Over 300 beautiful brands, exciting live fashion shows, inspiring educational sessions, and wonderful networking opportunities, making it an unmissable bridal destination for the bridal industry professionals. Swanky Weddings Magazine captures every moment.
From the 19-21st of March, bridal brands and buyers were in the UK’s capital of London, for the doors of the ExCeL centre to open once again for Bridal Week and the White Gallery. Over the glamorous three days, the bridal industry banded together to bring the best bridal fashion event of the year. Swanky Weddings Magazine was in attendance to capture every moment.
Over 300 brands took to the stands, hosts of trending brands in the bridal sector. The show wowed everyone with the stunning and exciting live fashion shows and the truly inspiring educational sessions and workshops. Visitors had the chance to glimpse the hottest and glamorous upcoming trends – and even went away with business advice from a range of experts, whilst browsing the stands for the latest collections to stock in their boutiques.
In the White Gallery, luxury buying was at the forefront of the event, promoting bespoke pieces of elegant design, providing cutting-edge and beautiful collections from some of the biggest designer bridal labels in the world, and joining them at the White Gallery for their debut was some fresh designers to the scene, ready to take the bridal industry by storm.
In the Fashion shows, the glitz and the glamour certainly weren’t lost. London has been long-standing in its status as a multi-cultural and diverse capital – a true inspiration for talent across the busy city, and as a staple in the fashion industry, it was only right that visitors were able to get a peek about the designs blooming into trends.
This year, the White Gallery made the decision to host its very own dedicated luxury runway, where suppliers could meet the designer and discuss the craftmanship, feel the fabrics and understand the expertise behind each collection. This year hitting the runway had a selection of UK and international brands, including 29 Atelier, Maria Pia, Seren Moda, Josephine Scott, Lalunah Bride, Inezia Chrizita, Michele Weiten, Freda Bennet, Natalya James, Louise Bentley, Louise Bentley by Kolin Weaver and Louise Bentley by Patricia Barclay.
From the Bridal Week London runway, it was highly appraised amongst the visitors as nine stunning brands hit that runway, including Rachel Allan, Dando London, Madi Lane, The Perfect Bridal Collection by Kay Heeley, Evie Young, Calla Blanche, Jeune Bridal, L’amour by Calla Blanche, Colby John, La Pearle, Kelsey Rose and Ellis Bridals.
