This will include displays from the local flower group, bouquets from nearby stores and wedding outfits from as early as 1800 on show, as well as bridal gowns used by Bromsgrove MP Julie Kirkbride and BBC Midlands Today presenter Suzanne Virdee.
The gowns will also be on display from 12midday until 4pm on Monday, when the village's popular May Day festivities also take place in the church's grounds and in the Community Hall.
This will include Maypole dancing, a children's fancy dress parade, pig roast, stalls, games and inflatables.
