“Do” spend time at the comprehensive fifth annual East Meets West Bridal Fair coming once again to Durban’s Pavilion Shopping Centre from Friday, 25 October until Sunday, 27 October, when preparing to say “I Do” to your one and only.
The fair – which is held throughout the centre – boasts a myriad wedding themed events, activations, exhibitions and displays designed to help couples and their families plan for their big day.
Understanding the multi-cultural complexity of Durban, wedding support appropriate to different faith and cultural traditions; classic and contemporary styles; partner choices and aesthetics will be on offer. Over 30 exhibitors are spread throughout The Pavilion – showcasing everything from décor ideas to wedding cakes; champagne to suits; florists to henna; make-up to videography; bridal dresses to event planners; honeymoon destinations to wedding jewellery .
There are a multitude of event highlights this year: there will be carefully curated fashion shows, produced by Roberta Alessandri Events and Models, taking place in the main Fountain Court on Saturday and Sunday showcasing a range of designers; fashion houses; make-up artists; hairdressers; accessory-providers and support staff who specialise in weddings.
Shoppers can enter a phenomenal competition and stand in line to win a grand prize of a bespoke Durban wedding valued at more than R160 000 at the picturesque Macnut Farm Wedding and Function Venue in 1000 Hills, with all the trimmings and support.
