For the first time, Her Highness Sheikha Sheikha Bint Saif will cut the ribbon to open the four-day long fashion, beauty and shopping extravaganza which brings together wedding industry professionals, brides-to-be and fashionistas under one roof.
After touring the Sheikh Saeed exhibition halls, Her Highness Sheikha Sheikha will be treated to a private fashion show from exclusive Bangkok-based bridal boutique After You Say Yes – SIMA. Owned by Khunying Sasima Srivikorn, whose family owns the InterContinental Hotel in the Thai capital, the wedding boutique is taking part in The Bride Show Dubai for the first time.
Following the official launch, The Bride Show Dubai will be unveiled to the general public at 2:30pm with more than 300 local and international exhibitors providing a one-stop-shop for brides planning their wedding and girls who love fashion, beauty and jewellery.
Visitors will have a chance to see the exquisite bridal designs from After You Say Yes – SIMA in the first official public fashion show of the event at 5:00pm on the opening day. Thereafter, fashionistas will be treated to runway shows by Dabya Haute Couture at 6:00pm, Beautiful People – Sakina Mohsin at 7:00pm, Meena Rose Haute Couture at 8:00pm and Demetrios at 9:00pm.
The Bride Show Dubai has undergone a makeover for 2011. Sitting alongside the 18 fashion shows are the exclusive VIP Lounge and international Fashion Avenue, both of which offer brides to be, their friends and family something different to experience.
For AED50, shoppers can access the VIP Lounge to take advantage of top treatments from Tips and Toes, the largest chain of nail salons in the Middle East. Trained beauty technicians will offer rejuvenation in the form of head, neck and shoulder massages, nail colour changes, nail art and mini facials.
Those who choose to pay the VIP entrance may also enjoy goodie bags filled with exhibitor products, light refreshments as well as reserved front row seating for all the fashion shows.
Fashion Avenue will feature wedding retailers from Italy, France, Morocco, Romania, India, Thailand, the UK and USA, all of which are flying into Dubai to meet brides to be and their families and showcase their finest bridal gowns and accessories. Visitors will have an exclusive opportunity to browse designs from The Italian Wedding, Julien Mattion and Curti, all from Italy, as well as French brands Farage, Promincor and La Maison Saouli.
