Exchanging your wedding vows in a 150-year-old British-themed garden beside the Haihe River can help create memories that last a lifetime, according to The Astor Hotel, Tianjin.

The historic hotel cooperated with wedding consultancy Nice Wedding this month to stage the "Midsummer Night's Dream" 2014 Wedding Show in its Victorian Lounge.

Hundreds of prospective brides and grooms witnessed a night wedding ceremony in the peaceful British-style garden and browsed the indoor wedding show.

"It is the first time we have presented a wedding fair at night, which fits the Tianjin marriage customs and better promotes our brand and elegance," said Joycee Li, The Astor Hotel's marketing and communications manager.

Several high-end wedding dress and wine brands, such as Jin Bridals, took part in the event.
