    Awww, I must have pulled the right face at him lol, but then again we were really local to him so I suppose it saved a bit of petrol?

    The hair is Lush Hair salon in Carlton, Barnsley, they were on stand 22 i think, in the corner!

    Ooh nice to see some other south Yorkshire brides! May be a silly question, but do you have to book to go to wedding fayres? Sorry, so totally new to this.

    No you just turn up. They're really good especially if you are just starting out planning, you get lots of ideas and prices. Where abouts in South Yorkshire are you?

    It depends which ones you go to though. If you go to the big organised wedding fayres, normally at big venues such as Ice sheffield then you have to pay, normally brides go free and grooms or the other person pays - between 5 Aand 8 pounds normally and brides only go free if someone is paying.

    If it is at a local venue, such as a hotel, they are free as often they are trying to sell you their venue, but you can just turn up and have a look, you dont have to be looking at the venue. Now is a good time, most are held between now and April, then again in oct/Nov for the next season so it would seem, though they do go on all year round.

    I am subscribed to 'I do' magazine and they send me emails with details of wedding fayres each week in the local area

    We liked the Brooklands when we looked round, certainly impressive. I liked the secret gardern. My OH works for Holiday inn though, so we didn't want to book a HI, because although he would get discount, he said he would feel like he was at work!

    We are in Barnsley and getting married at out local church and then onto Wortley Hall, can't wait!!

    Its lovely there! Barnsley was easier for us because OH's family is all coming from Manchester so easy to get straight off woodhead. I get married august this year.

    Aw yes that is easier....ours are coming from all over lol. We initially looked at Nostell Priory until they told us they wanted 9k just for the wedding breakfast!

    Wortley was handy because of the accomodation with it as many of our family will need to stay Smiley smile

    Hope you are enjoying planning. I almost wish ours was this august, but then im happy i still have ages to plan!
