EVERYTHING to make that special day perfect was on show at the Gazette's popular wedding fair.
Blushing brides to be, would-be grooms, mothers of the bride and bridesmaids were all catered for at the record-breaking event staged at Charter Hall in Colchester.
Wedding caterers, cars, flowers, photographers, hair stylists and dress makers all showcased their skills.
Wedding fashions were shown off on two catwalk shows at the event which was sponsored by East Mersea Hall.
Happy couples also had the chance to win a wedding worth £12,000 by taking part in a special Gazette prize draw.
