The Bride Show Abu Dhabi returns in February with everything a bride to be and her fashionista friends could need – local and international fashion designers will showcase their latest collections alongside hair and make up professionals, jewellers, wellbeing advisers, wedding favours, wedding planners and stunning venue operators.
A one stop shop for organising your wedding, or simply the ultimate girls’ day out, The Bride Show Abu Dhabi is the UAE capital’s largest and most sparkling fashion and beauty event, offering everyone an opportunity to sit in the front row of jaw dropping fashion shows, receive complimentary manicures, make up advice and hair styling.
L’Oreal has teamed up with Kerastase this year to bring a new hair blow dry bar for visitors, while backstage a team of their hair stylists will join forces with MAC Cosmetics to provide the hair and make up for the ten stunning catwalk models.
Visitors will be able to find out about the new L’Oreal wedding package, launched exclusively at the exhibition, and book a team of experts to provide professional hair styling for their big day.
Fashion shows of exquisite bridal gowns, evening wear and abayas will take place over four glittering days, 10th to 13th February, at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre. Under the patronage of Her Highness Sheikha Sheikha Bint Saif, wife of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan Bin Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Bride Show Abu Dhabi has become an annual fixture in the UAE fashion lovers’ diary and is the ultimate shopping event.
“The Bride Show Abu Dhabi is bringing a number of new exhibitors to the UAE capital this year and will offer everything you could imagine to make a wedding that once in a lifetime celebration,†said Lucy Clarke, Exhibition Director for The Bride Show.
“High fashion will be presented in dramatic style on the catwalk as visitors anxiously await the latest collections of bridal dress, evening wear and stunning abayasâ€.
Well-loved Lebanese television personality Claire Damaa will be at The Bride Show for the first time to exclusively launch her new range of exquisite lingerie. The collection, called Claire D, features straps of freshwater pearls, which can adapt into necklaces and bracelets, and high quality lace, silk chiffon and silk satin fabrics.
A host of one-of-a-kind prizes will be up for grabs for visitors, including four top quality diamonds given away each day of the exhibition, a designer handbag, a honeymoon to Seoul for three nights, courtesy of Visit Korea, four bridal gift cards worth 1,500dhs from Silkor Laser Medical Centre and a year’s membership to the Abu Dhabi Ladies Club worth 4,500dhs.
Doors open at 2:30pm on Wednesday 10 February and the event is open until 10:30pm every night until Saturday 13 February. Thursday 11 February is reserved for ladies only and children under 12 are not permitted. Entry fee is 10dhs.
The Bride Show Abu Dhabi will be the first must-attend event for brides-to-be and fashion-conscious women in 2010, and will be followed by The Bride Show Dubai from 7 to 10 April 2010 at the Dubai International Exhibition Centre.
