Something new at the Argyll Wedding Show

-

EVERYTHING you could need for the Big Day was there - from wedding dresses to music and from venues to photograph­ers.

The fifth Argyll Wedding Show arrived in Lochgilphe­ad on Sunday March 18, as 25 exhibitors from across Argyll and Bute set up their stalls in the joint campus - with guests from Fort William and Renfrew adding to the variety on show.

A steady stream of brides and grooms-tobe came along as exhibitors reported good business on the day.

Mid Argyll models were on hand to display the latest wedding day styles, while music was provided by Dunoon band Acoustic Soundz and Connor Honeyball on the pipes. Delicious food offered a tempting alternativ­e to the wedding finery, courtesy of Argyll Hog Roasts from Ardfern.

The event is supported by the Scottish Wedding Directory, meaning all those who attend will receive a free copy of the magazine.

‘Everyone seemed to pick up business,’ said organiser Linda Maxwell.

‘For example, each of the photograph­ers reported they received orders for three to four weddings at the show.’

‘We had a great variety of exhibitors and products, and everyone has been very positive.’

Look out for the next instalment of the Ar- gyll Wedding Show at Dunoon Gram- mar School on Sun- day March 25 - 11am to 4pm. Admission is free.
