East of Scotland's biggest wedding fare returns to Edinburgh, here's how to get half price tickets

If on the other hand, you’re still planning, then the New Market Road venue is the place to be.

The Edinburgh Wedding Fair, the largest and longest-running wedding event in the east of Scotland, returns to the Corn Exchange on Saturday and Sunday 8 and once again, all attendees will have the chance to enter the exclusive Wedding Wish List competition. Over 130 specially selected exhibitors, including industry experts and VOWS award-winners, will be on hand to share their expertise at the event - providing inspiration, helpful advice and unmissable offers.

Many will be offering their services completely free of charge to the couple that wins the Wedding Wish List giveaway.

Whether you’ve got your heart set on a traditional ceremony or something a little more alternative, there will be flowers, stationery and cakes to suit all tastes. Plus, designer boutiques and leading kiltmakers previewing their ranges at the three daily fashion shows at 11.45am, 1.45pm and 3.30pm daily.

With everything you need for your big day under one roof, the planning process couldn’t be easier. Browse the stalls then relax in the gin and prosecco bar and start the celebrations early.

Paul DeMarco, creator of the Edinburgh Wedding Fair says, “We’ve welcomed thousands of couples to the Edinburgh Wedding Fair since we first launched the event back in 2003, and we love hearing everyone’s unique proposal stories. 2020 is special because it’s a Leap Year, so we’re particularly excited to hear from ladies who have bucked tradition and proposed to their loved one. Of course, the Edinburgh Wedding Fair is open and welcoming to all, no matter who proposed to whom.”

To celebrate Leap Year, save 50% off tickets by entering ‘LEAP’ at the check-out.
