It's a wonderful industry to be involved in. Every week, I
get to meet excited brides and grooms eager to plan the day of their lives,
it's so lovely and makes our job all the more worthwhile," comments Emma.

Each venue has a different
selection of exhibitors giving you plenty of
options for finding the right suppliers for your special day. Love Actually Weddings can help you choose every aspect – from wedding cake and chocolate
fountain to balloons and bridalwear- and much much more.
After the
festive season, David and Emma will be hosting events across the South West,
starting at The Grand Thistle in Bristol on 4th January. They will then head
down to The Castle Hotel in Taunton (11th January) and go further south again,
hosting The Tithe Barn Wedding Fayre in Dunster (25th January) – very busy
times for the team!
