BRIDES-TO-BE turned out in force for an hotel's bride of the year show.

The Spread Eagle Hotel in the Cornmarket, Thame, hosted its annual Bride of the Year on Sunday, which also featured a fashion show with models parading through the refurbished banqueting suite at the hotel.

There were 120 brides present throughout the day and a winner will be chosen from the 30 hopefuls who entered for the bride of the year competition.

Hotel proprietor Sarah Barrington said it would be a tough choice to choose the winner.

She said "We are looking at the bride who has just those extra qualities like personality and charm."

She added: "The day went very well."
