Young girls have always been known to fantasize about their wedding, years before their time, and the bride show held in Dubai brought the wedding fever to life. The week-long event was held in the Dubai World Trade Centre from the 6th<\/sup>to the 9th<\/sup>of February 2019. It did not just cater to brides-to-be, but for the little girl inside all the female visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This once in a lifetime experience was held to give all the visitors the fantasy they dreamed of. Visitor Laila Malek said \u201cI think most of the people here aren\u2019t even getting married, but it\u2019s a nice experience. I came to see something new.\u201d A raffle ticket was handed out with each entry ticket purchase; also noted that part of the proceeds is donated to The People of Determination. \u201cIt\u2019s nice to be recognized in something unexpected like a bridal show for the disabled people,\u201d Lina Makhlouf, a disabled woman said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bride show allowed designers to showcase their latest designs on the floral runway. It also gave non-bridal designers the chance to sell their garments in the many stands that surrounded the main stage. Upon entry, your eyes glisten to the shimmering diamond accessories, glassed in all the stands. In appreciation of the Gulf woman, many designers displayed their abayas to sell their \u2018one of a kind\u2019 designs. The most overcrowded stands were the ones selling wedding dresses. \u201cI loved the fashion shows, particularly the wedding gowns. That was my favorite part yes. And no I was a bride seven years ago\u201d Thuraya Salem, a visitor said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Kuwaiti influencers like Noha Nabil and Dana Tuwarish were there to share fashion and beauty tips. The popular nail salon Tips and Toes was also hosting talks and presentations on beauty tips for the future brides, on each day of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exhibitors took the time to give out pamphlets, vouchers, and exclusive offers on their products. As the website stated and delivered, there were items from \u201cbridal, evening wear, cakes, photography, honeymoon, perfumes, jewelry to dental.\u201d \u201cI got free chocolate, free coffee, discounted massage, many vouchers, this event was worth it honestly,\u201d visitor Salma Haider said. \u201cI\u2019m here because I thought it would be fun,\u201d she added. The Bride show was an event for everyone, bride or not. It\u2019s an experience but you haven\u2019t missed a thing because over in Abu Dhabi, they\u2019re hosting the same event from the 26th<\/sup>to the 28th<\/sup>of June. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
